W
ithout interrupting the measurement you can tap a 4 … 20 mA test
signal via the plug and test terminal. By simply switching the bridges,
you can lower the min. supply voltage of the measuring instrument.
T
hrough this it also possible to operate the instrument with a weaker
voltage source. To keep the measurement error below 0.1 %, the
current meter should show an inner resistance of < 0.7 Ω. Take note of
the bridge position according to the following illustrations.
