6.5 Current consumption
6.5.1 FMX21 + Pt100 (optional)
• Max. current consumption: ≤ 23 mA
Min. current consumption: ≥ 3.6 mA
• Pt100: ≤ 0.6 mA
6.5.2 TMT182 temperature head transmitter (optional)
• Max. current consumption: ≤ 23 mA
• Min. current consumption: ≥ 3.5 mA
• Pt100 via temperature head transmitter: ≤ 0.6 mA
6.6 Maximum load
The maximum load resistance depends on the supply voltage (U) and must be determined
individually for each current loop, see formula and diagrams for FMX21 and temperature
head transmitter.
The total resistance resulting from the resistances of the connected devices, the
connecting cable and, where applicable, the resistance of the extension cable may not
exceed the load resistance value.

• When using the measuring device in a hazardous area, the relevant national
standards and regulations as well as the Safety Instructions or installation or control
drawings (XA) must be adhered to.
• When operating via a handheld terminal or via a PC with an operating program, a
minimum communication resistance of 250 Ω must be taken into account.
