BAPI Loop-Powered 4 to 20ma Temperature Transmitters Instruction Manual
Overview and Identification
BAPI’s loop-powered 4 to 20mA temperature transmitters in the BAPI-Box Crossover enclosure feature a 1K Platinum RTD (385 curve) and are available in a wide selection of temperature ranges or custom ranges. They can be ordered with a special high accuracy RTD matched transmitters which match the sensor to the transmitter for improved accuracy.
The BAPI-Box Crossover enclosure has a hinged cover for easy termination and comes with an IP10 rating (or IP44 rating with a pierceable knockout plug installed in the open port).
This instruction sheet is specific to units with the BAPI-Box Crossover Enclosure. For all other units, please refer to instruction sheet “22199_ ins_T1K_T100_XMTR.pdf” which is available on the BAPI website or by contacting BAPI.
Mounting
Mount the enclosure to the surface using BAPI recommended #8 screws through a minimum of two opposing mounting tabs. A 1/8″ inch pilot screw hole makes mounting easier through the tabs. Use the enclosure tabs to mark the pilot hole locations.
The BAPI-Box Crossover enclosure has a hinged cover for easy termination and comes with an IP10 rating (or IP44 rating with a pierceable knockout plug installed in the open port).
Notes: Use caulk or Teflon tape for your conduit entries to maintain the appropriate IP or NEMA rating for your application. Conduit entry for outdoor or wet applications should be from the bottom of the enclosure.
Wiring & Termination
BAPI recommends using twisted pair of at least 22AWG and sealant filled connectors for all wire connections. Larger gauge wire may be required for long runs. All wiring must comply with the National Electric Code (NEC) and local codes. Do NOT run this device’s wiring in the same conduit as high or low voltage AC power wiring. BAPI’s tests show that inaccurate signal levels are possible when AC power wiring is present in the same conduit as the sensor wires.
