Setting the parameters
Setting parameters via program PC-CAT
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.
The used isolation amplifier must be HART compatible.
Local display (optional)
(1) Numeric display, measured
values
(2) Alphanumeric display,
function/unit
(3) 6 Markers to display
measurement status
(4) 4 keys for configuration and
error interrogation

Function of keys (only together with local display)
Operator control can be carried out with the aid of local display unit after opening the housing. However, a
particularly convenient form of parameter setting is offered by the PC program PC-CAT (special accessories, see
above).
→ (cursor key) - selects the configuration menu,
- branches the menu to the next lower level,
- shifts the cursor* to the next column on the right.
↑ resp. ↓ (select key) - branches the menu to the next digit on the same
level,
- changes the content (digit, text character) at the
cursor* position.
↵ (ENTER key) - branches the menu to the next higher level,
- stores newly entered parameters,
- executes displayed functions,
- selects special functions (e.g. error memory,
see Sect. 5).
* The cursor position is signalled by flashing of the character at the appropriate place.
Meaning of status markers (only for version with local display)
The 6 markers θ x below the local display only show information about the status of measurement and are no error displays!
θ1: No current measured value: The device is searching for a new value. If the
search for a plausible level fails for a certain time, "SIGNAL DOWN" appears as
error display.
θ 2: Signal too strong: Mean of reflected microwaves is very high. Gain is automa-tically stepped down.
θ 3: Poor spectrum: Brief showing of this marker has no significance. If permanently
on, this may result in uncertain (incorrect) measured values or the error message
"NO M.VALUE".
θ 4: No measured value as yet: Evaluable measured values not available after the
device has been started up. Measured value automatically set to the level of the
tank bottom. This marker disappears when the first valid measured value is
obtained.
θ 5: Tank bottom: In tanks with dished bottom, for example, the measuring signal can
"disappear" if measurements are carried out near the bottom. The measured value
is then automatically set to the level of the tank bottom.
θ 6: Measurement frozen: Device is in the block distance detection (see below).

Simply scaling the current output
1) Drain the tank completely to the 0% marking (= 4 mA) 1).
2) Press the lower keys (↵ und ↓) down, until the asterisks on the display
„TANKHEIGHT|********“ are replaced by the actual measured distance
value 2).
3) Then release and press ↵. In the lower line: „SURE NO?“ is displayed.
4) If this value is not plausible or the tank is not empty, abort by ↵. Or accept the value by pressing ↑ (“SURE
YES?”) and then ↵.
5) Now the tank height is set.
6) In the next step you can also enter this value as 4 mA scaling (0%). Press ↵. In the lower line now: „SURE
NO?“ is displayed again.
7) If this value shall not be stored, abort by ↵. Or accept this 4mA scaling by pressing ↑ (“SURE YES?”) and
then ↵.
8) Fill the tank to the 100% mark. Use the same procedure for the 100% point = 20 mA only now by pressing the
top keys
→ and ↑ 1) 2).
9) First the measured distance can be taken as block distance. After this you can enter or adjust the 20 mA point
(100%) according to the actual level.
1) 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
2) If no reliable measurement is possible „NO ACCESS“ is displayed. Abort by pressing ↵ .

Explanatory notes
Tank height
The tank height (Fct. 3.1.1) for the BM 702 is defined as the distance between the top edge of the tank
connecting flange and the bottom reference point. 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. tank with dished bottom) or an additionally
fitted plate. The BM 702 cannot measure below this point (“sump“ in the tank).
Note: When the tank is completely empty and the tank bottom provides good reflections (flat, not dished
bottom!), the tank height can also be automatically determined with the aid of Function Fct. 3.5.1 AUTO
TANKH. Before confirming, check carefully that the proposed tank height is plausible!
Block distance
The “block distance“ function (Fct. 3.1.2) defines a zone below the top reference point in which measurements
are not meant to take place. The value should be at least 10 - 20 cm greater than the length of antenna+antenna
extension, or at least 20 cm in the case of the Wave-Stick.
Signals within the block distance are suppressed; a rise in the tank filling above this limit (response threshold)
will lead to a measuring result corresponding to a distance = block distance, when Fct. 3.5.6 BD-DETECT. is
switched on.
Scaling of the current output
The scaling of the current output (Fct. 3.3.3: level 1 = 4 mA ; Fct. 3.3.4: level 2 = 20 mA) should if possible lie
within the measuring range (between bottom reference point and response threshold).
By pressing the two upper keys (→ and ↑) or the two lower keys (↵ and ↓) at the same time, the 0% setting (= 4
mA) or 100% setting (= 20 mA) can be programmed according to the actual level (see page 9).

