Note that some under-range and over-range is built-into the unit, as the output can swing as low as 3.5Ma, and as high as 24Ma. Actual endpoint limits will vary slightly between units. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Acromag, Inc.

CAUTION: Input signal levels outside of the nominal input range of the unit will not be accepted for configuration of zero or full-scale. Since not all input levels can be validated during field programming, connecting or entering incorrect signals will produce an undesired output response. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Acromag, Inc.
