The procedure for setting thresholds is identical for both switching functions.

Put the gauge into operation.

Connect the + lead of a voltmeter to the threshold measurement point of the
selected switching function ("Setpoint A" Pin 3, "Setpoint B" Pin 6) and
its lead to Pin 5.

max. ø2.5

Setpoint A Pin 3
Setpoint B Pin 6

Pin 5

Using a screwdriver (max. ø2.5 mm), set the voltage of the selected
switching function (Setpoint A, B) to the desired value U

Threshold

.

On the BPG400-SR, threshold potentiometer settings

≤0.5 V are

ignored, threshold values defined via RS485 will be effective in-
stead (

→ 42).

Setting of the switching functions is now concluded.

There is no local visual indication of the statuses of the switching func-
tions. However, a functional check of the switching functions (On/Off)
can be made with one of the following methods:

• Reading the status via fieldbus interface → [1] for BPG400-SD,

→ [2] for BPG400-SP, → 41 for BPG400-SR.

• Measurement of the relay contacts at the sensor cable connector

with a ohmmeter/continuity checker (

→ 21).
