The fail safe current output signal can be selected to:
● Minimum Current (defined in the Current Mode selection)
● Maximum Current (defined in the Current Mode selection)
● Last Good Value (the last process value before the failure occurred)
● Current Value (actual measured value)
● User Defined Value (within the range of 0 mA to 25 mA
For channel 1 the range is 3.5 mA to 25 mA
