Example: 4-Wire RTD with Kelvin R
SENSE
It is possible to cancel the parasitic lead resistance in
the sense resistors by configuring the 4-wire RTD with
a 4-wire (Kelvin connected) sense resistor. This is useful
when using a PT-10 or PT-50 with a small valued R
SENSE
or when the sense resistor is remotely located or in ap-
plications requiring extreme precision.
The 4-wire RTD channel assignments follow the general
conventions previously defined (Figures 14 and 16) for
a standard 4-wire RTD. The sense resistor follows the
convention shown in Figure 20.
