1) the 0% level is defined by Empty calibration parameter (→  113)
2) The 100% level is defined by Full calibration parameter (→  114)
It may be necessary to adjust the 4mA and 20mA values to the application (especially
in the case of the Analog output adv. diagnostics 1/2 option ).
This can be done by the following parameters:
• Expert → Output → Curr.output 1 to 2 → Turn down
• Expert → Output → Curr.output 1 to 2 → 4 mA value
• Expert → Output → Curr.output 1 to 2 → 20 mA value

Description Select current range for process variable and alarm signal.
Selection • 4...20 mA
• 4...20 mA NAMUR
• 4...20 mA US
• Fixed current
Factory setting 4...20 mA NAMUR
Additional information Meaning of the options
Option Current range for process
variable
Lower alarm signal level Upper alarm signal level
4...20 mA 4 to 20.5 mA < 3.6 mA > 21.95 mA
4...20 mA NAMUR 3.8 to 20.5 mA < 3.6 mA > 21.95 mA
4...20 mA US 3.9 to 20.8 mA < 3.6 mA > 21.95 mA
Fixed current Constant current, defined in the Fixed current parameter (→  152).
• In the case of an error, the output current assumes the value defined in the Failure
mode parameter (→  152).
• If the meausred value is out of the measuring range, diagnostic message Current
output is issued.
In a HART multidrop loop only one device can use the analog current to transmit a
signal. For all other devices one must set:
• Current span = Fixed current
• Fixed current (→  152) = 4 mA
