Figure 2.5 shows how to connect 4-wire sensors to the remote
termination panel. A 4-wire sensor has two pairs of leads; one pair
for each resistor junction. One wire of the four is not used (it does
not matter which one). This leaves three wires – one pair and one
single wire. You must connect the single wire to the terminal marked
“O_”. You connect the remaining pair of wires to terminals “I_” and
“R_”. It doesn’t matter which wire of the pair connects to terminal
“I_” and which wire connects to terminal “R_” so long as all three
wires are the same AWG gauge.
