Resistance and RTD

For all channels (0 through 20), 2-terminal resistance or RTD measurements are allowed. Four-terminal measurements can be made on channels 1 through 10 only. Refer to Figure 3-3.

For each channel configured for 4-terminal measurements (channels 1-10 only), a second channel (numbered 10 higher than the first) becomes unavailable for any other type of measurement. For example, using channel 7 to make 4-terminal resistance measurements requires the use of input terminals for both channels 7 and 17. Channel 17 cannot be used to take any other measurements as long as channel 7 remains configured for 4- terminal measurements.

Use the following procedure for resistance or RTD measurement connections to the Input Module:

1.Remove the Input Module from the rear panel.

2.Loosen the two large screws on top and open the module.

3.Connect wires to H (high) and L (low) terminals for each channel (channel 7 for 2- terminal configuration or channels 7 and 17 for 4-terminal configuration, in this example.)

4.Thread these wires through the strain-relief pins and out the back of the module. Refer to Figure 3-2.

5.Close the module cover, secure the screws, and put the module back in the instrument.
