8 OPERATION
8.4.2 Current output 4 to 20 mA
Configuration
Note:
The analog output designation (QA in the example here) changes according to the
selected process variable to be output.
1. Log in to Exprt mode, see “8.2.2 Exprt mode”.
2. Define the output as temperature or level (temperature sensor depends on variant).
• Set the parameter to TEMPER or LEVELin the QA-### / QAPROC menu.
3. Set the upper limit value for the level or temperature at which 20 mA is output.
• Set the parameter in the QA-### / QAHIGH menu to level in mm or tempera-
ture in °C (e.g., 500 mm).
4. Set the lower limit value for the level or temperature at which 4 mA is output.
• Set the parameter in the QA-### / QALOW menu to level in mm or tempera-
ture in °C (e.g., 10 mm).
5. Invert the signal.
The analog signal can be inverted in the QAPOL menu.
Set the parameter to INVERT in the QA-### / QAPOL menu.
• Normal = Analog output signal as configured
• Invert = Analog output signal is inverted; QaHigh 4 mA and
QaLow 20 mA
6. Select electrical signal.
• Set the parameter in the QA-### / QATYP menu to 4 to 20 mA.
8.4.3 Voltage output 0-10 V
Configuration
Note:
The analog output designation (QA in the example here) changes according to the
selected process variable to be output.
1. Log in to Exprt mode, see “8.2.2 Exprt mode”.
2. Define the output as temperature or level (temperature sensor depends on variant).
3. Set upper limit value (10 V).
• Set the parameter in the QA-### / QAHIGH menu to level in mm or tempera-
ture in °C (e.g., 500 mm).
4. Set lower limit value (0 V).
• Set the parameter in the QA-### / QALOW menu to level in mm or tempera-
ture in °C (e.g., 10 mm).
5. Invert the signal.
The analog signal can be inverted in the QAPOL menu.
Set the parameter to INVERT in the QA-### / QAPOL menu.
• Normal = Analog output signal as configured
