Analog output applications
You can use an analog output to send a signal to an analog-controlled valve to modify
a water pipe’s valve position in order to change the flow rate.
For analog output operation, your meter takes an input value and scales it to the
appropriate signal value to send out the physical analog output port.
Your meter’s analog I/O option modules can output either low voltage or current using
standard analog transducers such as 4 - 20 mA current transducers.

Analog output behavior
Your meter’s analog output, once configured, outputs voltage or current signals. If your
meter’s analog output source becomes unavailable (N/A) the analog output level
should go to zero (0 V / 0 mA) under most conditions.
When your meter is powered off or configured to send voltage, the meter registers as a
high impedance.
The electrical signal on the analog output is DC; make sure proper polarity is observed
when wiring external devices to the analog output ports.
An unexpected change of state of the analog outputs can result when the supply
power to the meter is interrupted, during an upgrade of the meter’s firmware or
framework or option module firmware or a during an option module reset.
WARNING
UNINTENDED OPERATION
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.
Do not use this device for critical control or protection applications where human or
equipment safety relies on the operation of the control circuit.
