Assembly and Installation
Current Source / Current Sink Operation
— The 4 to 20 mA signal output of the gas transmitter Dräger PIR 7000 / Dräger PIR 7200
can be switched both as current source (source operation) or as current sink (sink
operation). The gas transmitter detects whether the loop resistance is connected to (+) or
(–) and then automatically switches into current source operation or into current sink
operation.

NOTICE
The gas transmitter monitors the signal output current. If the loop resistance R
S
is not
present or is too high, the gas transmitter switches into fault and emits the fault signal.
