Instruction Manual

tina46e1-a (2010-03) BPG402.om 17
If the gauge is used with an INFICON VGC40x controller, a corresponding sensor
cable is required (→ [3]). The sensor cable permits supplying the gauge with
power, transmitting measurement values and gauge statuses, and making pa-
rameter settings.
Caution
Caution: data transmission errors
If the gauge is operated with the INFICON VGC40x Vacuum Gauge
Controller (RS232C) and a fieldbus interface at the same time, data
transmission errors may occur.
The gauge must not be operated with an INFICON VGC40x controller
and DeviceNet or Profibus at the same time.
• Sensor cable (→  [3]), INFICON sales literature)
 Plug the sensor connector into the gauge and secure it with the locking
screws.
 Connect the other end of the sensor cable to the INFICON controller and
secure it.
The gauge can also be operated with other controllers.
Especially the fieldbus versions BPG402-SD (DeviceNet) and BPG402-SP
(Profibus) are usually operated as part of a network, controlled by a master or bus
controller. In such cases, the control system has to be operated with the appropri-
ate software and communication protocol (→  [1], [2]).
