3.4   Pulse input terminals

The BA314G Tachometer has a single pair of pulse
input terminals 5 and 6 that may be configured for use
with different types of sensor.   

For sensors that require energising to determine their
state, such as switch contacts or a 2-wire proximity
detector, an external link between terminals 3 & 4 of
the BA314G connects an internal 7V, 6mA supply to
the  input.    Energising  is  not  required  when  the
Tachometer's  input  is  connected  to  a  voltage  pulse
source.

Fitting  an  external  link  between  terminals  3  &  4
changes  the  output  safety  parameters  of  the
Tachometer  input  terminals  5  &  6  as  shown  in  the
following table.  This table also shows the types of
sensor requiring energising (link fitting).

3.4.1 Sensor not requiring energising

Sensors  employing  magnetic  pick-offs  or  voltage
pulse  sensors  do  not  require  energising,  therefore
terminals  3  &  4  should  not  be  linked.    When  not
energised i.e. without a link, the output parameters of
the  pulse  input  terminals  comply  with  the
requirements  for  

simple  apparatus

.    For  intrinsic

safety  purposes,  sources  of  energy  with  output
parameters  less  than  1.5V;  100mA and  25mW  are
considered  to  be  

simple  apparatus

 (Clause  5.7  of

EN60079-11),  which  allows  their  output  parameters
Uo, Io & Po to be ignored when assessing the safety
of an intrinsically safe system, thus  simplifying loop
assessment and documentation.

Almost any Sensor with a voltage pulse output may be
directly  connected  to  the  BA314G  input  in  a
hazardous area providing that:

a. The Sensor is a certified intrinsically safe device

having output parameters equal to or less than:

Uo

28V dc

Io

200mA dc

Po

0.84W

or

complies with requirements for 

simple apparatus.

b. The Sensor and associated wiring can withstand

a 500V rms insulation test to earth.

c. The   Sensor   is   located   in   the   same   hazardous

area  as  the  BA314G.    The  BA314G  EU-Type
Examination  Certificate  specifies  that  the
equivalent  capacitance  and  inductance  of  the
pulse input is:

Ci

=

2nF

Li

=

4µH

To   determine   the   maximum   permissible   cable
parameters these figures should be subtracted from
the maximum permitted output parameters Lo and
Co   specified   by   the   certificate   for   the   Sensor
connected  to  the  totaliser's  pulse  input  terminals.
The  totalisers  pulse  input  equivalent  capacitance
and  inductance  are  small  and  unlikely  to  make  a
significant  difference  to  the  allowable  cable
parameters.

3.4.2  Sensors requiring energising

Sensors with switch contacts, proximity detector or
open  collector  outputs  require  energising  which  is
achieved by linking Tachometer terminals 3 and 4
together  as  described  in  section  3.4.    When
energised, the output parameters of the pulse input
terminals 5 and 6 are:

Uo

=

10.5V dc

Io

=

9.2mA dc

Po

=

24mW

These  output  parameters  do  not  comply  with  the
requirements  for  

simple  apparatus

 and  should  be

considered when assessing the safety of the Sensor
connected to the totaliser pulse input.

Any  certified  intrinsically  safe  Sensor  may  be
connected  to  a BA314G energised  input providing
that:

a. The  Sensor  is  a  certified  intrinsically  safe

device  having  input  parameters  equal  to  or
greater than:

Uo

10.5V dc

Io

9.2mA dc

Po

24mW

or

complies with the requirements for  

simple apparatus 

such as switch

contacts.

b. The  Sensor  and  associated  wiring  can

withstand a 500V rms insulation test to earth.

c. The Sensor is located in the same hazardous

area as the BA314G.

d. Minimum  operating  voltage  of  a  proximity

detector is less than 7.5V.

e. The maximum capacitance and inductance that

may  be  safely  connected  to  the  energised
pulse  input  terminals  5  & 6  (terminals  3 & 4
linked) is:

Co

=

2.4µF

Lo

=

200mH

This is not restrictive as the combined capacitance
and inductance of most sensors and the connecting
cable will be less than this.
