Note
The mA Output Function is set independently from the setting in Operation. Set Operation
first and then mA Output Function. (Operation resets mA Output Function to the same
value.)
The mA Output Function controls the primary value and the loop current for the SITRANS
LR260. Use caution when changing the mA Output function when connected to a HART
network.
mA Output Function must be set to Manual before you can modify the mA Output Value
(2.3.1.1). Remember to restore your previous setting after using mA Output Function.
8.5.41 4 mA Setpoint (2.3.1.3.)
Sets the process level corresponding to the 4 mA value. 4 mA always defaults to 0, and mA
Output Function determines whether this is a Level, Space, or Distance measurement. Level
and Space are measured as a percentage of the difference between High Calibration Point and
Low Calibration Point. Distance is measured as a percentage of the Low Calibration Point.
