BEKA BA367E-SS User manual

  • Hello! I've analyzed the provided instruction sheet for the BEKA BA367E-SS Counter. This document details the installation, operation, and configuration of this intrinsically safe counter, including its certifications and scale card replacement. I'm ready to answer your questions about the device.
  • What certifications does the BA367E-SS have?
    How can I change the scale card on the counter?
    How do I access the configuration menu?
    What are the functions of the four front push buttons?
1. DESCRIPTION
The BA367E-SS is an intrinsically safe, one input Counter housed
in a rugged 316 stainless steel panel mounting enclosure which
can operate with a wide range of sensors.
This abbreviated instruction sheet is intended to assist with
installation, a comprehensive instruction manual describing safety
certication, system design and conguration may be downloaded
from the BEKA website or may be requested from the BEKA sales
oce.
The BA367E-SS has IECEx, ATEX and UKEX intrinsic safety
certication for use in ammable gas and dust atmospheres. ETL
and cETL approval permits installation in the USA and Canada.
The certication information label, which is located on the top
of the instrument enclosure, shows the certication number and
codes. Other certications may be shown. Copies of certicates
may be downloaded from the BEKA website.
Typical certication information label
Special conditions for safe use
The IECEx, ATEX and UKEX intrinsic safety certicate numbers
have an ‘X’ sux indicating that for some applications special
conditions apply for safe use.
a. When installed in an Ex e, Ex p or Ex t panel enclosure all
connections to the BA367E-SS must be made by appropriately
rated Zener barriers or galvanic isolators.
This means that when installed in an Ex e, Ex p or Ex t panel
enclosure the BA367E-SS remains an intrinsically safe instrument.
b. The front of the stainless steel enclosure complies with the
requirements for Ex e, Ex p & Ex t type of protection.
Therefore when correctly installed the BA367E-SS Counter will not
invalidate the Ex e, Ex p or Ex t panel enclosure certication.
Use in combustible dust atmospheres
See full instruction manual for installation information
requirements and special conditions for safe use in combustible
dust atmospheres.

Scale card
The Counters units of measurement are shown on a printed scale
card visible through a window at the right hand side of the display.
The scale card is mounted on a exible strip that is inserted into a

card into slot at the rear of Counter.
Thus the scale card can easily be changed without removing the
Counter from the panel or opening the instrument enclosure.
New Counters are supplied with a printed scale card showing the
requested units of measurement, if this information is not supplied
when the Counter is ordered a blank card will be tted.
A pack of self-adhesive scale cards printed with common units of
measurement is available as an accessory from BEKA associates.
Custom printed scale cards can also be supplied.
To change a scale card, unclip the protruding end of the exible
strip by gently pushing it upwards and pulling it out of the enclosure.
Peel the existing scale card from the exible strip and replace it with
a new printed card, which should be aligned as shown below. Do
not t a new scale card on top of an existing card.
Align the self-adhesive printed scale
card onto the exible strip and insert
the strip into the Counter as shown.
