RTD Inputs Various RTD configurations are used in industry; each configuration offers a
specific solution for compensating the effects of lead wire resistance. They
include 3- and 4-wire designs. The correct installation for each of these RTDs is
shown in Figures 2-6a and b on page 2-6.
If the transmitter is mounted remotely from the RTD, operation will be
satisfactory, without recalibration, for lead wire resistances of up to 2 ohms per
lead (equivalent to 200 feet of 20 AWG wire). In this case, the leads between the
RTD and transmitter should be shielded.

Explosion may result in death or serious injury. Do not
remove theinstr umentc overin explosive atmospheres
when the circuit is alive.
Highvoltage that may be present on leads can cause electrical
shock.Avoid contact with the leads and the terminals.
