The gauges HPG400-SD and HPG400-SP have two independent, manually adjust-
able switching functions. Each switching function has a floating normally open relay
contact. The relay contacts are accessible at the sensor cable connector (

→ 18).

The threshold values of switching functions A and B can be set within the pressure
range 1×10

-9

mbar … 100 mbar via potentiometers "SETPOINT A" and

"SETPOINT B" (voltage settings representing pressures >100 mbar can be set, but
the relay trigger point will remain at 100 mbar).

The hysteresis of the switching functions is 10% of the threshold 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.
