Connecting Inputs
The 10-pin universal input connector assignments are summarized in
Table 1
.
Table 2
provides detail for
the specific types of sensors supported. All sensor selections are firmware-controlled (see
) and no jumper settings are required when switching from one type of sensor
to another.
Figure 5
provides more detail for connecting RTD sensors.
Figure 6
shows the connection
scheme for process current input with either internal or external excitation.
Figure 7
shows the
connections for Single Ended and Differential input voltages.

*For Remote Setpoint with an RTD, Pin 1 on the Output Connector must be used for the RtN instead of Pin 1 on the
Input Connector. Remote Setpoint is not available if using an RTD sensor and have an SPDT (Type 3) Output
installed.
** Requires external connection to pin 4
