There are 3 ways to connect the TTDM to a host computer: hard-wired

RS-232, hard-wired RS-485, or standard modular RS-232 cable. For

permanent installations, the hard-wired method is recommended 

(either RS-232 or RS-485 as necessary). The modular RS-232 cable
should be used only for temporary connections by trained technicians.

Make connections.

• Confirm that power to the unit has been shut off.

• Open the enclosure door.

• Feed the end of the communication cable through the 

gland plate 

br

adapter/bushing into the enclosure.

• Remove the J13 cable plug 

cm

from the socket.

For RS-232 connection: 

• Connect the RX, TX, RTS, CTS and DGND wire 

to terminals 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10 respectively.

• Set the host port selector switch

cq

on the 

User Interface board 

7

to the RS232 position.

For RS-485 connection: 

• Connect the positive wire to terminal 5 (RX/A) and 

the negative wire to terminal 6 (TX/B).
Set the host port selector switch

cq

on the 

User Interface board 

7

to the RS485 position.

• Connect the shield wire to the grounding lug 

bq

.

• Insert the J13 cable plug back into the socket 

cm

.

Power up the system.

After connections are complete, supply power to the unit. The unit will go

through a series of self-tests, and then display the system status. If the

sensing circuit is complete and free of leaks or other problems, the green

Monitoring LED 

only

will illuminate, and the LCD display will appear similar

to that shown at right:

If this is not the case, you can find additional information in the 

TTDM

Operation and Maintenance Manual 

supplied with the module.

Commissioning

Your system should be commissioned by an authorized TraceTek repre-

sentative. The system map is a crucial part of a TraceTek locating system.

The TTDM will give the point along the sensing cable at which liquid has

been detected; the map is essential to show its physical location.

Important: 

Store hardware and documentation supplied with the 

TTDM in a secure place for later use (commissioning, connecting 

interfaces, operating).
