It provides completion resistors for resistive bridge measurements, voltage dividers, and precision current shunts. The 4WPB100 and 4WPB1K are used to provide completion resistors for 4 wire half bridge measurements of 100 Ω and 1 kΩ platinum resistance thermometer (PRT), respectively.
Power rating: 0.25 W Completion resistor Tolerance @ 25 °C: ±0.01% Maximum temperature ±0.8 ppm/°C coefficient Power rating @ 70 °C: 0.25 W EU certificate of conformity: https://s.campbellsci.ceu/documents/eu/compliance/eudoc_ terminal-input-modules.pdf FIGURE 2-1.

It is still possible to use terminal input modules in adjacent terminal blocks if the modules are staggered. This is done by gently bending one module forward and the next terminal backward enough to clear the first module. Continue to alternate the modules as needed. 4WPB100, 4WPB1K PRT Bridge Terminal Input Modules...
Rs_R0 = Rs_R0*100/R0 where R0 is the sensor resistance at 0 °C The following examples are for a 100 Ω PRT and 4WPB100. The excitation voltages used were chosen with the assumption that the temperature would not exceed 50 °C. Calculation of...
R or R The properties of the 10 kΩ resistor do not affect the result. The purpose of this resistor in the circuit is to limit current. 4WPB100, 4WPB1K PRT Bridge Terminal Input Modules...
Small variations in sensor resistance do not cause significant differences in the calculated maximum excitation voltage. For example, changing the sensor resistance to 84 Ω when used with the 4WPB100 reduces the maximum excitation from 3579 mV to 3564 mV. 5.2 Calibrating a PRT The greatest source of error in a PRT is likely to be that the resistance at 0 °C deviates from the...

R . The correct value of the multiplier, R , is the reciprocal of this reading. For example, if the initial reading is 0.9890, the correct multiplier is: = 1/0.9890 = 1.0111. 4WPB100, 4WPB1K PRT Bridge Terminal Input Modules...
