17. ANALOG OUTPUT OPTION
An optional analog output board may be installed in the meter at rear panel jack position J4,
adjacent to the signal conditioner board. Once installed, this board is recognized by the meter,
which will bring up the appropriate menu items for it. These will not be brought up if an analog
output board is not installed.
The analog output can be a 0-20 mA, 4-20 mA or 0-10V unipolar signal with respect to isolated
ground, or a bipolar -10V to +10V voltage signal with respect to a reference return line. Unipolar
or bipolar operation is selected by a jumper. A unipolar current or voltage output is selected at
the connector. Unipolar 4-20 mA or 0-20 mA current is selected in software.
Unipolar current or voltage:
Jumper a
Bipolar -10 to +10 voltage:
Jumper b
The analog output is sourcing. Do not put an external voltage source in series
with it. Applying an external 24 Vdc source will burn out the analog output board.
The low analog output (0 mA, 4 mA, 0V, or -10V) may be set to correspond to any low displayed
reading An Lo. The high analog output (20 mA, 0V or 10V) may be set to correspond to any
high displayed reading An Hi. The meter will then apply a straight line fit between these two end
points to provide an analog output scaled to the meter reading.
