Again, the 4-20 mA transmitter that was selected by the user must be fully 
operational at voltages as low as VCC 

– 5 VDC. Again, VCC is the source voltage 

available at the user’s site, and 5 VDC represents the voltage dropped across the 
meter’s 250 OHM resistor at the maximum loop current (20 mA). 

Totalflow can provide a 12 to 24 VDC converter. This converter can be powered 
from the meter’s VBAT (either comm ports or J16). The converter’s 24 VDC output 
can then be used to power the 4-20 mA transmitter loop. In other words, VCC 
would now be 24 VDC. Subtracting the 5-volts dropped across the 250 OHM 
resister would leave 19 VDC to power the transmitter.
