For proper measurement the external device should capable of providing the voltage supply. If the external device should not capable, an external Power Supply should be connected in series.
- Page 10 In RTD simulation RC-12 mimics an RTD. The instrument under test generates the current for the RTD measurement. RC-12 controls the voltage across its terminals so that the resistance (voltage to Current ratio) corresponds to the simulated temperature. Use of 2-, 3-or 4-wire connection is up to the receiver instrument.
