About BF 100 configurator
The optional BF100 configurator is a software
package that you can operate the LQ500 from remote
places. Please prepare the personal computer.
Before you use the BF100 software package, you
install the BF100 software package to the personal
computer following,
OS: Microsoft Window XP Professional/ Home(SP3)
Microsoft Windows Vista
Business/Home(SP2/32bit)
Microsoft Windows 7 Professional/ Home(32bit)
CPU: To meet the requirement of the OS.
RAM: To meet the requirement of the OS.
Display: Equal to or greater than XGA.
Interface: COMM (RS232C: D-sub9pin) or
USB (USB1.1/2.0; A type)
CD-ROM drive is needed.
Language: English

The communication method between the BF100 and
LQ500 is HART protocol.
To use the BF100 needs the HART communication
cable. If you don’t have the HART communication
cable, please order the HART communication cable
(option).

Wiring when communications function is used
By connecting the cable lead of the optional BF100
configurator to the density (%TS, consistency)
measurement output, you can operate the LQ500
from remote places.
(1) Make sure the load resistance of 4-20mAdc line
of output is between 240 and 750 ohm, and the
load capacitance is 0.25µF maximum.
(2) The BF100’s cable lead can be connected to the
LQ500 anywhere along the current output line.
For example, the cable lead may be connected to
the signal terminals on the receiving side in the
control room. See Figure 9.
