6.9 4-20mA Settings
The AutoDetect procedure automatically assigns the detect sensor channels to 4-20mA outputs in
the control unit (scaled 0->100 mg/m3). The 4-20mA settings function allows:
• Re-scaling of the 4-20mA outputs
• Applying filtering to the 4-20mA outputs
• Reassigning of the 4-20mA outputs (both within the control unit and from additional
Analogue Output Modules)
• Fine tuning (calibration) of the 4mA and 20mA levels of the outputs.
The MultiController has four independent 4-20mA outputs. The Interface Module has a single 4-
20mA output. These outputs can be user assigned to any sensor in the network. The outputs
have the following specification:
• Isolated outputs
• Maximum loading: 500 Ohms
• Update rate: 1 second

The four rows in the table correspond to outputs 1, 2, 3 & 4. To assign a sensor to an output,
select the group and name box then select the required sensor from the device list. The zero,
span and filter may then be changed as required:
Zero: The displayed reading corresponding to 4mA output. Factory setting is 0.000.
Span: The displayed reading corresponding to 20mA output. Factory setting is 100.
