50 Configuring the XM-720
4-20mA Output Parameters
Use the Alarm, Relay and 4-20 mA Output tab in the Configuration Tool to set
up the two 4-20mA output signals as well as the bargraph meter on the front
panel. The parameters are the same for each output.
In the provided configuration files, the 4-20mA output signals are configured
identically except that 4-20 mA Output A is set up to monitor Ch1 overall and
4-20 mA Output B is set up to monitor Ch2 overall. Refer to Files to Use
With Your XM-720 Monitor on page 39 for a list of the provided
configuration files.
To modify the 4-20mA parameters, follow these steps.
1. In the Configuration Tool, click the Alarm, Relay, and 4-20 mA tab.
You will see a screen similar to this.
2. Select the 4-20 mA output (A or B) that you want to modify or
configure.
3. Enter or select the desired parameters to define the characteristics of the
4-20mA output signal. This includes:
• the measurement that the 4-20mA output is tracking
IMPORTANT
Changing the 4-20mA output parameters may affect the
operation of the front panel bargraph meters. Refer
to Bargraph Meters on page 32 for more information.
This checkbox must be checked to
enable the 4-20mA output.
