Note:

 

Sense lines must be connected at the transducer or at the instrument for proper operation. 

J3 - Analog Connections 

 

Provides analog outputs from the meter's signal conditioning area in the form 

of ±5Vdc or ±  10 Vdc (selectable via the front panel controls) and 4-20 mA (or selectable 4-12-20 mA). 
Full scale output is referenced to the display "range" selected (5000, 10000, or 20000). I.e. If range 
10000 is selected, the analog output will be 5 Vdc or 10 Vdc, as determined by the front panel controls 
(or 20 mA FS) when in the default/home position and the display reads 10000 (irrespective of the 
decimal point).

Pin 1  

Voltage Common (- Signal out) reference for Pin 2 and Pin 3 + Signal Voltage Output. 

Pin 2  

Voltage Output Selected (+Signal out) reference to Pin 1. The Full Scale Voltage is determined by 
the position of switch 

1 -VDC

 on the Conditioner Controls. Output response is determined by the 

position of switch 

3-FIL

 and 

4- FIL 

on the Analog Controls. 

Pin 3

  

Voltage Output Fixed. (+ Signal out) reference to Pin 1. Full Scale Voltage is determined by the 
position of switch 

1-VDC

 of the Conditioner Controls. Filter response is fixed at the highest 

analog signal response of 5 KHz. 

Pin 4

  

4-20 mA Current Output Common (- Signal) reference for Pin 5 Current Output. 

Pin 5

  

4-20 mA Current Output (+Signal) reference to Pin 4 Current Output Common. The Current 
Output is selectable for 4 - 20 mA or 4-12-20 mA as determined by the position of switch 

2 -mA

 

of the Conditioner Control switch(s) on the Front Panel.
