Serial text displays have ATEX certification
The BA484D and BA488C intrinsically safe serial text displays now include Modbus protocol and nine standard format display screens showing one, two, three or four variables with optional bargraphs.
The 86 x 45mm high contrast LCD screen is backlit and can be read in all lighting conditions Power and bidirectional data are transmitted from the safe area via a galvanic isolator.
Up to four displays may be connected to one IS circuit and 14 to one multidrop system.
ATEX Group II Category 1G (EEx ia IIC T5) certification and an IP65 sealed front panel allow the BA488C to be installed in almost any gas hazardous area.
The BA488C is a drop-in replacement for 'text only' IS displays, providing enhanced performance and the latest certification.
For field mounting applications, the BA484D provides similar facilities in a robust IP66 GRP enclosure. Request a free brochure from Beka associates ...
