Terminal input modules connect directly to the datalogger's input terminals to provide 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 Ohm and 1 killohm Platinum Resistance Thermometer (PRT), respectively.
4WPB100, 4WPB1K PRT Bridge Terminal Input Modules Rf = 100 , 1k 0.01% FIGURE 2-1. Circuit Schematic 3. Wiring The Terminal input module is connected to the appropriate channel. The dashed lines in Figure 2-1 indicate the sensor wiring. When making 4 wire half bridge measurements, the 4WPB is connected to a differential channel and the sense leads from the PRT to the next differential channel.
When Instruction 9 is used with the first measurement range not set to the maximum input range, it becomes a four wire half bridge measurement. All the examples are for a 100 Ohm PRT in the 4WPB100. The excitation voltages used were chosen with the assumption that the temperature would not exceed 50 °C.

4WPB100, 4WPB1K PRT Bridge Terminal Input Modules The RTD Instruction (16) computes the temperature (°C) for a DIN 43760 standard PRT from the ratio of the PRT resistance at the temperature being measured (R ) to its resistance at 0°C (R ).
