9.  MAINTENANCE

9.1 Fault finding during commissioning

If  an  Rate  Totaliser  fails  to  function  during
commissioning  the  following  procedure  should  be
followed:

Symptom

Cause

Solution

No display

Incorrect wiring

Check wiring

There should be

0.6 to 1.2V

between terminals

1 & 3 with terminal

1 positive.

With an optional

loop powered

backlight, there

should be 3.4 to

5V between

terminals 1 & 13

with terminal 1

positive.

No display

0V between

terminals 1 & 3.

Incorrect wiring

or no power

supply

Check supply

voltage and

voltage drop

caused by all the

instruments in the

loop.

Rate display

showing 

-99999 or 99999

with all decimal

points flashing

Over-range

The rate display

has been

incorrectly

calibrated & is

trying to display a

number outside

the range

 –99999 to 99999.

Recalibrate rate

display.

Total display

showing 

-9999999 or

99999999 with all

decimal points

flashing

Over-range

Reset total display

to zero.

Unstable display

4/20mA input is

noisy.

Eliminate ripple on

4/20mA power

supply and/or

decrease Rate

Totaliser

resolution.

Unable to enter

configuration

menu.

Incorrect

security code

entered.

Enter correct

security code, or

contact BEKA if

the code has been

lost.

9.2  Fault finding after commissioning

ENSURE PLANT SAFETY BEFORE

STARTING MAINTENANCE

Live  maintenance  within  the  hazardous
area should only be performed when it is
permitted by risk analysis or when there is
no risk of a flammable atmosphere being
present.

If an Rate Totaliser fails after it has been functioning
correctly follow the procedure shown in section 9.1.
If this does not reveal the cause of the fault, it is
recommended that the instrument is replaced.

9.3  Servicing

All  BA354NE  loop  powered  Rate  Totalisers  are
interchangeable  if  the  required  optional  backlight
and  alarms  are  fitted.    A  single  spare  instrument
may  quickly  be  recalibrated  to  replace  any
instrument  that is  damaged  or  fails.     No  attempt
should be made to repair instruments at component
level.
 

We recommend that faulty instruments are
returned  to  BEKA  associates  or  to  your
local BEKA agent for repair.

9.4 Routine maintenance

Routine  maintenance  should  comply  with  the
recommendations  contained  in  BS  EN  6007-17
‘Electrical  Installations  Inspections  and
Maintenance’.    The  mechanical  condition  of  the
instrument  and  electrical  calibration  should  be
regularly checked. The interval between inspections
depends  upon  environmental  conditions.    We
recommend  that  initially  instrument  calibration
should be checked annually.

9.5  Guarantee

Rate  Totalisers  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.

9.6  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.
