English term or phrase: 20 mA span
Displacer-type Level, Interface and Density Measurement
Transmitter displays level value in selected engineering units.
Transmitter displays % Output measurement derived from 20 mA span.
Bring liquid level at highest possible point.
Press Enter to enter manual setting mode.
Press up arrow + Enter (simultaneously) to confirm 20 mA level.
Note: in case of full span cannot be reached, adjust loop readout to current level (see at right).

escala de 20 mA.
Explanation:
Transmitter displays % Output measurement derived from 20 mA span.
La medida de la salida del transmisor se expresa como un porcentaje en una escala de 20 mA.

Ejemplos,
Si la lectura es de 10 mA significa que se trasmite el 50 % de la potencia generada.
Si la lectura es de 2 mA significa que solo se trasmite el 10%.
Obviamente no puede leerse 30mA ya que eso implica que se trasmite el 150%, es decir 50% más, lo cual es imposible. No se puede sacar más potencia de la que se le mete.

20 ma span
El tanque está lleno


Explanation:
The 4-20 mA represents the sensor's measurement span. The 4 mA set point is typically placed near the bottom of the empty tank, or the greatest measurement distance from the sensor. The 20 mA set point is typically placed near the top of the full tank, or the shortest measurement distance from the sensor. The sensor will proportionately generate a 4 mA signal when the tank is empty and a 20 mA signal when the tank is full

  -> Hi cranesfreak. I had a look at your PDF and it also has 4mA as tank empty and 20 mA as tank full. So the "span" of readings is only 16 mA. Somewhat oddly, both references call a 20 mA tank full reading a "20 mA span".

neutral  Daniel Grau: La medición a la que haces referencia no es de nivel sino de gravedad específica, donde 4 mA corresponde a un líquido no expandido (alta densidad relativa) y 20 mA al líquido expandido (baja densidad).//Perdón, es lo mismo. Ver páginas 9 y 11 de la ref.
