Value for 4 mA and
20 mA
The 4mA (V0H5) and 20 mA (V0H6) values,
default values 0% and 100%, determine
the levels at which the analogue signal
range begins and ends.
Example:
4 mA = 20%,
20 mA = 80%
# Matrix Entry Remarks
1 V0H5 20 4mA value, 20 %
2 - »E« Register entry
3 V0H6 80 20 mA value, 80%
4 - »E« Register entry
Note!
• Set in calibration/linearisation units
• When V0H3 = 0, V0H5 = 0 mA value
Output on alarmThe analogue output can be set such that
it takes on distinctive values when a fault
with alarm is detected. Depending on the
setting in V1H3/V1H8, the relays may also
follow the analogue output. The entry is
made in V0H7:
• 0 = -10% of signal range
• 1 = +110% of signal range (default)
• 2 = last value is held
Example:
Output -10 % on alarm
# Matrix Entry Remarks
1 V0H7 0 -10% on alarm
2 - »E« Register entry
The current values set on an alarm are
shown in the table

Caution!
• If setting 2 is chosen, the fault recognition system on the 0/4…20 mA signal line is
effectively deactivated. Although the transmitter recognises a fault, i.e. the alarm
relay de-energises and the associated LED lights, the signal output to any follow-up
instrumentation appears to indicate a correct measured value.
