19. ANALOG OUTPUT
The analog output option provides a 0 to 20mA and a 0 to 10Vdc linear signal derived from the
displayed reading. The low signal output and high signal output may be set to equal any
displayed value. Although both outputs are available, only one is calibrated to specifications.
The other output is accurate to +/-1% of the displayed value typical (2%max).
19. 1 4 TO 20MA OUTPUT SCALING
The output is scaled by selecting a displayed value for the low signal output and a displayed
value for the high signal output. For a current output, the low value is 0mA and the high output
is 20mA. To scale a signal for 4 to 20 mA, the following procedure must be used:
1.
Desired display value for 20mA - Desired display value for 4mA = Display span
2. Display span / 4 = Offset value
3. Desired display value for 4mA - Offset value = An Lo
4. An Hi = Desired display value for 20mA
19. 2 ANALOG OUTPUT SETUP SOFTWARE
The following menu items are accessible only with an Analog Output option installed and
appropriate lockouts enabled. See Section 9 for further information. Setup Example: 4mA to
20mA out = 5000 counts to 15000 counts (See Section 19.1).
