Two voltage pulse input ranges are selectable in the configuration menu, VoLt5 L and VoLt5 H. When configured for either of the voltage pulse ranges, the pulse input terminals 5 & 6 or 9 & 10 of the BA364G Counter comply with the requirements of simple apparatus.
INSTALLATION Location The BA364G Counter is housed in robust IP66 glass reinforced polyester (GRP) enclosure incorporating an armoured glass window and stainless steel fittings making it suitable for exterior mounting in most industrial on-shore and off-shore installations. The Counter should be positioned where the display is not in continuous direct sunlight.
The BA364G complies with the requirements of the European EMC Directive 2014/30/EU. For specified immunity all wiring should be in screened twisted pairs, with the screens earthed at one point in the safe area. Units of measurement and tag marking on scale card.
