My sensor has three connectors. How do I connect it to my ADMM?
The AD MM series measures the input voltage (=> output voltage of the sensor) using VIN + and VIN - . These PINs are isolated from the rest of the module and have no defined potential unless a sensor is connected.
Since sensors measure the output voltage relative to the sensor ground, VIN- must also be connected to the sensor ground.
