I have a Auberins SYL-2352 that I'm hooking an RTD probe to. Auberins told me to hook the Negative(white wire) to #5 and the positive (red wires) to 3 and 4 with a jumper wire. I'm getting reading of 1200 deg. When I hook up the negative to 5 and one positive to 4 I seem to be getting the correct temp. What is the correct way?
 
I'd stick with what seems to be working and then run a few tests at different temps to make sure that it stays correct.
 
I just tried a test with just using one positive. Seems to read fine at first but as the temp starts to go up the controller reads even farther from what the true temp is. I started at 76 deg. when the controller read 81 deg the true temp was 107 deg.
I tested the controller with a paper clip on the positive and negative to read the ambient temp and it seems to be correct.
I tested the probe. Both positive lines are reading 110.

Have you set the controller to an RTD input? Setting "Sn" should be 21 for a Pt100 sensor

Edit: ignore this I just re-read your OP and just saw the red wires
Also are you sure you have an RTD sensor, and not a thermocouple? Generally from what I have seen Auber's RTD are 3 wire. TC are 2 wires.
Do you have a part number for the product you bought from Auber?
