Press to increase / decrease the analog output
by 100, 10 or 1 counts.
Continue adjustments until the voltage measured
at the output of the analyzer and/or the input of
the recording device matches the value in the
upper right hand corner of the display to the
tolerance listed in Table 6-20.
The concentration display will not change. Only
the voltage reading of your voltmeter will change.

6.13.4.4. Current Loop Output Adjustment
A current loop option is available and can be installed as a retrofit for each of the analog outputs of the
analyzer (s 5.2). This option converts the DC voltage analog output to a current signal with 0-20 mA
output current. The outputs can be scaled to any set of limits within that 0-20 mA range. However, most
current loop applications call for either 2-20 mA or 4-20 mA range. All current loop outputs have a +5%
over-range. Ranges with the lower limit set to more than 1 mA (e.g., 2-20 or 4-20 mA) also have a -5%
under-range.
To switch an analog output from voltage to current loop after installing the current output printed circuit
assembly, follow the instructions in Section 6.13.4.4 and select CURR from the list of options on the
RANGE menu.
Adjusting the signal zero and span values of the current loop output is done by raising or lowering the
voltage of the respective analog output. This proportionally raises or lowers the current produced by the
current loop option.
Similar to the voltage calibration, the software allows this current adjustment to be made in 100, 10 or 1
count increments. Since the exact current increment per voltage count varies from output to output and
from instrument to instrument, you will need to measure the change in the current with a current meter
placed in series with the output circuit (Figure 6-16).
