2.6.2 4-20 mA Output Connections
The standard PanaFlow meter has a single 4-20 mA loop. Two additional loops are available on the optional
communication board. The 4-20 mA loop current is controlled by the meter electronics. The electronics must be wired
in series with the sensor resistor or current meter (see Figure 31, Figure 32 or Figure 33 below). The current control
electronics requires
12 volts at the input terminals to operate correctly.
