Current Loop (4 ... 20 mA or 0
…
5 mA)
The device is equipped with an analog current loop output, which converts the physical measurement
result into an electrical signal. The device provides a 3-wire current loop output, which operates over
the entire supply voltage range. The most common resistor in a 4
…
20 mA loop is 250 ohm; however,
depending on applied supply voltage the maximum load resistance must be considered.
