The gauges BCG450-SD and BCG450-SP have two independent, manually setta-
ble switching functions. Each switching function has a floating normally open relay
contact
1) . The relay contacts are accessible at the sensor cable connector
( → 20).
The threshold values of switching functions A and B can be set within the pressure
range 1×10
-9 mbar … 1000 mbar via potentiometers "SETPOINT A" and
"SETPOINT B".

The hysteresis of the switching functions is 10% of the threshold setting.
1) Both setpoint relays (SP A/B, → 20) can be reprogrammed by the user to
work as atmosphere switching function relays ( → 30 and [1] or [2])
(SP A/B = default setting).
The threshold values of the two switching functions "SETPOINT A" and
"SETPOINT B" are set locally on the potentiometers of the gauge that are acces-
sible via the openings on one side of the gauge housing.
