4.4.5Pressure units

Configuring the pressure unit is required only if pressure compensation will be implemented. See Section 9.2.

4.5Configuring the mA output

The mA output can be used either to report the mass flow or volume flow process variable or to control a valve for the filling and dosing application.

Configuring the mA output for valve control is discussed in Section 7.4.

Note: If the mA output is configured for valve control, it cannot be used to report alarm status, and the mA output will never go to fault levels.
