mA Output
The device has two mA outputs used to send measurements to other devices. Below are
settings for configuring the mA output to send a 4 to 20 mA signal, scaled from 10 % to 90 %
of span, of the second transducer:

If the level reading drops below 10% of span, the mA output drops below 4 mA.
2
If the level reading rises above 90% of span, the mA output rises above 20 mA.
Calibrating 4 mA Output
1. Connect the mA receiving device to the device.
2. Put the device into Navigation View.
3. Set Milliamp Output (2.5.9.) (Page 182) to 4.0 for the selected mA output.
4. View the mA level on the receiving device.
5. If there is a discrepancy, do the following steps:
– Attach an ammeter to the device's mA output.
– Enter the exact value displayed on the ammeter into 4 mA Output Trim (2.5.11.)
(Page 183)
– The ammeter should then read exactly 4.00 mA.
The unit is now calibrated for 4 mA for the receiving device.
