Grand

Is a 16 digit (15 digit with negative sign)

Total

number which is not zeroed when the
total display is zeroed.  The Grand Total
is viewed from the operating mode as
two eight digit numbers, it may be reset
to   zero   from   within   the   configuration
menu or from the operating mode.

INTRINSIC SAFETY CERTIFICATION

The BA354E rate totaliser has ATEX and IECEx
gas   certification   plus   optional   dust   certification.
This   section   of   the   instruction   manual   describes
ATEX   gas   certification.     Optional   ATEX   dust,
IECEx   and   other   approvals   are   described   in
separate appendixes to this manual.   

3.1 ATEX gas certification

Notified Body Intertek Testing and Certification Ltd
have   issued   the   BA354E   with   an   EC-Type
Examination

 

Certificate

 

number

ITS11ATEX27253X.     This   confirms   compliance
with   harmonised   European   standards   and   it   has
been   used   to   confirm   compliance   with   the
European   ATEX  Directive   for  Group   II,   Category
1G   equipment,         Ex   ia   IIC   T5   Ga   Ta   =   -40   to
+70ºC.   The Rate Totaliser bears the community
mark and subject to local codes of practice may be
installed   in   any   of   the   European   Economic  Area
(EEA)   member   countries.     ATEX   certificates   are
also acceptable for installations in Switzerland. 

This   section   of   the   instruction   manual   describes
ATEX  installations  in   explosive   gas  atmospheres
conforming   with   EN60079-14   Electrical
Installations in Hazardous Areas.  When designing
systems   for  installation   outside   the   UK   the   local
Code of Practice should be consulted.

3.2  Zones, gas groups and T rating

The   BA354E   Rate   Totaliser   has   been   certified
Ex ia IIC T5 Ga.     When connected to a suitable
system it may be installed in:

Zone 0

explosive gas air mixture
continuously present.

Zone 1

explosive gas air mixture likely
to occur in normal operation.

Zone 2

explosive gas air mixture not
likely to occur, and if it does 
will only exist for a short time.

Be used with gases in groups:

Group   A    propane
Group   B    ethylene
Group   C    hydrogen

In gases that may be used with equipment having
a temperature classification of :

T1

450

o

C

T2

300

o

C

T3

T4

T5

At ambient temperatures between -40 and +70

o

C.  

CAUTION installation in Zone 0

When installed in a Zone 0 potentially explosive
atmosphere   requiring   EPL   Ga   apparatus,   the
instrument shall  be installed such that even in
the   event   of   rare   incidents,   an   ignition   source
due to impact or friction between the aluminium
label and iron/steel is excluded.

 

No special conditions apply when the indicator is
installed in Zone 1 or in Zone 2.

Note:

  The specified operating temperature of the

BA354E is –20 to +70ºC.   At temperatures below
–20ºC the instrument will continue to totalise but
the display will not function

.  

This allows the Rate Totaliser to be installed in all
gas   Zones   and   to   be   used   with   most   common
industrial gases.

3.3   4/20mA input 

The input safety parameters for the 4/20mA input,
terminals 1 and 3 are:

Ui

=

30V dc

Ii

=

200mA

Pi

=

0.84W   

 
The   maximum   equivalent   capacitance   and
inductance   between   the   two   4/20mA   input
terminals 1 and 3 is:

Ci

=      13nF

Li

=      16µH

The   maximum   permitted   loop   cable   parameters
can be calculated by adding these figures to Ci and
Li of other instruments in the loop and subtracting
the totals from the maximum cable capacitance Co
and cable inductance Lo permitted for the Zener
barrier or galvanic isolator powering the loop.

Although   the   BA354E   does   not   comply   with   the
requirements   for  

simple

 

apparatus

,   the   EC-Type

Examination   Certificate   states   that   for   intrinsic
safety   considerations,   under   fault   conditions   the
output voltage, current and power at terminals 1 &
3 will not exceed those specified by clause 5.7 of
EN 60079-11 for 

simple apparatus. 

This simplifies

the application and intrinsic safety documentation
for   a   loop   into   which   the   BA354E   is   connected.
Apart from Ci, the affect of the Rate Totaliser may
be ignored when assessing loop safety.
