Wiring the Sensors 
Refer to Table 1-1 for a list of sensors available for use with the  
LTC-MAP 2130 Monitor.  Detailed installation information for each sensor is 
provided in the referenced documentation. 
Some general notes to consider during sensor selection and installation: 
• 
Thermowell RTD sensors require a signal conditioning transmitter to 
provide a 4-20 mA output to the monitor.   
• 
Figure 3-4 provides Sensor and Input Connection locations on the I/O 
board. 
• 
We recommend using #18 AWG shielded, twisted pair wire for sensor 
input connections to the I/O board, unless stated otherwise in the 
documentation provided with the sensor.  Use of shielded twisted pair 
improves noise immunity; the shield should be grounded at one end 
only.