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. agitators) switched on. If major inter-
ference through internals is not expected, recording of the empty-tank spectrum can also be dispensed with, since
the factory has already carried out and stored a partial empty spectrum of the flange system.
Empty-tank spectrum recording via display
After selecting menu item Fct. 3.5.2, press key →. The display then shows whether the empty spectrum is
currently ON or OFF. Then press the ↵ key if no change is to be made, or use the ↑ key to choose between the
following options:
• ON: the empty-tank spectrum is (again) switched on and taken into account for measurements.
• OFF: the empty-tank spectrum is not taken into account for measurements, but remains stored in the
BM 702 and can be switched on again at a later date.
• RECORD: the existing empty-tank spectrum is to be deleted and a new one recorded.
After selecting "RECORD": if other parameters had previously been changed, the query "ACCEPT YES" is first
made as to whether they are to be stored. In this case, confirm by pressing ↵. To record, use the ↑ key to select
one of the following options:
• MAX. VALUES: (only maximum values are taken into account when the empty-tank spectrum is
recorded; useful e.g. with “difficult“ agitators).
• AVERAGE: (values are averaged; this setting can be used for most applications).
After selecting with the ↑ key, press the ↵ key to select TOTAL or the ↑ key to select PARTIAL.
• When TOTAL is selected, the empty-tank spectrum is recorded over the entire range (tank height).
• If the tank has not been fully drained, the empty-tank spectrum can also be recorded up to a certain
distance, in which case the menu item PARTIAL should be selected. When this has been selected, a query
takes place by way of the ↵ key concerning the distance value up to which the empty-tank spectrum is to
be recorded. The tank area below the current filling level is then excluded from the empty-tank recording.
It is recommended to maintain a safety distance of 20 to 30 cm from the actual product distance.
Subsequently press key ↵ to start recording the empty-tank spectrum. The display starts with “200“ and counts
down to “0“. The sign WAIT... is shown in the display. READY appears after approx. 1-3 minutes. Then press
key ↵ five times to store the recorded empty-tank spectrum, which is taken into account for measurements.
Empty-tank spectrum recording via PC-CAT
Connect the BM 702 and press in the display mode of PC-CAT the key combination Ctrl-L. The type of empty-
tank spectrum can be selected by one of the following keys:
1: Max.Values 4: Max. Partial A: Break
2: Average 5: Avg. Partial
Tank bottom tracing mode (FTB)
The BM 702 includes an additional function for measuring reliably low levels in tanks with flat bottom and
poorly reflecting products (low dielectric constant). This tank bottom tracing system (abbreviated FTB) is
activated in the vicinity of the tank bottom (max. 20% level). Given higher levels, the normal measuring method
is used (reflection from the product surface).
If the measurement jumps to the correct level only after filling above a certain level (approx. 0.3-1.0 m), you can
activate the FTB function Fct. 3.5.7 „PARTIAL“. The relative permittivity εr of the tank product must be set in
Fct. 3.5.8. If it is not known, enter the figure of 2.0. Since the exact position of the tank bottom must be known
for this process, it is advisable when using the FTB to determine the tank height automatically with an empty
tank, using Fct. 3.5.1.

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. 3.7.2).

Maintenance, error handling
Replacement of the signal converter
Before commencing, note the parameters of the BM 702 and switch off the power supply!
1. Disconnect all cables from the terminals in the terminal compartment.
2. Remove the 4 Allen screws M (Allen key size 5 mm) and lift off the signal converter. The flange unit (incl.
waveguide window) will remain tight even with pressurized tanks.
Caution
On pressurized tanks, do not on any account remove the 4 screws H
connecting the waveguide window to the BM 702 flange! DANGER!
3. Fit the new BM 702 converter.
4. Reconnect all cables in the
terminal compartment, as
described in Section 3.
5. Check against the enclosed
report on settings whether the
factory-set parameters are
correct for your application. If
not, reset.
6. Record the empty spectrum,
see Section 4.
Important: Make sure that the
screw thread of the covers on the
terminal and electronic
compartments is well greased at all
times.

Returning a BM 702
The party returning a device is obligated to check and ensure that all cavities in the device are free from
dangerous substances (toxic, caustic, flammable, water-endangering), and that a certificate is enclosed with the
device confirming that it is safe to handle.
Error display during measurement (only for versions with local display)
When function 3.2.5 "ERROR. MSG." is set to YES, any error occurring during measurement is indicated in the
display and alternates with the measured value for as long as the error is present.
In addition, all errors are stored. Press the keystroke combination ↵ ↑ → → to get into the error list. You can
page through the list with key → , and acknowledge the errors at the end - if required - by "QUIT YES". Press
key ↵ twice to return to the measuring mode.
Fatal errors (FATAL ERROR), that are detected when the device is started up, render operation of the BM 702
impossible.
