Figure 8-41 Configuring the analog output
You configure the analog output with this function.
With softkey 1 you define the lower value of the measuring range. The following settings
(see also table "Configurations of the analog output") are possible:
● 0 – 20 mA
● 2 – 20 mA
● 4 – 20 mA
● NAMUR/4 – 20 mA (with limiting at 3.8 mA).
You invert the analog output with softkey 2: e.g. 0 to 100 ppm THC ≡ 0 to 20 mA or 0 to
100 ppm THC ≡ 20 to 0 mA.
You suppress negative measured values with softkey 3. If negative values have an
unfavorable effect on further processing, the negative measured values at the analog output
can be limited to 0 (or 2/ 4/ 3.8 (NAMUR)) mA when this function is activated. The display
continues to show the actual measured value.
