8. Connect a calibrated ammeter to the 4 to 20 mA
output and adjust the
UP/DOWN Scroll keys
(Coarse) and LEFT/RIGHT Scroll keys 5 & 6
(fine) until the output is exactly 4.00 mA.
The DAC should indicate approximately 8000.
9. Press ENTER when done.
10. With the meter still connected to the 4 to 20 mA
output adjust the Scroll keys to obtain an output
of exactly 20.00 mA.
The DAC should indicate approximately 40000.
11. Press ENTER when done.
4-20mA Signal scaling
Note: The 4 to 20 mA can be set to represent a particular flow range. It is also possible to enter a negative figure
for the minimum output and this would enable a reverse flow to be monitored.
12. With the instrument operating in the FLOW
READING mode, press the 4-20mA function
key. This will access the
4-20mA OUTPUT
screen.
13. Select Flow at max. output and press
ENTER, then enter a value of the flow rate
that you want to associate with a 20.00 mA
output.
14. Select Flow at min. output and press
ENTER then enter a value of the flow rate that
you want to associate with a 4.00 mA output.
This could be ‘0’.
15. Select Output mA for error and enter a value (max of about 26 mA) that you want the 4 to 20 mA output
to produce in the event of an error (e.g. if the flow-rate is outside the set range).
16. Upon completion press ENTER to return to the FLOW READING screen.
