1
)

Analog current output
2, 3
0.0 to 20.0 mA (Non-isolated source or sink, user selectable)
0.0 mA (<0.6 mA) = Fault
2.0 mA (±0.6 mA) = Dirty window 
4.0 mA (±0.6 mA) = Normal, safe (no fault, no fire)
8.0 mA (±0.6 mA) = Background IR
12.0 mA (±0.6 mA) = Background UV
16.0 mA (±0.6 mA) = Fire alarm
20.0 mA (±0.6 mA) = Verified fire alarm
Screw terminal wire sizes 12 AWG to 22 AWG (2.50 mm to 0.762 mm; use stranded 
conductors, not solid core)

 If the “verify time” is not zero, the alarm level = 16 mA and the verify level = 20 mA. If the verify time 
is zero, alarm level = 20 mA and the verify level = 20 mA.
