Effects of flow direction
For the effect of Flow Direction on the mA output (i.e., a flow variable has been assigned to the mA 
output):
See Figure 4-1 if the LRV is set to 0 (zero flow).
See Figure 4-2 if the LRV is set to a negative value. 
In both figures, the mA output scale is 12–20 mA. If your installation includes the Micro Motion 
adapter-barrier, adjust the y axis as follows:
URV  =  20  mA
Midpoint = 12 mA
LRV  =  4 mA
For a discussion of these figures, see the examples following the figures.
For the effect of Flow Direction on totalizers and the flow values reported via digital communications, 
see Table 4-2.
