6.  MAINTENANCE

6.1 Fault finding during commissioning

If a BA627E Set Point Station fails to function during
commissioning   the   following   procedure   should   be
followed:

Symptom

Cause

Solution

No loop current

Incorrect wiring

Check wiring

There should be 
6.1 to 30V 
between terminals 
1 & 3 with terminal
1 positive.  
 
With an optional 
backlight which is 
loop powered, 
there should be 
10V to 30V 
between  terminals
3 & 12 with 
terminal 12 
positive.  

No loop current
0V between 
terminals 1 & 3 or 
between terminals 
3 & 12 if optional 
backlight is loop 
powered.

Incorrect wiring 
or no power 
supply

Check supply 
voltage and 
voltage drop 
caused by all the 
instruments in the 
loop.

Unstable 4/20mA 
loop current.

Noisy power 
supply or 
insufficient 
voltage to power
all the 
instruments in 
the loop. 

Eliminate ripple on
power supply or 
increase supply 
voltage.

Unable to enter 
configuration 
menu.

Incorrect 
security code 
entered.

Enter correct 
security code, or 
contact BEKA if 
the code has been
lost.

BA627E displays
‘LP Lo’

Voltage between
BA627E terminal
1 & 3 is too low, 

Increase 4/20mA 
loop supply 
voltage.

6.2  Fault finding after commissioning

ENSURE PLANT SAFETY BEFORE

STARTING MAINTENANCE

If a BA627E Set Point Station fails after it has been
functioning correctly follow the procedure shown in
section 6.1.  If this does not reveal the cause of the
fault, it is recommended that the Set Point Station is
replaced.

6.3  Servicing

We   recommend   that   faulty   BA627E   Set   Point
Stations are returned to BEKA associates or to our
local agent for repair.

6.4  Routine maintenence

The   mechanical   and   electrical   condition   of   the
instrument   should   be   regularly   checked.     Initially
annual   inspections   are   recommended,   but   the
inspection frequency should be adjusted to suit the
environmental conditions.

6.5  Guarantee

Set   Point   Stations   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.

6.6  Customer comments

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