Figure 42 and Figure 46 show examples of RTD input wiring (2-wire and 3-wire RTDs).  Four-wire RTD 
inputs are not available. 
 
 
 
 
 
Figure 42 – RTD Inputs 
OHMs Inputs 
Ohms inputs are wired similar to 2-wire RTD inputs.  That is, they require a current source, and thus must 
use one of the I
RTD
 current sources.  Also, two terminals are jumpered together as they are for two-wire 
RTD inputs.  
Analog channels wired for Ohms inputs differ from RTD inputs in these aspects: 
  Ohms inputs connect to variable resistance devices other than RTDs, and  
  Ohms inputs are configured in Designer Software as Ohms inputs, rather than as RTD inputs. 
Examples of wiring for resistance inputs are given in Figure 46 . 
Shield Grounding 
Shields must be grounded as described under Shield Grounding at the beginning of this section. 
   
Hazardous voltages exist at terminal blocks. 
  Using switches at field devices disconnect the field wiring from power sources before servicing. 
Failure to comply with these instructions could result in death or serious injury.
