4-20 mA Range
The interval between 0% and 100% is equally divided by four, and the 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%,
and 100% values are output.
With the default settings, you can change the output between 4 mA, 8 mA, 12 mA, 16 mA, and
20 mA in 4 mA steps by pressing the UP or DOWN key. This is convenient when calibrating
the five points from 4 to 20 mA.
Square Root Output Function (
4-20 mA√)
Values corresponding to the square root of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% values are
generated. You can change the output using the UP or DOWN key. This can be used as
calibration signals for the square root output of differential pressure transmitters.

Simulate (20 mA Simulate) Function
You can connect this instrument to a distributor and simulate a two-wire transmitter. This is
valid when the range is set to 4-20 mA Simulate.
