Care should be exercised when connecting to a three-wire current
transmitter. These are usually non-isolated devices between the power
source and signal output. The BAS Remote will sink current from its
input to ground so the transmitter must source current from a positive
potential to ground. If the three-wire transmitter works in this manner,
it can be accommodated.

Four-wire transmitters usually have isolation between power supply and
signal output so their output stage can usually be treated as a two-wire
transmitter.
