Figure 13
shows
examples for isolated 4
-20 mA transmitter output connections.
Terminal connectors are labelled individually.
•
The analog outputs are isolated from each other and from the inputs. They are powered
internally to provide an active 4-20 mA output loop. The outputs can be powered
externally by connecting the positive voltage to the Ex+ terminal.

Digital Output Connections
The digital outputs can be used to drive digital inputs, alarm annunciators, or other devices
such as solid-state relays that can be driven with low voltage signals.
