4–20 mA Current Input
To use a 4–20 mA current input:
1. Connect an external 250 ohm resistor from input to ground. (Do not
install the resistor inside the FlexStat’s case since the heat generated
by the resistor may skew the temperature readings.) The resistor
converts the 4–20 mA current input to a 1–5 VDC voltage that can be
read by the thermostat’s analog-to-digital converter.
2. Set the corresponding pull-up switches to the 0–12 VDC position.
3. Using BACstage or TotalControl, congure the input device type for a
4–20 mA source.
