Wiring Considerations
Follow the guidelines below when planning your system wiring.
Since the operating principle of the RTD module is based on the measurement
of resistance, take special care in selecting your input cable. For 2-wire or
3-wire configuration, select a cable that has a consistent impedance throughout
its entire length.
ATTENTION
!!!!
Disconnect power to the SLC before attempting to install,
remove, or wire the removable terminal wiring block. To
avoid cracking the removable terminal block, alternate the
removal of the terminal block release screws.
