GENERAL INFORMATION
Please read these instructions carefully and keep them in a safe
place (preferably close to the TTDM-128) for future reference.
These instructions must be followed carefully to ensure proper
operation.
The TTDM-128 Leak Detection Master Module has been designed
specifically for use with TraceTek sensing cables, point sensors,
sensor interface modules and relay modules. The TTDM-128 can
directly monitor up to 1500 m (5000 ft) of sensing cable, and large
networks of remote leak detection modules.
An external disconnect device and appropriate branch circuit
protection (no more than 20 amp rating) should be provided for
the TTDM-128. The disconnect device should be clearly marked
as such. Follow all national and local codes and regulations
applicable to the installation.

INSTALLING THE TTDM128
IMPORTANT: The TTDM-128 is an electronic unit. During installation, take the following
precautions to avoid damage to its electronic components:
• To avoid damage to the unit, store the TTDM-128 module in its cardboard box until
construction is complete.
• Handlewithcare,avoidmechanicaldamage.
• Keeptheelectronicsdry.
• Ifhandlingcircuitboards,holdthembytheiredgestoavoidphysicalcontactwithelectronic
components.
• Avoidexposuretostaticelectricity.
• Avoid contamination with metal filings, liquids, or other foreign matter.
Select the mounting position.
Choose a location indoors where the module will be protected from the elements and temperature
extremes. Follow all national and local codes and regulations applicable to the installation.
• Removethemodulefromitscarton.Donotremovetheprotectivefilmfromthemembrane
on the front of the unit.
• Opentheenclosuredoorusingaflat-bladescrewdriveroracoin.
WARNING:
IGNITION HAZARD.DonotmounttheTTDM-128unitinahazardouslocation.Sensingcable
connected to the TTDM-128 may (subject to approvals restrictions) be located in hazardous
locations, but the module itself must be in an ordinary area.
IMPORTANT: The TraceTek sensing circuit is power limited, so the TraceTek leader or jumper
cable and the power supply cable must not run in the same conduit.
Mounting the Enclosure
Install the enclosure using four screws (selected by installer) in the prepunched 8 mm (5/16-inch)
mounting holes with centers as shown in Figure 3. If plastic plugs are in the mounting holes,
remove them.
Make sure the rubber elastomeric washers (provided in the shipping box) are aligned to seal
around the mounting screws to maintain the TYPE 12 and IP54 ratings.

Making Enclosure Entries Using the Removable Gland Plate
The removable gland plate br on the bottom edge of the enclosure provides a location to feed
wires into the enclosure (Figure 4). The plate is attached with eight screws. Unscrew these to
remove the gland plate, then you can drill or punch holes in the gland plate appropriate for your
application. There is sufficient width for up to five 1/2-inch or M20 holes. Remove all metal filings
and dust from the gland plate before remounting. Take care not to damage the gasket on the gland
plate. You must secure the gland plate ground wire to the chassis ground lug after remounting the
gland plate.

Connect the alarm relays.
The TTDM-128 has three relays, for service ck, leak bt, and fault bs. Each relay provides two
Form-C relay contacts, and normally open and normally closed contacts are both provided. The
relays are de-energized to indicate an alarm condition. The illustration shows the relay status in
the alarm (de-energized) state.
The illustrations that follow show how relays can be jumpered together to allow remote
monitoring of the TTDM-128 status with only a single pair of wires. The TTDM-128 de-energizes
its relays to signal an alarm condition. Therefore, loss of power, as well as any other type of alarm,
would signal the remote alarm.
IMPORTANT: Therelayplugscanacceptwires10AWG(4.7sq.mm)orsmaller.Werecommend18
AWG(1.0sq.mm)wires.Cableshouldhaveatemperatureratingof65°C.
IMPORTANT: Maximum load for relays is 5 A.

STARTUP AND SYSTEM TESTING
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, only the green Monitoring LED 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-128 Operation and
Maintenance Manual (H56853) supplied with the module.
Commissioning.
Your system should be commissioned by an authorized TraceTek representative including creation
ofaSystemMap.TheSystemMapisacrucialpartofaTraceTeklocatingsystem.TheSystem
Mapisnormallycompletedatthetimetheleakdetectionsystemiscommissioned.TheSystem
MapisdefinedforeachSIMsensorcircuit,typicallyanas-builtdrawingofthesensorcable/
component layout with reference to readily identifiable landmarks, preferably with actual distance
measurementsevery5m(16ft)throughoutthesystem.TheSystemMapshouldbeconstructed
with simulated leak events at convenient locations along the leak detection circuit. The reported
leakdistance(fromTTDM-128)isrecordedontheSystemMapforeverytestedlocation.The
TTDM-128 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-128inasecureplacefor
later use (commissioning, connecting interfaces, operating). If the equipment is used in a manner
not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
IMPORTANT: BeforecreatingaleakalarmforSystemMappingpurposes,thesensingcable
parameters RG Resistance and YB Resistance should be stable and equal +/- 2%, and cable
parameterSenseResshouldbegreaterthan10,000kohms.
