It is now even easier to use BEKA intrinsically safe Serial Text Displays thanks to the new BA201 Communications Isolator. This dedicated interface provides certified galvanic isolation for power and signals, plus conversion of the safe area serial data into the two or three wire communications signalling required by BEKA serial text displays.

The BA201 communications isolator has isolated RS232 and RS485 safe area ports allowing multi-drop systems to be constructed; depending upon the wiring configuration up to four BA484D or BA488C serial text displays may be connected to each isolator.

No isolator configuration is required, the BA201 automatically operates at all serial text

display communication rates and may be powered from any 20 to 35V dc supply.

The BA201 is DIN rail mounting and has four green LEDs to indicate status. It has

ATEX and IECEx [Ex ia] IIC certification plus FM and CFM intrinsic safety associated

apparatus approval.
