Additionally A1, A2 andA3 may be equipped with optional 0-20 mA current loop
drivers. A4 is not available for the current loop option.

These are the physical limits of the current loop modules, typical applications use 2-20 or 4-20 mA for the
lower and upper limits. Please specify desired range when ordering this option. The default offset for all
ranges is 0 mA.
All of these outputs can be configured output signals representing any of the DAS
parameters available on this model (See Table A-6 of Appendix A.5 for a complete list).
The ability to select any one of the T200H/M’s 40+ DAS data types coupled with the
ability to select from a variety of signal ranges and scales makes the analog outputs of
the T200H/M extremely flexible.

4.13.4.2. Physical Range versus Analog Output Reporting Ranges
The entire measurement range of the analyzer is quite large, 0 – 5,000 ppm for the
T200H and 0-200 PPM for the T200M, but many applications use only a small part of
the analyzer’s full measurement range. This creates two performance challenges:
1. The width of the analyzer’s physical range can create data resolution problems for
most analog recording devices. For example, in an application where a T200H is
being used to measure an expected concentration of typically less than 200 ppm
NO
x
, the full scale of expected values is only 4% of the instrument’s full 5000 ppm
measurement range. Unmodified, the corresponding output signal would also be
recorded across only 4% of the range of the recording device.
The T200H/M solves this problem by allowing the user to select a scaled reporting
range for the analog outputs that only includes that portion of the physical range
relevant to the specific application. Only the reporting range of the analog outputs
is scaled, the physical range of the analyzer and the readings displayed on the front
panel remain unaltered.
2. Applications where low concentrations of NO, NO
2
and NO
x
are measured require
greater sensitivity and resolution than typically necessary for measurements of
higher concentrations.
The T200H/M solves this issue by using two hardware physical ranges that cover
