Clock

11.1

Fault finding during commissioning

If a BA377E-SS fails to function as a Clock during
commissioning   the   following   procedure   should   be
followed:

Symptom

Cause

Check:

No display

No power supply, or

incorrect wiring.

Note: Terminals 2 &

RS2 are

interconnected

within the

instrument.

That there is

between 10 and

28V on terminals 1

& 2 with terminal 1

positive.

That there are no

connections to

terminals

3, 4, 5 & 6. 

Configuration menu

correspond with the

Clock section of this

manual.

BA377E-SS is

configured as a

Timer.

activated,  

disconnect link

between RS1 and

RS2.

Contact BEKA if

code is lost.

11.2

Fault finding after commissioning

ENSURE PLANT SAFETY BEFORE

STARTING MAINTENANCE

Live   maintenance   is   permitted   on
intrinsically   safe   equipment   installed
in a hazardous area, but only certified
test equipment should be used unless
a gas clearance certificate is available.

If   a   BA377E-SS   fails   after   it   has   been   functioning
correctly as a Clock, the following table may help to
identify the cause of the failure.

Symptom

Cause

Check:

No display

No power supply

That there is

between 10 and

28V on  terminals 1

& 2 with terminal 1

positive.

Instrument power

supply has been

interrupted and

of the instrument

configuration menu.

Control output(s) do

not function.

Control outputs

have not been

enabled.

Enable Control

Output(s) in the

configuration menu.

Clock will not start

Reset terminals

RS1 and RS2 are

connected together

and the clock is

resetting.

If reset annunciator

on display is

activated, 

disconnect

connection between

RS1 and RS2.

Unable to enter

configuration menu.

Incorrect security

code

That the correct

security code is

being used.

Contact BEKA if

code is lost.

If this procedure does not reveal the cause of the
fault,   it   is   recommended   that   the   instrument   is
replaced. 

11.3

Servicing

We recommend that faulty BA377E-SS Clocks are
returned to BEKA associates or to our local agent for
repair.

11.4

Routine maintenance

The   mechanical   and   electrical   condition   of   the
instrument should be regularly checked.   Inspection
frequency   should   be   chosen   to   suit   the
environmental conditions.

11.5

Guarantee

Instruments   which   fail   within   the   guarantee   period
should be returned to BEKA associates or our local
agent.   It is helpful if a brief description of the fault
symptoms is provided.

11.6

Customer comments

BEKA is always pleased to receive comments from
customers   about   our   products   and   services.     All
communications   are   acknowledged   and   whenever
possible, suggestions are implemented.
