# Analog current output (4-20mA)

## **SPEC**

### **Analog output (4-20mA)**

| **Analog output (4-20mA)** | ​                                                          |

| Power supply               | Device is self-powered, no external power supply required. |
| Maximum output range       | **4-20mA**                                                 |
| Response time              | the same as screen data.                                   |
| Loop Resistance            | 650ohm @ 24VDC                                             |

## **Cable** wiring

Please see the page of [Electrical installation.](/qr/fp-as310-paddle-wheel-flowmeter-manual-en-v1/installation-and-setup/electronic-installation.md)

## **Parameter setup**

Please refer to the [parameter set-up page.](/qr/fp-as310-paddle-wheel-flowmeter-manual-en-v1/parameters.md)

Set-up steps as below:

1. Please set up the [basic parameters](/qr/fp-as310-paddle-wheel-flowmeter-manual-en-v1/installation-and-setup/parameter-setup.md) first.
2. Connect cable first according to the cable wiring instructions on this page.
3. Set up parameter E06 for opening Analog current output function, and select the data content to be output.
4. The current range to be set up by using parameter E13 is 4-20mA.
5. Parameter E07 and E08 are for specifying maximum and minimum value to output. These 2 values can be either positive or negative, however, E07 has to be smaller than E08.
6. Use E09 to set output current milliamps when output data is out of the E07 and E08 range.
7. Please enter the E11 parameter page to test and adjust 0mA/ 4mA output current. Adjustment unit is uA.
8. Please enter the E12 parameter page to test and adjust 20mA output current. Adjustment unit is uA..
9. If the output current is too low and can not reach 20mA after modifying parameter E12, please check the 4-20mA specification on the [main screen page](/qr/fp-as310-paddle-wheel-flowmeter-manual-en-v1/user-interface/monitor-page-explanation.md) for line impedance and supply voltage requirement.
10. Use parameter F01 for setting up the flow volume value to be simulated. Turn on F02 and go back to the monitoring screen.
11. Confirm that the external device receives the signal correctly.
12. Turn off F02 and go back to the monitoring screen.
13. Finish.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.lorric.com/qr/fp-as310-paddle-wheel-flowmeter-manual-en-v1/communication/current-output.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
