7.2 Fault finding after commissioning
ENSURE PLANT SAFETY BEFORE
STARTING MAINTENANCE
Live
maintenance
is
permitted
on
intrinsically safe equipment installed in a
hazardous area, but only certified test
equipment should be used unless a gas
clearance certificate is available.
If a BA448CF-P fails after it has been functioning
correctly, the table shown in section 7.1 may help
to identify the cause of the failure.
If this procedure does not reveal the cause of the
fault, it is recommended that the instrument is
replaced.
7.3 Servicing
We recommend that faulty BA448CF-P Fieldbus
Indicators be returned to BEKA associates or to
our local agent for repair.
7.4 Routine maintenance
The mechanical and electrical condition of the
instrument should be regularly checked. Initially
annual inspections are recommended, but the
inspection frequency should be adjusted to suit the
environmental conditions.
7.5 Guarantee
Instruments 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.
7.6 Customer comments
BEKA associates is always pleased to receive
comments from customers about our products and
services. All communications are acknowledged

whenever
possible,
