If the TTDM-128 will be used to monitor a sensor directly, follow 

these instructions to connect the sensor to the TTDM-128. If the 

TTDM-128 is being used only as a network master, skip to Con-

necting the TraceTek Network.

prepare sensing cable. 

Ensure that the sensing cable has been installed and tested in ac-

cordance with the instructions provided with the cable.

Make connections.

• Confirm that power to the unit has been shut off.
• Open the enclosure door.
• Feed the end of the TraceTek Leader Cable (or Jumper Cable) 

through the gland plate 

br

 adapter/bushing into the enclosure.

• Remove the sensor cable plug

.

• Connect the four color-coded wires to the Sensor Interface plug.

 Important: 

Observe the color coding. If wires are not connected 

to the proper terminals, the leak detection system cannot oper-

ate properly.

• Insert the sensing cable plug back into the socket on the Sensor

When sensing cable will be located in Class I, Division 1 (Zone 0 or 

Zone 1 in Europe) hazardous locations, approval agencies require 

that the sensing cable be protected with a zener barrier between 

the sensing cable and the TTDM-128 module. Contact TraceTek to 

select the proper zener barrier.

When installing a zener barrier, wire it in accordance with the 

instructions provided with the kit.

If the TTDM-128 will be used as the network master in a TraceTek 

network, follow these instructions to connect the communication 

wiring.

Note:

 Some TraceTek network configurations will require different 

 connections for the communication wiring. Please refer to the 

TTDM-128 User Manual for further details.

Ensure that the communication cable has been installed and 

tested.

• Connect the positive wire to terminal 3 (485+) and the  negative 

wire to terminal 4 (485–) of the J10 cable plug.

• Connect the shield wire to the round lug

 Important:

 Observe the polarity. If wires are not connected to the

• Place the positive and negative wire in the Ferrite clamp. Do 

not place the shield wire inside the clamp. Close the clamp by 

securing its latch to the snaps.
