Adding a 4-20mA Sensor

There are some additional parameters to configure with this type of sensor, including Unit of Measure and

Resolution. 4-20mA sensors can be used for monitoring a variety of conditions because the measured value

corresponds to a current level, which is configured to represent the conditions being monitored. Follow the steps

outlined below to add a 4-20mA sensor.

OR

Example shown, set values as
appropriate for your system.

4mA and 20mA Values are identified on the sensor as the sensing 'range'. It is important to know
this range before selecting the resolution. The lowermost value is equivalent to 4mA and the
uppermost value is equivalent to 20mA. See Table 11 on page 19 for available resolution values.
