The status output OUT3 is specified for sending the FAULTY STATE information, whereas
the faulty state is one of the two states:
This failure output is active and it is implemented identically as OUT1/OUT2, on connector
pin 5.
Note: - The failure status is indicated by open outputs!
The current output is also active. The positive output of the current loop is connected to 5.
The loop resistance must not be higher than 600Ω. As standard, it is set in such a way that
with the maximum flow Q
loop current is 4mA. The current value is directly proportional to that of the flow in the
sample.
The flow limits of the current output are arbitrarily adjustable by the manufacturer during
production (float data type) by means of the service communication interface.
In case of a failure or due to the loss of power, the current output falls under 4mA (usually to
3mA) and thereby a higher-level system can detect the error state.
