BEKA BA367E-SS User manual

Brand: BEKA

Model: BA367E-SS

Type: User manual

BEKA BA367E-SS, your newly purchased rugged one-input intrinsically safe counter, offers reliable counting in hazardous environments. With IECEx, ATEX, and UKEX certifications, it's suitable for use in flammable gas and dust atmospheres. ETL and cETL approvals allow installation in the USA and Canada. Its stainless steel enclosure ensures durability, while the captive gasket guarantees an IP66 seal.

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.

2. INSTALLATION

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

slot at the rear of the instrument as shown below

Unlock

Lock

Fig 4 Inserting exible strip carrying scale

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.

3. OPERATION

The Counter is controlled by four front panel push buttons. When

in the operating mode they have the following functions:

( + ) Access to conguration menu.

& + * If Local Total Reset CLr

tot in the instrument

conguration menu has been activated, operating the

& and * buttons simultaneously for three seconds

will reset the total display to zero and clear any pulses

stored in the optional pulse output.

) + & Grand total - shows Lo followed by least signicant 8

digits of the 16 digit grand total.

) + * Grand total - shows Hi followed by the most signicant

8 digits of the 16 digit grand total.

If Local Grand Total Reset Clr Gtot in the instrument

conguration menu has been activated, operating the

) and * buttons simultaneously for ten seconds will

result in Clr

no being displayed with the no ashing.

Operating the * or & button will change the display

to Clr . YE5, the ) button will then reset the grand

total to zero which will be conrmed by a brief display

of Gt Clrd.
