Resistance sensors
The resistance sensors may be connected to the RTD/analog input according to
either the three-wire or the two-wire connection principle. With the three-wire
measuring principle, the wire resistance is automatically compensated. The resistor,
or RTD sensor, is connected across the IN+ and IN- inputs, and the - side of the
resistor/RTD sensor is connected to the GND input. The leads connected to the IN+
and GND inputs must be of the same type.

With the two-wire principle, the IN- and GND terminals are linked together. The
resistor is connected across the IN+ and IN- inputs.
