Additional Compatibility Information

Data Logger Considerations

The 4WHB10K uses two sequential differential analog inputs; the first differential channel must have an adjacent analog ground channel to accept the "ground prong" of the 4WHB10K. Not all data logger terminal strips have this sequence on all channels, so please check your data logger's wiring panel to confirm channel assignments, especially if you plan to use multiple Terminal Input Modules.

Newer CR10X Wiring Panels and the CR10XTCR Thermocouple Cover are deep enough to cover the data logger input channels with a Terminal Input Module attached; older CR10TCRs are not deep enough.

Programming

The 4WHB10K is measured either with CRBasic's BrHalf4W Instruction or Edlog's Instruction 9 (Full-Bridge with Excitation Compensation).

FAQs for

Number of FAQs related to 4WHB10K: 2

  1. If there is no manual for the 4WHB10K, where is there information about four-wire half-bridge measurements?

    For more information, refer to Figure 3-1 in the "Wiring" section of the 4WPB100, 4WPB1K PRT Bridge Terminal Input Modules Instruction Manual. 

  2. Can three-wire PT100 sensors only be used with three-wire half-bridge modules, or can they also be used with four-wire half-bridge modules?

    The 4WPB100, 4WPB1K, and 4WHB10K terminal input modules can be used instead of the 3WHB10K module. However, ensure that the jumper is installed between the ground side of the sensor and the low input of the second channel to maintain the four-wire accuracy.
