4-wire connection technology
The RAD-PT100-4-IFS does not support the 4-wire connection technology.
• If you want to use a 4-wire sensor, only connect three of the four wires.
• The fourth wire should be left unwired. Otherwise there will be a different resistance in
the +I and -I cables owing to the parallel connection of two cable resistances.
