The 4–20 mA option provides a current loop for controlling external devices
such as a chart recorder or PC. Either one or both of the 4–20 mA outputs can
be factory installed and are isolated from each other.
The interface has a 3-ft cable with a connector on one end, and a 10-ft cable
with two open wire leads on the other. Insert the connector into the sampler
receptacle labeled "Auxiliary", located on the left side of the control housing.
On the 10-ft cable, the wire with clear insulation is positive (+) and the wire
with black insulation is negative (-).
