The combinations of a 2-wire connection with class A or class AA are not permissible,
since the lead resistance of the MIMS cable and the connection lead negates the higher
sensor accuracy.
Maximum probe length including connection cable:
■
Class B, 3-wire connection: ~ 30 m [98 ft]
■
Class A, 3-wire connection: ~ 10 m [33 ft]
■
Class AA, 3-wire connection: ~ 3 m [10 ft]
Longer probe/cable lengths should be designed with a 4-wire connection, since this
connection method has no length effect on the accuracy.
