This instruction manual supplements the abbreviated instruction sheet supplied with each instrument. The BA367E-SS has been certified intrinsically safe for use in gas and dust hazardous areas by Notified Body Intertek Testing and Certification Ltd and complies with the European ATEX Directive 2014/34/ EU.
2.1 Initialisation 2.3 Displays Each time power is applied to a BA367E-SS Counter The BA367E-SS Counter has two digital displays initialisation is performed. After a short delay the and associated annunciators, plus a pulse input following display sequence occurs: indicator as shown on the front page of this manual.
This section of the instruction manual describes This means that when installed in an Ex e, Ex n, ATEX installations in explosive gas atmospheres Ex p or Ex t panel enclosure the BA367E-SS conforming with EN60079-14 Electrical installations remains an intrinsically safe instrument and must design, selection and erection.

Although the front of the BA367E-SS has IP66 protection, it should be shielded from continuous direct sunlight and severe weather conditions. The BA367E-SS may be located in Zone 0, 1 or 2 providing that the operating temperature is between –40°C and +60°C and the installation complies with the certification requirements.
