Basic temperature sensor wiring
The ADAM 6117 analog input module supports up to eight (8) channels and several signal types and levels. Big Ass Solutions
recommends using temperature sensors that include 4–20 mA loop transmitters, as current loops are much less susceptible to induced
interference over long distances. As long as the wiring is at least 22 AWG, there are no practical wiring distance limitations for these
sensors. Excess of 5,000 ft (1,524 m) is possible. If 4–20 mA loop transmitters are not available or preferred, voltage transmitters can
also be used.
The ADAM 6117 module must be configured prior to use. For module hardware configuration and configuration utility instructions, see
page 42. Sensor wiring examples are shown below. Shielded instrument cable with drain lead is recommended.
