Connecting Passive Resistive Sensors
The analog inputs in the FX16 Master Controller accept linear resistive
signals as Resistive 2k ohm configuration. The Analog Input software
can also linearize signals provided by the most common sensors such as
Ni1000, Pt1000 (HT-9006), NTC 2k2 (RS-1143), NTC 10k (TM2141),
and A99 (A99BB).
You must configure the inputs to accept the appropriate resistive sensor
by the application software resident in the FX16 Master Controller. You
must also open the AI Jumpers to accept resistance input (factory
default setting). Figure 44 shows an A99 wiring diagram. You can
connect any resistive sensor the same way.

numbers.
IMPORTANT: The two resistive sensor leads are the same, in that they have
no polarity; therefore it is not necessary to respect any specific order when
connecting to the terminal block.
