4. Field Connection Arrangements
his section shows the speed input connection arrangements for typical sensor configurations.
T
Active sensors are considered as field powered devices, and are available in two principal varieties:
•Totem Pole output sensors, actively drive their outputs to a positive potential and to ground
and do not rely on an external voltage bias.
•Open Collector output sensors, can only actively drive their outputs to ground and rely on an
external pull-up resistor to bias the output to a positive potential. The T8846 SIFTA provides
the biasing components for this type of sensor.
Passive sensors are considered to be magnetic, inductive pick up devices with no field power
requirements.

4.4. Chassis Ground Connections
The chassis ground plane on the T8846 is common across all groups of speed inputs and Speed
Monitor interface connections.
The screening shield of each speed input signal cable should be connected to chassis ground at the
T8846 assembly.
Each speed input channel has a terminal to allow connection of the screening shield to chassis
ground, Refer to section 3.3 for connection details.
The T8846 chassis ground plane must be connected to a local chassis ground close to where the
assembly is mounted.
There are two studs provided on the assembly to allow this connection to be made. These are marked
as TERM1 & TERM2 on the PCB silkscreen legend.
Note : Only one connection should be made between the T8846 and local chassis ground.
