4-20mA can be set using “DC Output” button but it is unbelievably complicated to do so. It would be much, much easier to have end user change scaling in SCADA or equivalent. Never use “Test Mode” pull down menu!!!!! Always exit “DC Output” menu before testing mA output. Changes are not saved until after exit.
