How do I configure the values corresponding to the 4-20 mA output?

Answer: The 4‑20 mA output is mapped from the level reading, so the two things to set first are the installation height and the 4 mA / 20 mA endpoints.

Step 1 — set the installation height

It is the vertical distance from the water bottom to the radar hemisphere. The instrument then derives water depth automatically:

Water Depth = Installation Height – Empty Distance

Alternatively, input the current water depth and the instrument derives the installation height: Installation Height = Water Depth + Empty Distance. Only one of the two needs to be configured, and the installation height cannot exceed the radar’s full measuring range.

Step 2 — set the 4 mA / 20 mA endpoints

Map them to the level values you want at the bottom and top of the loop, for example 4 mA = empty tank and 20 mA = full tank.

Step 3 — calibrate the current

Run Bluetooth – 4‑20 mA Output Calibration – Current Calibration with the actual receiving device connected. Installation height is at Upper Computer – Installation Height or Bluetooth – Water Level Configuration – Installation Height.

Note: internal resistance varies between third-party display meters and PLC analogue inputs, so always perform an on-site current calibration matched to the real receiver — otherwise the loop can read correctly at one end and drift at the other.
