PT100 is a common temperature transducer. It comes available in a variety of interface options, so you need to give the part number. Could be 4-20mA, 0-5V, etc.

If it's just a bare probe, the leads may be for Kelvin measurement. Two wires carry the current, and the other pair are for the measurement device. The way to check is to place an ohmmeter on the leads. If I am correct, the reds should read shorted, same for white. The resistive element is not polarity sensitive.
