Three-wire sensors are connected as shown in Figure 17. The shield, if used, is
connected to pin 1 on the left. One pair of wires connects to pins 2 and 3. The
opposite wire connects to pin 5. Pin 4 is left unconnected. Pins 2 and 5 source
current. The potential is also sensed at pins 2 and 5 while the potential at pin 3
is used to compensate for the lead resistance of wires 2 and 5. Be sure to check
that the wiring configuration for that row is set to 3 as explained above!
Two-wire sensors are connected as shown in Figure 17. The shield, if used, is
connected to pin 1 on the left. One wire connects both pins 2 and 3. The oppo
-
site wire connects to both pins 4 and 5. Be sure to check that the wiring config
-
uration for that row is set to 4 as explained above! When using two-wire
sensors the 2564 is unable to compensate for lead resistance.
11.3.3 Setting Coefficients
Once a thermistor is properly connected to the 2564, the 1560 can read out its
resistance. To display temperature accurately the 1560 must be programmed
with the characterization coefficients for the sensor. This is done using the
