INSTALLATION

5.1

Location

The  BA314G  Tachometer  is  housed  in  robust  IP66
glass  reinforced  polyester  (GRP)  enclosure
incorporating an armoured glass window and stainless
steel fittings making it suitable for exterior mounting in
most  industrial  on-shore  and  off-shore  installations.
The  Tachometer  should  be  positioned  where  the
display is not in continuous direct sunlight.  Special
conditions apply for Zone 0 installations, see  section
3.2.

Field wiring terminals are located on the rear of the
Tachometer assembly as shown in Fig 7.   

To  ensure  electrical  continuity  between  the  two
conduit  or  cable  entries,  the  enclosure  back-box  is
fitted with a bonding plate which includes an M4 earth
stud.   This may be mounted on the inside or outside
of the enclosure.  If the carbon loaded GRP enclosure
is not bolted to an earthed post or structure, this earth
stud should be connected to a local earth or to the
plant potential equalising conductor.  

An insulated M4 stud is provided in the bottom right
hand  corner  the  back-box  for  interconnecting  cable
screens.

The BA314G Tachometer may be pipe mounted using
a BA393G pipe mounting kit, or panel mounted using
a BA394G or BA395G panel mounting kit.

5.2

Installation Procedure

Fig 6 illustrates the instrument installation procedure.

A. Remove  the  Tachometer  assembly  by

unscrewing the four captive 'A' screws.

B. Mount the enclosure back-box on a flat surface

and secure with screws or bolts through the four
'B' holes.  Alternatively use one of the pipe or
panel  mounting  kits  which  are  available  as
accessories.

C. Remove the temporary hole plug and install an

appropriate  IP  and  temperature  rated  M20  x
1.5mm  cable  gland  or  conduit  fitting.      If  two
entries are required,  the supplied IP66 stopping
plug should be replaced with an appropriate IP
and temperature rated M20 x 1.5mm cable gland
or conduit fitting.

D. Connect  the  field  wiring  to  the  terminals  as

shown  in  Fig  7.  Replace  the  instrument
assembly on the back-box and evenly tighten the
four 'A' screws.
