Figure 8 shows a voltage sensor wired to an input point.

Figure 9 shows a current sensor wired to an input point. You must set
the reference resistor switch to OUT for a current input. Then wire a
resistor across the input.

The exact number of Ohms resistance required varies based on the range
of current—while we recommend 475Ω for a 0 to 20 mA input, you can
also calculate the appropriate resistance with the following formula:
To account for the input current rising slightly above the maximum
(such as slightly over 20 mA), you should choose a value slightly below
the maximum resistance you calculate. For example, you calculate the
resistance for 0 to 20 mA:
