Overview

The 3WHB10K provides the completion resistor required for a three-wire half-bridge measurement. It is typically used with 100 Ω and 1000 Ω platinum resistive thermometers (PRTs).

Compatibility

Multiplexers

The AM16/32-series and AM25T multiplexers are compatible with the 3WHB10K.

Data Logger Considerations

The 3WHB10K uses two adjacent single-ended analog inputs; an adjacent analog ground channel accepts the "ground prong" of the 3WHB10K. 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 can accommodate both the 3WHB10K and the cover associated with the CR10XTCR (reference thermistor for thermocouple measurements). Specifically, the physical configuration of the thermocouple cover, the data logger input terminals, and the terminal input modules allow sufficient room for the cover to be used with a Terminal Input Module attached. In contrast, older CR10TCRs are not deep enough.
