MIN
= minimum current output (4 mA)
High = programmed ow rate that produces a 20-mA output
Low = programmed ow rate that produces a 4-mA output
RATE
CURR
= ow rate

Enabling 4-20 mA Output
By default, the 4-20 mA output option is disabled. To enable this feature, perform the following steps:
1. Check the “Enable” checkbox.
2. Click on the pencil icon next to the Low Flow Rate eld to launch a data-entry window (Figure 4.30) and
enter the “low” or “zero” ow rate value that will produce a 4-mA output. Adjust the decimal position,
if necessary, using the slide bar. A ow rate less than or equal to this minimum setpoint will result in an
output of 4 mA.
3. Click on the pencil icon next to the High Flow Rate eld and enter the “high” or “full-scale” ow rate
value that will produce a 20-mA output. Adjust the decimal position, if necessary, using the slide bar. A
ow rate equal to or greater than this maximum setpoint will result in an output of 20 mA.

4-20 mA Output Testing
The MC-III software allows users to test the 4-20 mA output by entering an output current value and reading
the live value generated in response.
