H-3531
SDI-12 Command and Response Protocol 5-17
5.16 Extended Read/Write 4-20mA_Hi and Read/Write 4-20mA_Lo
The H-3531 FlashLite™ scales the current Stage data to drive the 4-20mA output. The 4-
20mA_Hi and 4-20mA_Lo settings control how the Stage data is processed. The 4-20mA_Lo
should be set to the desired Stage corresponding to a 4.00mA output. The 4-20mA_Hi should be
set to the desired Stage corresponding to a 20.00mA output. These settings are stored in non-
volatile EEPROM within the sensor. Once the new value is written to the EEPROM, a copy is
sent to the sensor data buffer for verification. This data can be viewed by using a subsequent
"aD0" command. To verify these settings any other time, use the “XRIH" or “XRIL” commands.
The H-3531 FlashLite™ comes from the factory with the 4-20mA_Hi = 34.6 feet and 4-20mA_Lo
= 0.0 feet.(0-15 psi sensor range)
