Operation
This section gives examples of how to connect and use the
instrument. Before you start:
• Read and understand the "Safety" section.
• Do not use a damaged instrument.
Operation - RTD connections
To prevent instrument errors, make sure that the RTD
connections (A1-item [10]) are correct. In the examples
that follow 2W, 3W, and 4W identify the 2, 3, and 4 wire
connections.
Operation - Communications port connections
Use the communications port (A1 - item [9]) to attach an
IDOS Universal Measurement Module (UMM).
When you attach the cable from a UMM (Figure 7/8), the
instrument automatically changes the menus to give you
all the applicable options (Table 2/3).
Operation - Measure RTD values
To measure the temperature or resistance values of an
RTD:
1. Connect the instrument (Figure 1) and, if necessary,
adjust the Set Up (Table 1).
2. Select the RTD or Ohms input task from Select Task
(Table 2/3) and, if necessary, adjust the Settings
(Table 4).

If this symbol does not agree with the number of RTD
connections:
• Make sure that the RTD connections are correct.
• Make sure that the wires and the sensor are
serviceable.
Operation - Change the output values
When the output operation is set up (Table 5), use one of
these procedures to change the output values:
