9.3 Examine the 4-20 mA loop

Use this procedure when the 4–20 mA current loop does not work as expected. The
manufacturer strongly recommends the use of a 4–20 mA loop isolator with galvanic
isolation to prevent ground loop issues with this instrument.

1. Disconnect the wire from the negative (–) loop terminal and from the positive (+) loop
terminal.
2. Use a hand-held multimeter to measure the current between the positive (+) loop
terminal and the negative (-) loop terminal..

29
Troubleshooting

If the expected current shows on the multimeter during the test but not on the
controller or logger during normal operation conditions, a ground loop condition may
exist.
3. Look for a shared connection to the power supply common terminal or to ground.
Rewire as needed, or use a loop isolator.
