Using Completion Resistors

The T24-ACMm has the option for users to add up to three completion resistors, these can be used to enable the
T24-ACMm to accept half and quarter bridge strain input when a strain transmitter module is fitted. The three
completion resistors are located as shown below:
If using a half bridge only R1 and R2 need to be fitted, we recommend low drift precision resistors to ensure
reading stability typically 0.1% 5ppm/
same resistance as the single gauge being used in the quarter bridge. The diagram below shows how you should
wire for full, half and quarter bridge configurations.
