Model 1500 Transmitters with the Filling and Dosing Application
Optional Transmitter Configuration
For the effect of flow direction on the mA output:
• See Figure 6-1 if the 4 mA value of the mA output is set to 0.
• See Figure 6-2 if the 4 mA value of the mA output is set to a negative value.
For a discussion of these figures, see the examples following the figures.
For the effect of flow direction on totalizers and flow values reported via digital communication,
see Table 6-3.
