4–20 mA dc % Range: Current rises linearly with concentration, from 4
mA at 0 concentration to 20 mA at full scale. (Full
scale = 100% of programmable range.)
4–20 mA dc Range ID: 8 mA = Range 1, 12 mA = Range 2, 16 mA =
Range 3, 20 mA = Range 4.

Examples:
The analog output signal has a voltage which depends on gas concen-
tration relative to the full scale of the range. To relate the signal output to the
actual concentration, it is necessary to know what range the instrument is
currently on, especially when the analyzer is in the autoranging mode.
The signal output for concentration is linear over the currently selected
analysis range. For example, if the analyzer is set on a range that was defined
as 0–10 % carbon monoxide, then the output would be as shown in
Table 2-3.
