BEKA BA374E User manual

Brand: BEKA

Model: BA374E

Type: User manual

BEKA BA374E is an intrinsically safe two-input field mounting Timer or Clock, suitable for exterior surface mounting in industrial environments. It can measure and display elapsed time between external events, or control external events via two control outputs. When configured as a Clock, it displays local time and can turn on and off twice in each 24-hour period. It has a separate terminal compartment for easy access and can be configured via four front panel push buttons.

1. DESCRIPTION

The BA374E is a eld mounting intrinsically safe, instrument

with a separate terminal compartment which can be

congured as a Timer or as a Clock. As a Timer the BA374E

can measure and display the elapsed time between external

events, or control external events via two control outputs.

When congured as a Clock the BA374E displays local time

and the control outputs can turn on and o twice in each 24

hour period.

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 BA374E Timer or Clock 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 enclosure, shows the certication numbers

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

certicates may be downloaded from the BEKA website.

Typical certication information label

2. INSTALLATION

The BA374E Timer or Clock has 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 BA374E 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 BA374E is controlled and congured via four front panel

push buttons. When congured as a Timer the push button

functions are:

& When local control is enabled starts the Timer

* When local control is enabled stops the Timer

) + * Shows the grand total (run time) in hours and tenths

of an hour irrespective of Timer conguration. If

buttons are held for longer than ten seconds the

grand total may be reset to zero if the grand total

reset sub-function Glr gtot is enabled in the

LoC r5Et conguration function.

To reset the grand total to zero from the display

mode press the ) + * buttons for ten seconds

until CLr. no is displayed. Using the & or *

button change the display to CLr. YE5 and press ).

& + * Resets the Timer to zero or to the set time 5Et t

depending on whether the Timer is congured to

time-up or time-down when the two buttons are

operated simultaneously for more than three

seconds. This is a congurable function.

( + & When enabled in the conguration menu, operating

these two buttons simultaneously provides direct

access from the display mode to the set time 5Et t

and, if the repeat timing cycle is enabled, to the

restart delay r5t dela.
