BE58 Series Explosion Proof BASO®
Remote Automatic Shutoff Gas Valve
A new product to meet the rugged elements
of the environment.
Application
The BE58 Series remote valve provides safe lighting
and complete shutoff of main burner gas. The remote
solenoid valve is designed to operate intermittently to
open the valve once the catalytic reaction creates
enough heat to keep the valve open. This BE58
remote valve eliminates having a person from having
to manually hold the reset button down during the
catalytic reaction waiting for the heat transfer through
the thermocouple to hold the valve open.
When the thermocouple is extinguished and power is
removed from the solenoid, the valve will completely
shutoff.
Typical applications are catalytic heaters where
remote locations or in buildings where valves are
difficult to get to for re-ignition.
Installation
The BE58 remote valve is supplied with a conduit
connector 1/2 NPT and three wires with stripped ends.
The green wire is the earth ground connection wire.
The two black wires are non-polarity sensitive line and
neutral connections.
!
WARNING: Risk of Explosion or Fire.
To prevent ignition of hazardous atmospheres,
conduit runs must have a sealing fitting connected
within 18 inches of the enclosure. “Only required if
the device is marked for Class I, Division I.”
IMPORTANT: Only qualified personnel should
install or service BASO® Gas Products products.
These instructions are a guide for such personnel.
Carefully follow all instructions in this document and
all instructions for the appliance.
IMPORTANT: Make all gas installation in
accordance with applicable local, national, and
regional regulations.
!
CAUTION: Risk of Electric Shock.
Disconnect power supply before making electrical
connections to avoid electric shock.
!
WARNING: Risk of Explosion or Fire.
Shut off the gas supply at the main manual shutoff
valve before installing or servicing. Failure to shut off
the gas supply can result in the release of gas during
installation or servicing, which can lead to an
explosion or fire, and may result in severe personal
injury or death. Coil is not designed for continuous
duty. If the coil is left on, with the gas connected and
left on, this can lead to an explosion or fire, and may
result in severe personal injury or death
IMPORTANT: Verify that the valve is installed
only in applications where the specified maximum
ambient (surface) temperature and maximum
operating pressures do not exceed the limits in the
Technical Specifications section.
To install the BE58 valve:
1. Shut off power to the appliance.
2. Shut off the gas at the main manual shutoff valve.
3. Label each wire with the correct terminal
designation prior to disconnection.
4. Verify the voltage on the valve label to the power
source voltage to ensure the correct unit is being
installed.
5. Ensure that the gas flows through the valve body
in the direction indicated by the arrow
or “IN”
on the valve body. If the valve is installed with the
gas flow in the opposite direction of the arrow
or “IN”, leakage can occur.
