INTRODUCTION
- The BA3101 and BA3102 are IECEx, ATEX and UKEX certified intrinsically safe Operator Displays. They are the core of the Pageant Operator Display System comprising a 7 inch backlit display with 8 touch buttons, plus 8 sockets which can accommodate a single CPU module and up to 7 input and output modules.
- BA3101 and BA3102 Operator Displays are mechanically and electrically identical, except for their display windows and certification. The BA3101 has a stainless steel front panel surrounding a toughened glass display window.
- The BA3102 has a stainless steel front panel surrounding an impact resistant polycarbonate window with a scratch resistant exterior hard coating. The BA3102 certification allows the Operator Display to be installed in an Ex e or Ex t enclosure without invalidating the enclosure’s certification.
- Both models have third party certified !P66 front panel ingress protection.
- Operator Displays and all of the plug-in modules have individual intrinsic safety apparatus certificates. Compatible input and output safety parameters allow any certified BEKA plug-in Pageant CPU module to be fitted in display socket ‘C’. Similarly, any certified BEKA plug-in Pageant input or output module may be fitted into sockets 1 to 7, providing the sum of the percentage power consumption of all the modules fitted does not exceed 100%. See Pageant System
- Operator Panel instructions for further details. Apart from an earth stud, all field connections to the Pageant Operator Displays are made via removable terminals on the plug-in modules.
Pageant Operator Displays are CE marked to show compliance with the European Explosive Atmospheres Directive 2014/34/EU and the European EMC Directive 2014/30/EU. Operator Displays are also UKCA marked to show compliance with UK statutory requirements Equipment and Protective Systems Intended for Use in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Regulations UKSI 2016:1107 (as amended) and with the Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations UKSI 2016:1091.
INTRINSIC SAFETY CERTIFICATION
Notified Body CML B.V. and UK Approved Body Eurofins CML have issued the Pageant Operator Displays with the following apparatus certificates:
- IECEx IECEx CML 20.0150X
- ATEX CML 20ATEX2252X
- UKEX CML21UKEX2003
The ATEX certificate confirms compliance with harmonised European standards
and this has been used to confirm compliance with the European ATEX Directive
for Group II, Category 1G and 1D equipment. The Operator Displays carry both
the CE and UKCA marks, subject to local codes of practice, they may be
installed in any of the European Economic Area (EEA) member countries and in
the UK. ATEX certificates are also acceptable for installations in some non EU
countries.
These instructions describe IECEx, ATEX and UKEX installations which conform
with IEC / EN 60079-14 Electrical installations design, selection and
erection. When designing systems the local code of practice should be
consulted.
Gas atmospheres – Zones, gas groups and T rating
All of the Operator Display certificates specify the same gas code: Ex ia
IIC T4 Ga -40°C ≤ Ta ≤ 65°C
The Operator Display has no external connections, the only input and output
intrinsic safety parameters are for the plug-in modules. It is therefore only
necessary for the specifier and installer to ensure that all the plug-in
modules are manufactured by BEKA and are certified for use with a Pageant
Operator Display.
When fitted with a certified BEKA plug-in CPU module and certified BEKA plug- in input and output modules, the Operator Display may be installed in:
- Zone 0
- explosive gas air mixture continuously present.
- (Unlikely requirement for a display)
- 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°C
- T2 300°C
- T3 200°C
- T4 135°C
At an ambient temperature Ta between -40°C and +65°C
Dust atmospheres – Zones
All of the Operator Display certificates specify the same dust code: Ex
ia IIIC T135°C Da -40°C ≤ Ta ≤ 65°C.
For applications in dust atmospheres, the certificates specify Special Conditions of Use (See section 2.3) which require the rear of the Operator Panel to have additional protection. This requirement can be satisfied by mounting the Operator Display in a component certified Ex t enclosure with cable glands providing a minimum IP5X sealing.
When fitted with a certified BEKA plug-in CPU module and certified BEKA plug- in input and output modules, the BA3101 may be installed in:
- Zone 20 explosive atmosphere in the form of a cloud of combustible dust in the air is continuously present, or for long periods or frequently.
- Zone 21 explosive atmosphere in the form of a cloud of combustible dust in the air is likely to occur occasionally in normal operation.
- Zone 22 explosive atmosphere in the form of a cloud of combustible dust in the air is not likely to occur in normal operation, but if it does occur, will only persist for a short period.
Be used with dust in subdivisions:
- IIIA combustible flyings
- IIIB non-conductive dust
- IIIC conductive dust
Special conditions for safe use
All three certificate numbers have an ‘X’ suffix indicating that special
conditions apply, please see certificates.
- Under certain extreme circumstances, the non-metallic parts incorporated in the enclosure of this equipment may generate an ignition-capable level of electrostatic charge. Therefore, the equipment shall not be installed in a location where the external conditions are conducive to the build-up of electrostatic charge on such surfaces. In addition, the equipment shall only be cleaned with a damp cloth.
- The metal bezel of the equipment shall be connected to earth via the integral earth stud.
- In installations requiring EPLs Da, Db, or Dc, the surface temperature assigned to this equipment shall take precedence over the surface temperature assigned to any plug-in module which may be installed within its enclosure.
