initial power-up and test

connect the cable to the selected instrument and test the 

system.

•  Apply power to the TraceTek instrument and look for a “Normal” 

indication.
–  On TTC-1, TTSIM-1A or TTSIM-2 family, there will be a green 

LED and no other red or yellow LEDs.  
(On TTSIM-1A and TTSIM-2 the green LED will flicker off 
every 10 seconds.)

–  On TTSIM-1, Normal Condition is indicated by a steady 

green LED and a momentary flash of the RED LED every 10 
seconds.

–  On TTDM-128 the alpha-numeric display will indicate a 

channel number and display the words SYSTEM NORMAL.

•  If the Yellow LED is on in any of these instruments or the words 

“Cable Break” or “Loop Break” is displayed, then the cable 

system must be inspected for loose connections, missing end 

terminations until the cable continuity is established and the 

“Normal” condition is achieved.

•  LEAK testing can be done with a mapping cap (TT-MAPPING 

CAP-PC). The MAPPING CAP simulates a leak at the location 

where it is inserted into the system.
–  For TTC-1, TTSIM-1 and TTSIM-2 a red LED will indicate that 

the simulated LEAK has been detected.

–  For TTSIM-2 and TTDM-128 a leak location will be displayed 

in feet or meters (as selected) in addition to the red LED 
indication

•  For larger piping systems with TTDM-128 or TTSIM-2, the 

MAPPING CAP should be moved sequentially to each accessible 

connector. Note the distance displayed on the as-built drawings. 

This will become the basis for the System Map.

•  Create a System Map showing where sensing cables and alarm 

modules have been installed. The System Map will include 

the beginning and end of sensing cables, and location of any 

connections. If using locating alarm modules, the System Map 

should include distance readings at significant landmarks 

(beginning and end of system, changes of direction, branches, 

valves, low points, etc.).
