3.10.1 Operation with 2 sensors
[applicable with 615 . . - . . . H - . . . ., 615 . . - . . . W - . . . . and 615 . . - . . . Z - . . . . version only]
If 2 sensor operation is enabled, changeover between the sensors is done automatically during pressure control. For
configuration refer to chapter «Setup procedure». We recommend a ratio of 10:1 between the pressure gauges. Max. ratio
is 100:1. It is required that the high range pressure gauge is connected to sensor 1 input and the low range pressure
gauge to the sensor 2 input.
Between 90 and 100% of the low range sensor full scale, the low range sensor is phased out while high range sensor is
phased in. This maintains a functional response behavior in case of small calibration errors between the two sensors. The
pressure output in this range is a blend between both sensors.
For monitoring purpose each sensor signal may be read out individually.
Note: Make sure that both sensors are calibrated.
Note: Do not close optional gauge isolation valves during the transition phase between the sensors.
