TERMINALS #5 - #6 (mA OUTPUT SIGNAL)
Terminals #6 (I
OUT
) and # 5 (COM) provide the mA output signal during operation.
The output range (4…20mA / 0…20mA / 0…24mA) can be selected from the internal
configuration dip-switch.
Notice that, even if the selected maximum output value is 20mA, this output may be
configured to provide
24mA for ERROR recognition (SW4 at the internal dip-switch).
Refer to the relevant section in this manual for more information.
For having the signal unaffected from any interference, it is recommended to use a shielded
cable with twisted pair, properly grounded at the side of the signal receiving device.
MAXIMUM LOAD RESISTANCE (R
L
)
The output current is proportional to level height. In order to get proper and linear mA
fluctuation, a maximum load resistance R
L
(including line resistance) must not be exceeded
depending on the supply voltage ( V
PS
) of the device. Consult the following table for the
maximum load resistance you should have for each supply voltage.
