A4.5 Installation Procedure

Fig A4.1 illustrates the instrument installation
procedure.

a. Remove the instrument terminal cover by

unscrewing the two captive 'A' screws.

b. Mount the instrument on a flat surface and

secure with screws or bolts through the two 'B'
holes. Alternatively secure to a vertical or
horizontal pipe using a BA392D or BA393
pipe mounting kit.

c. Remove the temporary hole plug and install an

appropriate  IP  rated  cable  gland  or  conduit
fitting.   If more than one entry is required, one
or  both  of  the  IP66  stopping  plugs  may  be
replaced  with  an  appropriate  IP  rated  cable
gland or conduit fitting.

d. Connect the field wiring to the terminals as

shown in Fig A4.2.

e. Replace the instrument terminal cover and

evenly tighten the two 'A' screws.

If the BA334E is not bolted to an earthed post or
structure, the earth terminal should be connected to
the plant potential equalising conductor.

A4.6 EMC

The BA334E complies with the requirements of the
European EMC Directive 2014/30/EU. For
specified immunity all wiring should be in screened
twisted pairs, with the screens earthed in the safe
area.
