INFICON recommends the replacement of the sensor as soon as the
first filament failure has been detected (replacing the sensor →  44).
The BPG402-S, SL features a "Filament status" relay contact available at the
sensor cable connector:

In automatic mode (AUTO) (default) the gauge automatically alternates between
filaments in order to age both filaments evenly. However, in manual mode (MAN),
filament selection can be commanded via the interfaces.
The filament control mode can only be changed via the interfaces
