4.6.2: Current Connections
Current output requires the use of purposely
designed current input instrumentation. Current
output is more suitable for transmitting over longer
distances because current is not lost due to wiring
resistance. Additionally, with a low impedance, a
current loop is less likely to pick up noise.
The total loop resistance (resistance of measuring
equipment and wiring)
must not exceed specification.
Note:
The OD4 is not loop-powered, so a power
supply must not be used in-line with the current
output.
