Backplane power alone is insufficient for field-side operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I change the output range from 4–20 mA to 0–20 mA?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes. Install a jumper on the carrier's \u003cstrong\u003eJMP1\u003c\/strong\u003e pins to switch to 0–20 mA mode.
