Appendix

4-20 mA current loop option

The 4-20 mA output utilizes pins 1 and 2 of connector J2. When the Model 186 is
configured for the 4-20 mA current loop option, the 0-10 VDC analog output from
connector J2 is not available. The figure below shows the wiring diagram and the
voltage requirements for the power supply and receiver.

Caution

It is extremely important to observe all polarities and to not 32 VDC
for the loop power supply in order to prevent damage to the 4-20 mA driver
circuit.
