Can the Cologne flowmeter be changed from 4-20mA to 5-20mA?
The 4-20mA output of the Cologne flowmeter can be changed to 5-20mA, but this is a modification of the range and usually requires the use of the flowmeters own configuration software or flushing controller to complete, which cannot be achieved through external simple wiring.. 1. Modifying feasibility is essentially changing the correspondence between the flow measurement range and the output current. For example, changing the output corresponding to 0 flow from 4mA to 5mA, and maintaining the output corresponding to full range flow at 20mA. This needs to be achieved through device configuration. • Use HART controller: If the flowmeter supports the HART protocol, it can be connected using a universal or branded controller, enter the "Analog Output Settings" menu, and modify the output lower limit value. • Parameter modification path: In the device configuration menu, usually find options such as "Analog Output", "Output Setting", or "Signal Condition" to change the Lower Range Value (LRV) from 4mA to 5mA
3. Important precautions • Device compatibility: First, confirm whether your Cologne flowmeter model (such as OPTIFLUX, Waterflux, etc.) supports software configuration for output signal types. The vast majority of intelligent electromagnetic and ultrasonic flow meters support it, but older or simplified models may not be supported. System compatibility: After modification, the range of downstream receiving devices (such as PLC, DCS, display instruments) must also be synchronously modified to 5-20mA corresponding to the flow rate, otherwise it will cause flow display and control errors. • Zero point cutoff function: Flow meters usually have

4. Alternative solution: If the flowmeter itself cannot be modified, an external signal converter/isolator can be added to convert 4-20mA input to 5-20mA output. This is a hardware solution that does not require the use of the flow meter itself.
