The BM 702 level gauge is designed solely for measuring the level, distance, volume and reflection of liquids, pastes, slurries, particulate materials and solids. The BM 702 level gauge does not form part of an overfill protection system as defined in the WHG (= German water pollution regulation).
Installation Most of the BM 702 versions are supplied in fully assembled condition. In this case, you may skip this chapter. However, if a device should be delivered in parts, or parts are subsequently replaced, the following should be noted.
Mechanical installation Hazardous-duty systems: • The BM 702 Ex is certified in conformity with European Standard for use in Zone 0, 1 and 2 hazardous locations (dependent on version). • Attention is drawn to the data and information given on the nameplate of the converter, the nameplate of the flange and the specifications in the approval certificates.

Tighten down stud bolt nuts firmly. The tightening torque is dependent upon the strength properties of the stud C* = shielding strip B = BM 702 flange bolts and the pressure rating of the S* = strap retainer F = tank flange...
The 4-20 mA supply must be able to provide the following voltage U at the terminals of the BM 702 – dependent on the current I. Please consider also the line resistance and possible loads on the secondary side of the supply unit.
Adapter ≥ 120 Ω With the program PC-CAT, version 3.01 or higher, you can configurate BM 702 instruments in a very comfortable way from a PC. Connect the non-intrinsically safe side of the isolation amplifier over a load between 120 Ω and 350 Ω to the Smart adapter (delivered together with PC-CAT) and connect it with a serial port of the PC.

This example was written for the case: current output = level (default). For distance measurement the points 0% (short distance = high level) and 100% (large distance = low level) are exchanged If no reliable measurement is possible „NO ACCESS“ is displayed.

The bottom reference point is that “point“ in the tank on which the microwaves of the BM 702 hit and from which they are reflected. This may be the tank bottom (symmetrical tank with flat bottom) or the non-horizontal part of the bottom (e.g.

Empty-tank spectrum To enable the BM 702 to identify and blank out interference signals, e.g. caused by fixed and moving tank internals, the tank profile (empty-tank spectrum) needs to be recorded once only prior to (initial) start-up. For recording, the tank should be completely empty and all moving parts (e.g.

Fct. 3.5.1. Conversion table/Volume table A table consisting of a maximum of 50 points can be stored in the BM 702 for non-linear or linear conversion of the level, e.g. into a volumetric value. This table, however, can only be programmed with the PC-CAT program (Fct.

Maintenance, error handling Replacement of the signal converter Before commencing, note the parameters of the BM 702 and switch off the power supply! Disconnect all cables from the terminals in the terminal compartment. Remove the 4 Allen screws M (Allen key size 5 mm) and lift off the signal converter.
