DESCRIPTION

The BA314G is a field mounting intrinsically safe Tachometer

which will function with a wide variety of sensors. The

instrument displays speed plus the run-time of the machinery

being monitored.

This abbreviated instruction sheet is intended to assist with installation, a comprehensive instruction manual describing safety certification, system design and configuration may be downloaded from the BEKA website or may be requested from the BEKA sales office.

The BA314G Tachometer has IECEx, ATEX, UKEX, ETL and cETL intrinsic safety certification for use in flammable gas and dust atmospheres. The certification information label, which is located on the top of the instrument assembly, shows the certification numbers and codes. Other certifications may be shown. Copies of certificates may be downloaded from the BEKA website.

INSTALLATION

The BA314G Tachometer has a robust IP66 glass reinforced

polyester (GRP) carbon loaded enclosure incorporating an

armoured glass window & stainless steel fittings. 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 on the cable entry bonding plate, which may be assembled on the inside or outside of the enclosure, should be connected to local earthed metalwork or to the plant's potential equalising conductor.

Terminals A1, A2, A3 and A4 are only fitted when the Tachometer includes optional alarms. Similarly terminals C1, C2, C3 and C4 are only fitted when the instrument has an optional 4/20mA output. See full manual for details.

Scale card The instrument's units of measurement and tag information are shown above the display on a slide-in scale card. New instruments are fitted with a scale card showing the information specified when the instrument was ordered, if this was not provided a blank scale card will be fitted which can easily be marked on-site. Custom printed scale cards are available from BEKA associates.
To remove the scale card carefully pull the tab perpendicularly away from the instrument assembly. See Fig 2 for the location of the scale card tab.

OPERATION

The BA314G is controlled and configured via four front panel

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

is displaying speed the push button functions are:

& + * Resets run-time display to zero. This is a configurable function.

) + * Run-time grand total. If buttons are pressed for ten seconds or longer grand total run-time is reset to zero. This is a configurable function.

( + & Shows in succession, firmware version number, instrument function tacho and any output accessories that are fitted: -A Dual alarm outputs -P Pulse output (Always fitted) -c 4/20mA output

( + * Provides direct access to the optional alarm setpoints when the Tachometer is fitted with optional alarms and the AC5P setpoints function has been enabled.

4. CONFIGURATION
Tachometers 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 5 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 and for description of optional outputs. Access to the configuration menu is obtained by pressing the ( and ) buttons simultaneously. If the Tachometer's security code is set to default 0000 the first parameter input 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.

Unless otherwise specified menu functions are shown on the upper display
