5-5-2. External output operation 

4 – 20 mA transmission 
(1) Signal transmission method 

: Electric current transmission (non-isolated) 

(2) Transmission path 

: CVVS 2c 1.25 sq 

(3) Transmission distance 

: 500 m or less 

(4) Connection load resistance 

: 300 

Ω

 or less 

(5) Status signal level 

1. Detection mode 

: 4.0 - 20.0 mA (depends on the gas concentration) 

2. Initial clear 

: 17.4 mA 

3. Maintenance mode 

: 17.4 mA 

4. External output test 

: 4.0 - 20.0 mA (varies with the test value) 

5. Fault state 

: 21.5 mA or more 

6. Power off 

: 0.0 mA 

 
The following figure shows the relation between "gas concentration" and "external output". 

     

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

   

 

 CAUTION 

The 4 - 20 mA output is adjusted. If readjustment for 4 – 20 mA is needed after installation, it must be 
done by a qualified service engineer.
