NOTE:
Long lead lengths create electrical resistance. There will be a S 1° approximate
input error for every 1ohm of lead length resistance when using a two wire RTD.
That resistance, when added to the resistance of the RTD element, can result in
erroneous input to the instrument. To overcome this problem, use a three wire
RTD sensor, which compensates for lead length resistance. When extension wire
is used for a three wire RTD, all three extension wires must have the same
electrical resistance. (i.e. same gauge, copper stranded).