- In installations requiring EPL Da, Db, or Dc, the equipment shall be mounted to an enclosure which provides a minimum degree of protection of IP5X and which meets the requirements of EN60079-0 Clause 8.4 (material composition requirements for metallic enclosures for Group III) and/or EN60079-0 Clause 7.4.3 (Avoidance of a build up of electrostatic charge for Group III) as appropriate.
All cable entries into the equipment shall be made via cable glands which provided a minimum degree of protection of IP5X
Certification label information
The certification information label is fitted to the side of the Pageant
Operator Display. It shows the model number, certification information and
BEKA associates address and year of manufacture together with the serial

INSTALLATION
BA3101 location
The BA3101 Pageant Operator Display has a 316 stainless steel front panel
surrounding the backlit display which is protected by a 4mm thick toughened
glass window. The front of the Operator Display has IP66 protection and a
silicone moulded gasket provides an IP66 seal to the instrument panel. The
rear of the BA3101 Pageant Operator Display has IP20 protection. The BA3101
may be installed in any panel providing the environmental and safety limits
shown in the specification are not exceeded. Although the front of the
Operator Display has IP66 protection, it should be shielded from continuous
direct sunlight and severe weather conditions. Fig 2 shows the overall
dimensions of the BA3101 including the plug-in modules and the panel cut-out
dimensions.
BA3102 location
The BA3102 Pageant Operator Display has a 316 stainless steel front panel
surrounding the backlit display which is protected by a scratch resistant 4mm
thick polycarbonate window. The front of the Operator Display has certified
impact and IP66 ingress protection which allows the BA3102 to be installed in
a certified Ex e or Ex t enclosure without invalidating the enclosure’s
component certification. The rear of the BA3102 has IP20 protection. Fig 2
shows the overall dimensions of the BA3102 including the plug-in modules and
the panel cut-out dimensions.
BA3101 Operator Display Installation Procedure
- Cut the aperture specified in Fig 2 in the panel and ensure that all edges are de-burred.
- First ensure that all eight panel mounting clamps are closed by turning the knurled screws fully anticlockwise until the two pips in the clamp foot align with holes in the clamp body as shown in Fig 3.
- Ensure that the panel sealing gasket is correctly positioned before inserting the Operator Display into the panel aperture.
- Place a clamp in the recess on each side of the Operator Display, pulling gently to slide it onto the dovetail as shown in Fig 3. Push the knurled screw slightly forward to engage the thread and tighten by turning clockwise until it is just finger tight. When both clamps are fitted ensure that the gasket behind the front panel bezel remains correctly positioned before fitting the remaining panel mounting clamps. Finally, fully tighten all the panel clamps to secure the instrument. The maximum recommended clamp tightening torque is 25cNm (2.2 lbf in) which is approximately equivalent to finger-tight plus one half turn. Do not over tighten.
PLUG-IN MODULES
Pageant Operator Displays can accommodate one plug-in CPU module in the right
hand socket, marked ‘C’ and up to seven plug-in input or output modules in the
remaining sockets marked 1 to 7 as shown in Fig 1. Modules have keyed plugs
and sockets which ensure that an input or output module can not be fitted in
the ‘C’ socket and a CPU module can not be fitted in sockets marked 1 to 7.
All Operator Displays must be fitted with a plug-in CPU module which contains
the central processing unit and memory. It also distributes power to the
display and to all of the plug-in input and output modules from a BEKA Power
Isolator located in the safe area or in Zone 2. Some CPU modules also include
an external communication port.
Input and output modules may be fitted in any of the seven sockets most
convenient for field wiring, they do not have to be installed in a specific
position or order, but their position does have to be entered in the
application software.
Installing a plug-in module
All Pageant plug-in modules are installed in the same way and may be fitted
before or after the Operator Display is mounted in a panel or cubicle. The
Operator Display should not be powered while a plug-in module is being
inserted or removed. For a hazardous area installation plug-in modules must be
manufactured by BEKA and have certification that specifies that they shall be
used as part of a BEKA Pageant system.
FIELD WIRING
- All field connections to the Operator Displays are made via the removable terminals on the plug-in modules which are described in the instructions supplied with each module. Apart from the earth stud, there are no direct field connections to the Pageant Operator Display.
- The M4 earth stud is located on the right hand side at the rear of the Operator Display as shown in Fig 1. It should be connected to earth and to the metallic structure of the enclosure in which the Pageant Operator Display is mounted.
- To simplify installation, all module field wiring terminals are removable by gently pulling. Wiring should be supported to prevent damage to the connectors, particularly in installations subject to vibration.
ACCESSORIES
Tag number
The Pageant Operator Display can be identified by a tag number or application
information thermally printed on a self-adhesive label fitted to the side of
the instrument.
MAINTENANCE
- Operator Displays should be regularly inspected to ensure that they have not been damaged. The frequency of inspections depends upon the environmental conditions.
- No attempt should be made to repair a faulty Pageant Operator Display. Suspect Operator Displays should be returned to BEKA associates or your local BEKA agent.
GUARANTEE
Operator Displays which fail within the guarantee period should be returned to BEKA associates or your local BEKA agent. It is helpful if a brief description of the fault symptom(s) is provided.
