Operation
The 4-20 mA output option board provides dual channel current output linearly proportional to
the HPM 2002’s pressure reading. The first channel corresponds to the higher pressure range (0-
1024 Torr). The second channel corresponds to the lower pressure range (0-1000mTorr). The
equations below give the output currents for a given pressure:

1024 Torr). The second channel corresponds to the lower pressure range (0-1000mTorr). The
equations below give the output currents for a given pressure:
Note that for both channels, the output is always between 4mA and 20mA. Specifically, when the
pressure is below 1 Torr, channel 1 current will be approaching 4mA. Also, when the pressure is
above 1 Torr channel 2 current will be saturated at 20mA.
