6.3.2 Potentiometer Measurement

Sensor to Multiplexer wiring – if panel switch is set to “4x16” mode,
up to two potentiometers may be connected to one input SET.
Excitation and ground leads may be common; signal leads must be
routed separately (Figure 13).

Multiplexer to Datalogger wiring - Signal lines from two COM
terminals are connected to two consecutive single-ended analog input
channels. One COM terminal is connected to a datalogger switched
excitation channel, and the remaining COM line connects to
datalogger ground. Up to 32 potentiometers may be measured by two
single-ended datalogger channels.

6.3.3 Four Wire Half Bridge (Measured Excitation Current)

Sensor to Multiplexer Wiring - one sensor per input SET. The panel
switch is set to “4x16” mode.

Multiplexer to Datalogger Wiring - One COM line is tied to a
datalogger excitation channel, and two COM lines to a differential
analog input. The remaining COM line is connected to the H side of a

resistor. The other

side of the resistor connects to the L side of the differential channel
and to ground (Figure 14). Up to 16 four wire half-bridges may be

ntial datalogger channels in this manner.
