 Converter
The contents of (*1) and (*2) described in the 
converterspecicationsarefollows.
*1:  One output can be selected from pulse, alarm, or 
status through the parameter setting.
*2:  For models without an indicator, the con-
gurationtool(Suchashandheldterminalor
FieldMate, etc.) is necessary to set or change 
parameters.
Excitation Method:
•Dualfrequencyexcitation:Size25to200mm(1to
8 in.)
Output Signals:
Current output and digital output can be carried out 
simultaneously.
Read Section 4.6.
•Currentoutput:4to20mADC,two-wiresystem 
Output range: 3.8 to 20.5 mA (–1.25 to 103.13%)
•Digitaloutput(*1): 
Transistor contact output, open collector 
Contact rating: 30 V DC, 120 mA DC

Current Output Status at System Alarms (Burnout)
Up-scale: 110%, 21.6 mA DC or more (standard)
Down-scale: –5%, 3.2 mA DC or less
Supply Voltage:
14.7 to 42 V DC for general-purpose use and explo-
sion proof type
14.7 to 32 V DC for lightning protector 
(optional code A)
Note 1:  Supply voltage means the voltage necessary to pro-
vide between the power terminals of the magnetic 
owmeter.
Note 2:  Connecting with the commercial AC power supply 
willdamagetheowmeter.BesuretousetheDC
power supply in the predetermined range.
Note3:TheADMAGAXRcanbeconnectedwithalmost
all distributors, signal conditioner cards, and I/O 
modules except certain devices.
Read the following table for Yokogawa’s devices, 
choose an appropriate connecting device and the 
corresponding length of cable.
For devices other than those in the table, decide on
