Please see previous glossary entries for terms related to sinking / sourcing current.
A 4–20 mA current loop is a common instrumentation technique; in this instance, the input to [whatever this device is] is capable of sinking (i.e. absorbing, drawing) this signal current, which one assumes is coming from some other device that is the 'source' of it.

Having proper context from your customer would make it possible to arrive at a slicker wording, once one has deciphered the highly telegraphic s/t!

Note from asker:
Thank you Tony for your detailed answer. It's what I understood but I could not put it in French. I asked my customer but there's not hing to do, it is a strings list that will remain a strings list.... |
I posted an image to give you a taste of the list. |
