BEKA BA334E User manual

Brand: BEKA

Model: BA334E

Type: User manual

BEKA BA334E is a field-mounting intrinsically safe one-input Rate Totalizer designed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. With a robust GRP enclosure and separate terminal compartment, it's ideal for exterior surface or pipe mounting in various industrial environments. BA334E excels in rate and total flow measurement, displaying both values in the same or different engineering units. It features four front-panel push buttons for easy control and configuration, allowing users to modify settings like total scale factor, rate scale factor, and various reset options.

1. DESCRIPTION

The BA334E is a eld mounting intrinsically safe, one input

Rate Totaliser with a separate terminal compartment which

will function with a wide variety of sensors. The instrument

can display rate of ow and total ow in the same or dierent

engineering units.

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 BA334E Rate Totaliser has IECEx, ATEX and UKEX

intrinsic safety certication for use in ammable gas

atmospheres, plus ETL and cETL gas and dust certication.

The certication information label, which is located on the top

of the instrument assembly, shows the certication numbers

and codes. Other certications may be shown. Copies of

certicates may be downloaded from the BEKA website.

2. INSTALLATION

The BA334E Rate Totaliser has a robust IP66 GRP enclosure

with a separate terminal compartment incorporating an

armoured glass window & stainless steel ttings. It is suitable

for exterior surface mounting in most industrial environments,

or pipe mounting using an accessory kit.

If the enclosure is not bolted to an earthed post or structure,

the earth terminal should be connected to local earthed

metalwork or to the plant’s potential equalising conductor.

Step C and D

Remove the temporary

hole plug and install an

appropriate IP rated cable

gland or conduit fitting and

terminate field wiring.

Finally replace the terminal

cover and tighten the two

'A' screws.

Step B

Secure the instrument

to a flat surface with M6

screws through the

two 'B' holes.

Alternatively use a pipe

mounting kit.

Step A

Remove the terminal

cover by unscrewing

the two 'A' screws

Units of measurement and tag number

The BA334E is tted with a blank escutcheon around the

liquid crystal display. This can be supplied printed with any

units of measurement and tag information specied at the

time of ordering. Alternatively, the information may be added

on-site via an embossed strip, dry transfer or a permanent

marker.

To gain access to the escutcheon remove the terminal cover by

unscrewing the two ‘A’ screws which will reveal two concealed

‘D’ screws. Remove the push buttons by unscrewing the

two ‘C’ screws and un-plug the ve way connector. Finally,

unscrew all four ‘D’ screws and carefully lift o the front of the

instrument. The location of all the screws is shown in Fig 1.

3. OPERATION

The BA334E is controlled and congured via four front panel

push buttons. In the display mode i.e. when the instrument

is displaying ow the push button functions are:

) + & 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 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.

& + * If Local Total Reset CLr tot in the instrument

conguration menu has been activated, operating

the & and * buttons for three seconds will

reset the total display to zero and clear any pulses

stored in the pulse output. The Grand Total is not

reset.

4. CONFIGURATION

Rate Totalisers are supplied configured as requested at time of ordering, if not specified default configuration will be supplied but can easily be changed on-site. Fig 4 shows the location of

each function within the configuration menu with a brief summary of the function. Please refer to the full instruction manual for detailed configuration information. Access to the configuration

menu is obtained by pressing the ( and ) buttons simultaneously. If the Rate Totaliser's security code is set to default 0000 the first parameter function will be displayed. If the instrument

is protected by a security code, code will be displayed. The four digit code must be entered to gain access to the menu.
