The table below outlines the expected milliamp draw range for each Baseline two-wire device type. Compare the milliamp draw estimate with the actual milliamp draw displayed at your controller. Milliamp draw below what's estimated can indicate disconnected devices or corrosion on your two-wire path. Milliamp draw above what's estimated can indicate a ground fault or shorted device on your two-wire path.
