3-conductor connection of a resistance thermometer
With a 3-conductor connection to modules with 4 terminals per resistance thermometer, you
must set up a jumper between M-
and I
C
- and SE- and AGND
(see Figure).
The module compensates in this circuit for the effect of the line resistance between the module
and the resistance thermometer/resistor.
Make sure that the connected cables I
C
+ and M+ and SO and SE+ are directly connected to
the resistance thermometer.
To get an accurate measurement, make sure that the connected cables M+, I
C
+ and I
C
- and
SE+, SO and AGND are the same length and have the same cross-section.
