2. Device features
The METPOINT®BDL compact has been developed and designed by engineers who have many years of practical experience
in measuring and control technology.
The METPOINT®BDL compact caters for a range of tasks – from measurement recoding, automatic sensor detection and
display of measurements on the large colour display, alarm signal output and data storage to remote data access via web
server. An alarm message can be sent e-mail through the BEKO web server and the Ethernet connection.
All relevant information is displayed on the 3.5" colour display with an intuitive and barrier-free touch screen. The display
shows measurements, curves and limit exceedances. To trace a curve from the start of the measurement, simply follow it
with your nger.
The user-friendly setup steps and the evaluation options for measurements are two of the main advantages of the BDL over
conventional paperless screen recorders.

3. Proper use
The METPOINT® BDL compact data logger has been specically designed for the stationary measured data acquisition and
storage of analog and digital input signals; the device must not be operated in potentially explosive atmospheres.
The METPOINT®BDL compact data logger is exclusively designed and constructed for the proper application purpose that
is described herein and must only be used accordingly.
A check in order to ascertain whether or not the device is suitable for the chosen employment must be carried out by the
user. The technical data specied in data sheet are binding.
Improper handling or operation of the device outside the technical specications is not permissible. Claims for
compensation for damage caused by improper use are excluded.

8. Installation
8.1. Safety instructions
DANGER! Mains voltage
Risk of serious or even fatal injury from electric shock when coming into contact with non-insulated,
powered components.
Actions:
• For the electrical installation of the device, adhere to all applicable regulations (e.g. VDE 0100).
• All electrical work must only be carried out by authorised and *skilled technical personnel.
• For the connection of the power mains and the installation of suitable safety devices, strictly adhere to all statutory
regulations that apply at the location of installation of the METPOINT®BDL compact. The connection must be
established by suitably skilled technical personnel.
• Make sure that no parts of the measuring devices are energized and that the measuring devices cannot be connected to
the electric supply mains while maintenance work is in progress.
DANGER! Operation without earth connection!
If there is a fault but no earth connection (protective earth), conductive components might become
energised, posing a risk of serious or even fatal injury.
The device must therefore be connected to an earth conductor.
Do not use plug adapters at the power plug.
If required, have the power plug replaced by a qualied electrician.
DANGER! Operation without circuit breaker!
All components that are powered and exposed must be disconnectable by means of dedicated
external circuit breakers.
The circuit breaker must be installed in the vicinity of the device.
The circuit breaker must conform to IEC 60947-1 and IEC 60947-3.
The circuit breaker must disconnect all electrical conductors from the mains power supply.
The circuit breaker must not be installed in the power supply line.
The circuit breaker must at all times be easily accessible to operating personnel.
To disconnect the device from the power mains, pull the plug from the socket. Ensure that the power plug is clearly
identied and easily accessible by operating personnel. The plug must conform to CEE7/7.
All electrical cables carrying supply voltage or other dangerous voltage (main supply cable, alarm cable, signalling relays)
must be equipped with double or reinforced insulation (EN 61010-1). This can be achieved by using plastic-sheathed cables,
a second insulation (e.g. exible insulating tubing), or cables with reinforced insulation.
The power cables can for example be protected with exible insulating tubing. The additional exible insulating tubing must
withstand the electrical and mechanical stresses that are likely to occur in connection with the intended use
(see EN 61010-1, section 6.7.2.2.1).
*Skilled technical personnel
Skilled technical personnel are persons who, due to their professional qualication and knowledge in the eld of measuring,
control and pneumatic technology, and their knowledge of the applicable statutory regulations, guidelines and standards
are in a position to foresee potential dangers in relation to the use of the device and who are qualied to perform the tasks
described in this manual.
Special operating conditions (e.g. aggressive media) require additional knowledge.

EN Installation and operating manual
METPOINT®BDL compact 15
DANGER! Mains voltage
When wiring the power supply line, ensure that the double or reinforced insulation between the
electric circuits and the secondary circuit remains intact.
NOTICE Insulation
The additional insulation must be suitable for a test voltage of 1500 VAC. The thickness of the
insulation must be at least 0.4 mm (e.g. insulating tubing, type BI 85 from Bierther GmbH).
The additional insulation of the power cables (mains connection, alarm and signalling relays) can be implemented as follows:
1
- Terminals (plug-type connectors)
2
- Flexible insulating tubing for the power cables
3
- Connecting cable

8.1.1. Prevention of electrostatic discharge (ESD)
DANGER! Risk of damage from ESD
The device contains electronic components that might be destroyed by electrostatic discharge
(ESD). Avoid contact with persons or objects that are electrically charged. In the worst case,
components sensitive to ESD might be instantly destroyed when touched or fail after start-up.
In order to minimise or prevent possible damage from sudden electrostatic discharge, observe the
requirements of EN 61340-5-1. Do not touch electronic components while they are powered.
Basic safety precautions
In order not to cause damage when handling electronic devices, take the necessary precautions for the prevention of
electrostatic charges laid down in DIN EN 61340-5-1, IEC 63140-5, and DIN EN 100 015.
These precautions prevent electronic discharge and thus protect your equipment.
Preventive measures
When opening the housing of the METPOINT®BDL compact for maintenance or servicing, take the following protective
measures:
• Stand on an earthed ESD mat
• Wear a wrist strap
• Discharge tools prior to use by rubbing them over the ESD mat

8.2. Notes for installation
8.2.1. Protection class of housing (IP code)
The METPOINT®BDL compact data logger meets the requirements of protection class IP 44 according to EN 60529.
The protection class of a housing is indicated by the two-digit IP code. The rst digit indicates the protection rating with to
persons and objects), the second digit indicates the rating for protection against water ingress.
IP 44 according to EN 60529
IP International Protection
4Protection against access to hazardous parts with a wire (Ø 1.0 mm).
Protection against access to hazardous parts with foreign objects Ø ≥ 1.0 mm.
4Protection against splashing water.
Water splashing against the housing must not cause damage to the device.
DANGER! IP class
After installation, service and maintenance work, you must ensure that the data logger meets again
the requirements of the above protection class.
When performing work on the METPOINT®BDL compact, observe the following:
• Use only original seals. Ensure that all seals are clean and free of defects. Replace defective seals.
• Ensure that the electrical cables are not damaged.
• All cables must meet the relevant standards and regulations.
• Replace defective electrical cables without delay.
• The cable leading to the measuring device must be installed in a loop to prevent water ingress into the housing.
• Tighten all cable ducts.
• Terminals and ducts that are not used must be sealed with dummy plugs.
