8.  MAINTENANCE when configured as a Timer 

8.1

Fault finding during commissioning

If  a  BA374NG  fails  to  function  as  a  Timer  during
commissioning  the  following  procedure  should  be
followed:

Symptom

Cause

Check:

No display

No power
supply, or

incorrect wiring.

Note: Terminals

2, 6, 10 & RS2

are

interconnected

within the

instrument.

That there is

between 10 and

30V on

terminals 1 & 2

with terminal 1

positive.

Instrument

8.2

Fault finding after commissioning

EN 60079-17  

Electrical installations inspection and

maintenance

 permits live maintenance in Zone 2 if a

risk  analysis  demonstrates  that  this  does  not
introduce  an  unacceptable  risk.    The  removal  of
covers  [opening  of  Ex n  instrument  enclosure]  is
permitted if this can be done without contaminating
the interior of the instrument with dust or moisture.
Some  end-users  may  prefer  not  to  permit  live
maintenance to minimise risk.

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.

Symptom

Cause

Check:

No display

No power

supply

That there is

between 10 and

30V on

terminals 1 & 2

with terminal 1

positive.

Timer will not

start.

Timer not reset

Reset timer via

external contact

or by operating

and

buttons

simultaneously if

local total reset

been activated.

Control

output(s) do not

Control Outputs

have not been

enabled.

Enable Control

Output(s) in the

configuration

menu.

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. 

Note:

If configuration changes are made to any of
the  following  functions  the  Timer  will  be
forced into a fail safe idle condition.   This
stops the Timer in the state it achieves when
it has timed-up to  

5et  t

 or timed-down to

0000

.  The Timer must be reset before it can

be restarted.
