DESCRIPTION OPERATION These rugged panel mounting, general purpose Fig 1 shows a simplified block diagram of all digital indicators display the current flowing in a models. The 4/20mA input current flows through 4/20mA loop in engineering units. They are loop resistor R1 and forward biased diode D1.
Controls APPLICATIONS Both models are controlled and calibrated via four front panel push buttons. In the display mode i.e. Transmitter loops when the indicator is displaying a process variable, Both models may be connected in series with these push buttons have the following functions: almost any 4/20mA current loop and calibrated to display the measured variable or control signal in While this button is pushed the...
Fig 3 Indicator providing a remote display Fig 4 Recommended panel cut-out dimensions INSTALLATION 4.1 Location BA504G-SS-PM and BA524G-SS-PM indicators have a 316 stainless steel enclosure. Both have IP66 front of panel ingress protection after a 7J impact and have a thick armoured window which will withstand a 4J impact.
Custom printed scale cards are available from BEKA associates as an accessory. To remove the scale card from an indicator carefully pull the transparent tab at the rear of the...
CONFIGURATION AND CALIBRATION Summary of configuration functions Both indicators are configured and calibrated via This section summarises each of the main four front panel push buttons. The configuration configuration functions and includes a cross functions are contained in an easy to use intuitive reference to a more detailed description.

ACCESSORIES 8.2.1 Loop powering the backlight Units of measurement & instrument The backlight is loop powered by connecting it in identification. series with the indicator’s 4/20mA input as shown New indicators are supplied with a printed scale in Fig 12, which increases the maximum indicator card showing the units of measurement and tag voltage drop from 1.2 to 5V.
8.2.2 Separately powering the backlight Alarms The optional backlight may also be powered from a Both models can be supplied with factory fitted separate power supply as shown in Fig 13. dual solid state, single pole, voltage free alarm outputs. Each alarm output may be independently configured as a high or low alarm with a normally open or normally closed output in the non-alarm condition.
8.3.1 Solid state output Each alarm has a galvanically isolated single pole solid state switch output which is shown in Fig 15. The output is polarised and current will only flow in one direction. less than 5Ω + 0.7V Roff greater than 1MΩ...
