After a short delay the flowmeters. instrument simultaneously following display sequence occurs: displays the rate of flow and the total flow in engineering units on two separate displays.
2, 4, 6 and 8 are interconnected within the BA534D - see Fig 1. 3.2 Power supply The BA534D may be powered from any dc supply having an output voltage between 10 and 30V. The instrument consumes about 12mA rising to...
3.3 Pulse input 4. INSTALLATION As shown in Fig 2, the BA534D will count pulses from a wide variety of transducers enabling it to 4.1 Location display the output from almost any flowmeter. The BA534D rate totaliser is housed in a robust...
Fig 3 BA534D installation procedure Fig 4 Dimensions and terminal connections 4.3 EMC The BA534D complies with the requirements of the European EMC Directive 2004/108/EEC. For specified immunity all wiring should be in screened twisted pairs and the BA534D earth terminal should be locally earthed or connected to an earthed cable screen.
5.3 is read before attempting programming or recalibration. When the BA534D is fitted with alarms, a pulse output or a 4/20mA output, the basic menu is expanded to include the accessories.

207,301.7 pulses per 1000 gallons ‘LOC. rSEt’ When activated this function enables the operator to reset the BA534D total display to zero in the (there are 4.54609 litres in a UK gallon) display mode by operating the Up and Down push-buttons simultaneously for more than two seconds.
The revised security code will be activated when the indicator is returned to the display mode. The BA534D is required to display rate of flow in litres per hour with a resolution of one litre and If the security code is lost, access to the total flow in cubic metres with a resolution of 0.01...

All the programming functions will now be stored in permanent memory and will be protected by the security code from accidental or unauthorised adjustment.
ENSURE PLANT SAFETY BEFORE If a BA534D fails to function during commissioning STARTING MAINTENANCE the following procedure should be followed: If a BA534D fails after it has been functioning correctly, the following table may help to identify Symptom Cause Check: the cause of the failure.
