5.2.1 Correction of the analogue current output 

The minimum of analogue current output is 4 mA. A lower current is not possible. When calibrating, the 
zero-point current has to be set to 4,1 mA with the potentiometer “NULLPUNKT”. Now the range of the 
current output can be set to 16 mA by using the potentiometer P-03. With an adjusted range of 16 mA 
the output has to read 20,1 mA at maximum load. After adjusting the range, the zero shall be set back 
to 4,0 mA.
