To ensure system performance to published specifications, wiring procedures and system configuration
guidelines must be carefully followed.
6.2 Transducer Connections
The cable from the transducer has 10 conductors (5 pair Belden YR8105 or equivalent). Standard available
lengths are 5, 15, and 25 feet. (Consult MTS Sensors Division for custom lengths.) It is recommended to
keep the transducer cable as short as possible to avoid possible noise or temperature effects on accuracy.
Table 6A (below) identifies the cable leads from the Temposonics II transducer. Note the three version
indicated in the table: Neuter Temposonics II, Temposonics II with an integrated Digital Personality
Module (DPM), and a Temposonics II with an integrated RS422 Personality Module (RPM).

Notes:
1. Verify if the cable has striped or solid color leads and make connections accordingly.
2. Cable : Belden YR8105 or equivalent
3. IMPORTANT: Connect the unused interrogation lead to ground.
4. Connect both positive and negative interrogation leads to ground when using a DPM programmed for internal interrogation.
5. When using external interrogation, connect both the positive and negative interrogation leads to provide differential interrogation.
NOTE:
The following recommendations are sup-
plied for “full digital” systems, which
include a Temposonics Digital Counter
Card. For systems which use a digital
counting device in the receiver computer,
the counter card is not supplied. Use the
following procedures in conjunction with
the receiver device manufacturer’s rec-
ommendations.
