1.5 INSTALLATION
1.5.1 Location
The BA364D is housed in a robust IP66 glass
reinforced polyester (GRP) enclosure
incorporating an armoured glass window and
stainless steel fittings. It is suitable for exterior
mounting in most industrial environments,
including offshore and waste water treatment
installations. Please consult BEKA associates if
high vibration is anticipated.
The BA364D enclosure is surface mounting.
Accessory kits described in sections 1.9.2 & 1.9.3
of this manual enable the instrument to be
mounted onto a vertical or horizontal pipe, or to
be supported by conduit.
The field terminals and the two mounting holes
are located in a separate compartment with a
sealed cover allowing the instrument to be
installed without exposing the display assembly.
The BA364D earth terminal is connected to the
internal EMC filters. To achieve the stated radio
frequency interference rejection this terminal
should be connected to a local earth, or to a
cable screen which is earthed in the safe area.
The BA364D enclosure is supplied with a
bonding plate to ensure electrical continuity
between the three conduit / cable entries.
1.5.2 Installation Procedure
Fig 1.2 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 two M6 screws through the 'B'
holes. Alternatively use one of the
mounting kits described in sections 1.9.2
and 1.9.3
c.
Remove the temporary dust seals from the
three cable entries and install the required
glands, conduit fittings or blanking plugs.
Note:
the temporary dust seals do not
provide IP66 protection.
d.
Connect the field wiring to the terminals as
shown in Fig 1.3.
e. Replace the instrument terminal cover and
evenly tighten the two 'A' screws.

1.5.3 EMC
The BA364D complies with the requirements of
the European EMC Directive 89/336/EEC. For
specified immunity all wiring should be in
screened twisted pairs, with the screens earthed
in the safe area. To prevent circulating currents,
cable screens should only be earthed at one
point in the safe area.
The BA364D earth terminal should be connected
to a local earth, or to a cable screen which is
earthed in the safe area.
