Analog Transmission
For 4-20 mA analog visibility measurement only two wires are
needed. Do the following:
1. Connect the voltage supply either from remote or internal supply
(from +Vb = 12 V or +Vbb = 23 V) to resistor R (for example,
100 ohm).
2. Connect the signal wire to screw connector X20 pin 3 "sink" at
the CPU board. In the drawing, a remote voltage supply is used
and the return signal is wired from pin 4 "gnd". See Figure 20
below.
For more information of the analog output port functioning and
configuring, see section Analog Output Commands on page 91.

Connecting the Maintenance Terminal
Any computer equipped with a terminal emulation software or a
VT100 compatible terminal with the RS-232 serial interface can be
used as a maintenance terminal for the FD12P. The optional
maintenance cable provides a 9-pin D-connector for the computer and
a 3-pin connector for the FD12P.
