Just installed a new pH controller. New controller has 4-20mA output for data recorder. Old recorder says input sensitivity equals 1mA. Do they mean the input is 0 - 1mA? If so are there any signal converters on the market to convert 4-20mA, or 0-20mA, to 0-1mA?

P.S. The recorder is a Rustrak Model 288

ctipete,
0-1mA would be the range not the sensitivity. Sensitivity of 1mA would mean it can't distinguish between 1.1mA and 1.2mA. So it would read 1mA, 2mA, 3mA as it increments.



Best of luck
