Although the front of the indicators have IP66 protection, they should be shielded from continuous direct sunlight and severe weather conditions. The BA507E-SS and BA527E-SS may be located in any panel providing that the operating temperature is between –40°C and +70°C.
A pack of self-adhesive scale cards printed with common units of measurement is available as an 4.3 Indicator earthing accessory from BEKA associates. Custom printed Both indicators have an M4 earth stud on the rear panel which should be electrically connected to the scale cards can also be supplied.
