15.5 Analog 4-20mA mode
In this remote operating mode the flowrate will be proportional to the external
milliamp signal input received by the pump. The Universal pump will operate at
0 rpm when 4.1mA is received and 125 rpm when 19.8mA is received.
In the Universal+ pump the relationship between the external milliamp signal and
the flowrate is determined by configuring the two points A and B as shown in the
graph below. The rate of flow can be proportional or inversely proportional to the
analogue milliamp input.
The default values stored in the pump are A (4.1mA, 0 rpm) and B (19.8mA, 125 rpm).

When the mA signal received is greater than the level defined by point A, the run
status output will be energised as the pump is running.
To select Analog 4-20mA mode:
• Select MODE.
• Using the +/- keys scroll to Analog 4-20mA and press SELECT.
The current signal being received by the pump is displayed, for information only, on
the HOME screen.
