The flange facing is the reference point for distance measurement (0 m / 0 ft / 0¨). The position of
the measurement scale (specified by the 0% Range and 100% Range settings) is related to this
reference point. If you configured a measurement scale for the current output signal in the C4.1
Current output 1 menu, you can use a "standard scale" or a "reversed scale". On the standard
scale, the 0% Range measurement value agrees with an output of 4 mA and the 100% Range
measurement value agrees with an output of 20 mA. On the reversed scale, the 0% Range
measurement value agrees with an output of 20 mA and the 100% Range measurement value
agrees with an output of 4 mA.
You can change the reference point from which distance is measured. Use this menu
item:
• Reference Offset (C1.10)

If you move the reference point above the flange, make sure that you add the value given in menu
item C1.10 Reference Offset when you give a distance for the C4.1.2 0% Range and C4.1.3 100%
Range settings. If you move the reference point below the flange, subtract the value given in
menu item C1.10 Reference Offset when you give a distance for the C4.1.2 0% Range and C4.1.3
100% Range settings.
CAUTION!
If C4.1.1 Current Out. 1 Var. is set to "Distance" and C4.1.2 0% Range (standard scale) is set in
the blocking distance, then the device will not be able to use the full current output range.
