1) Dual input cannot be used in combination with current loops. Due to the design of the input circuit,
only one indicator can be used per output in this configuration. If multiple indicators are needed on the
same output, please use the voltage versions.
Please notice that not all options can be selected for the same indicator, and that some options may
exclude others.
