Milliamp output testing
15.2 Milliamp output testing
Connect a reference device such as a digital multimeter (DMM) to the
transmitter terminals listed in
Table 15-1
, then perform the milliamp
output test procedure as described below.
If HART over Bell 202 is being used, and the output being trimmed is the
primary milliamp (mA) output, before performing the milliamp output test
procedure:
• Connect a 600 ohm resistor in series to the mA output terminals of
an IFT9701 or IFT9703.
• Connect a 250-1000 ohm resistor in series to the primary mA output
terminals of an RFT9739, RFT9712, or RFT9729.

Performing milliamp
output test
To perform a milliamp output test:
1. Open the Test menu, then choose Milliamp Output Test. When
connected to an RFT9739, the ProLink menu bar displays a
cascading menu, allowing the user to choose the primary output
(milliamp output 1) or secondary output (milliamp output 2) for
testing. The dialog box shown in
Figure 15-1
then appears.
2. Enter the desired output level, in milliamps, into the Set Output To
text box.
• For an RFT9739, enter any current level from 0 to 22 mA if the
output produces a 0-20 mA current, or 2 to 22 mA if the output
produces a 4-20 mA current
• For an IFT9701, IFT9703, RFT9712, or RFT9729, enter any
current level from 2 to 22 mA
3. Choose Set, then check the readout from the reference device. It
should indicate the same amount of current as the amount entered
into the Set Output To text box in step 2.
If you choose Cancel before selecting Done, or if communication
between the ProLink program and the transmitter is interrupted before
the procedure is completed, Analog 1 Fixed or Analog 2 Fixed remains
ON in the Status window. To read the Status window, open the View
menu, then select Transmitter Status. To clear the alarm, reopen the Test
Dialog box and select Done.
