4-20 mA Output Parameters
The 4-20 mA output parameters define the characteristics of the 4-20 mA
output signals. The XM-361 and XM-362 support a total of six 4-20 mA
outputs. Each output is permanently associated with a corresponding channel.
The parameters are the same for each output.
IMPORTANT
If the Enable Relay Reset Switch Terminals parameter
is enabled, Channel 6 is not available for configuration, and
the Channel 6 4-20 mA output is set to a fixed (12 mA)
level. See page 24 and page 48 for details.

4-20mA Output (XM Serial
Configuration Utility only)
Sets the 4-20 mA output to be configured in the XM
Serial Configuration Utility.
Each output is associated with a
corresponding channel.
Enable Enables/disables the 4-20 mA output.
Measurement Sets the measurement value that the 4-20 mA output
will track.
Options: Value
Difference
Min Range The measured value associated with the 4 mA. Same measurement unit as
Temperature Units selection.
Max Range The measured value associated with the 20 mA.

IMPORTANT
Measured values between Min Range and Max Range are
scaled into the range from 4.0 to 20.0 to produce the
output value. The Min Range value does not have to be
less than the Max Range value. If the Min Range value is
greater than the Max Range value, then the output signal
is effectively inverted from the input signal.
