Setting Up the Hardware
This chapter helps you install the hardware with these tasks:
• connecting LDTs to the Interface Module (IFM) terminal block
• minimizing interference from radiated electrical noise
• connecting outputs to output devices
• checking out the wiring and grounding
• setting up the hydraulics
• regarding the Interface Module (IFM) terminal block and cable
We assume that you will use one of the following types of LDT:
• Temposonics II: RPM TTSRxxxxxxR, or
DPM TTSRxxxxxxDExxx
• Balluff: BTL-2-L2, or BTL-2-M2
• Santest: GYRP, or GYRG
• Gemco Quick-Stick II: 951VP, or 951 RS
We illustrate connections for these types of LDTs. (There are other
suppliers with compatible LDTs.)

(+) and (–) wires of the same function should be a twisted pair within the cable.
(note 1) We use the term “Return” for gate out, pulse trigger, or square wave (Gemco) and
start/stop (Balluff -M2) LDT signals.
