5-5-2. External output operation
4 – 20 mA transmission
(1) Signal transmission method
: Electric current transmission (non-isolated)
(2) Transmission path

Ω
or less
(5) Status signal level
1. Detection mode
: 4.0 - 20.0 mA (depends on the gas concentration)
2. Initial clear
: 4.0 mA
3. Maintenance mode
: 4.0 mA or lower
4. External output test
: 4.0 - 20.0 mA (varies with the test value)
5. Fault state
: 3.5 mA
6. Power off
: 0.0 mA

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.
