(all model numbers)
Terminals 8 and 11 must be shorted for a two-wire RTD. For three-wire RTDs,
the S1 lead (usually white) must be connected to terminal 10.
• Nominal excitation current: 390µA

Warning:
Use National Electric (NEC)
or other country-specific
standard wiring and safety
practices when wiring and
connecting this controller
to a power source and to
electrical sensors or periph-
eral devices. Failure to do
so may result in damage
to equipment and property,
and/or injury or loss of life.
Spring clamp wiring connector
note:
To insert the wire, push the
wire into the desired connec-
tion number, and it should
automatically lock into place.
To remove the wire, press and
hold the orange release tab
with a small screwdriver. Pull
the wire out of the connection.
Solid or tinned wire recom-
mended.
Note: To prevent ground
loops, isolation needs to be
maintained from input to out-
put when using switched DC
or analog process outputs.

WARNING: Process input
may not have sensor break
protection. Outputs can
remain full on. Check your
input settings.
