4-20mA Output Wiring: Loop Power Provided by F-5500
Bring the 4-20mA wiring in through either conduit hub. Connect the 4-20mA as
shown in the diagram below.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
• When using a 12 volt power supply, the load resistor on the 4-20mA
output must be 125 ohms or less to operate properly.
• When using 24 volt power, the load resistor is typically 250 ohms. A 250
ohm resistor in the 4-20mA circuit will result in a 1 to 5 volt signal to the
PLC or DCS.
• When using a 24 volt power supply, the load resistor on the 4-20mA
output must be 600 ohms or less.
• Some PLC and DCS equipment have built in load resistors, please refer to
the technical manuals of such equipment.
