Startup and Basic Operation
Resistance Measurement
Resistance measurement terminals are located in the ET module.

Funct/Port ET: R(meas)
The following picture displays the active
terminals:
The two leftmost terminals are used in 2-
wire systems. MC5-IS automatically checks
the connection and displays the found wir-
ing system (2-wire, 3-wire or 4-wire) in the
measuring window. For more information
concerning wiring options, see Resistance
and RTD Measurement, Connections on
page 95.
Note.
If the measured resistance value is infinite or very high (> 4000 ohm),
the text “+OVER” is displayed in the measuring window. This means
that the circuit is broken or the connection is wrong. Wrong connec-
tion may also cause erroneous reading, typically too low. If neces-
sary, use the 2-wire ohm measurement to check the wiring before
final connection.
