Sensor Wiring Notes
For safety and best controller performance,
• Sensor leads (thermocouple and RTD) should not be run in the
same conduit as power wiring.
• Twisted pair, shielded wire is recommended for sensor connections.
• False temperature readings can occur if the sensor wire is exposed
to electrical noise.
• Ungrounded thermocouples are recommended.
• Thermocouple extension wire, if required, must be the same type
as the thermocouple (i.e. if a Type K thermocouple is used, then
Type K extension wire must be used.)
• Shielded thermocouple wire, if used, must have the shield ground-
ed at one end only, preferably at the shield ground terminal on the
controller as shown in Figure 3.6.
• Three-wire RTDs are recommended for greatest accuracy.
• Standard shielded copper wire is recommended for RTD exten-
sions.
Thermocouple Inputs
It is important to observe polarity (+,-) when connecting thermocouple
leadwires. ANSI color coding for the thermocouples used with this
instrument are
Thermocouple
Type Material Polarity (+) Polarity (-)
J iron/constantan white red
K chromel/alumel yellow red
Make thermocouple wiring connections to terminals as shown in Fig-
ure 3.6.
