Connection 12. Connection to interface card or application: Most applications require 0..5V or 0..10V. Put a resistor between the interface input and ground to convert the current to voltage. To calculate the re- sistor value, divide the max. desired voltage (e.g. 5V) by 0.02. The result is the required resistor value in ohms.
