EKA associates are proud to announce a second version of Pageant, their intrinsically safe Operator Display. Thanks to a certified impact resistant front panel, the new display can be mounted in an Ex e or Ex t enclosure without invalidating the certification of the enclosure. This allows the new BA3102 Display, which retains all of the original state of the art features, to be safely installed in the same cubicle or enclosure as other Zone 1 or 2 equipment.
The original and new models simplify the design and reduce the cost of providing an Operator Display, Modbus Remote Display, or a PLC in a hazardous area. Multiple variables can be displayed simultaneously, and eight touch buttons with tricolour LED annunciators accept operator inputs. Intrinsic safety Ex ia protection provides maximum safety and allows installation in almost any flammable gas or combustible dust atmosphere in any Zone.
Featuring a 7 inch backlit trans-reflective display which can be read in all lighting conditions, Pageant and each of its plug-in I/O modules, have separate apparatus certificates allowing installation in Zones 0, 1, 2, 20, 21 and 22. The IECEx, ATEX and UKCA certifications permit any combination of plug-in modules to be fitted to the display without the need for additional certification. Plug-in input and output modules for interfacing 4/20mA currents, switch contacts, proximity detectors and pulse sources are available.
Pageant employs industry standard CODESYS® runtime software which complies with IEC 61131. The software includes a wealth of features and function blocks and is supplied with a lifetime licence. CODESYS runtime software is an industry standard already installed in more than 1,500 different products worldwide. It is supported by extensive documentation, including video presentations, and will already be familiar to many users.
The display, eight programmable touch buttons and LED annunciators are mounted behind a 4mm thick toughened glass, or a scratch resistant polycarbonate window in the 316 stainless steel front panel. The front provides IP66 protection, is totally flat and easy to clean, making these Operator Displays ideal for petrochemical, pharmaceutical and distilling applications. Both Operator Displays are lightweight and dissipate less than 5W limiting enclosure heating.

ETCASE is raising the bar with a new range of universal tilt/swivel carry handles for fitting to any customer-specified metal electronic
enclosures.
These ergonomic carry handles double as desk stands. They can be adjusted in 30° increments, enabling the device to be positioned at the perfect angle for viewing and operation.
Ordering the handle kit requires the customer to specify two parts. Firstly, there is a side arm kit which includes two diecast zinc side arms and location bosses (incorporating the spring ratcheting mechanism), two snap-in moulded push-buttons, two anti-glide rubber rings (for stable positioning on the table-top) and the assembly screws. Fitting the side arms simply involves machining three holes on each side of the customer’s enclosure.
The side arm kits are offered in four standard colours: off-white (RAL 9002), anthracite (RAL 7016), light grey (RAL 7035) and black (RAL 9005). The push-buttons are supplied in a contrasting or matching colour.
Lastly, the customer just needs to specify the required length of extruded aluminium handle bar that fits between the two side arm assemblies. The dimension is simply the width of the customer’s enclosure (where the handle will be fitted) less 26 mm. METCASE will then supply the extrusion to the correct length. The handle bars are available painted in the same colours as the side arms and also in silver metallic (RAL 9006).
To order the handle bar, simply select the handle colour part number and replace the XXX at the end with the required dimension. For example: for a 350 mm wide customer enclosure, the machined bar length is 324 mm (350 mm less 26 mm). So, the part number will be M50930-324 with the bar painted in silver metallic (RAL 9006).
METCASE can supply these handle kits painted in alternative RAL colours. For special colours, the moulded push-buttons will be supplied in black (RAL 9005).
