Features:
The IDM II controller is equipped with a Li-Ion Battery pack and a power convertor to supply the
sensors with 24VDC.
The battery gets charged by the charger, which is included in the tool kit or by any power source
from 9 to 30VDC (center pin positive).
With the power switch, the controller is switched on and off.
The light (LED) indicates the condition of the controller.
A constant green light shows that the tool is switched on and is in normal operation.
Slowly green blinking indicates battery charging
Slowly yellow blinking indicates a warning as increased temperature or low battery status. If the
tool is connected to the PC, a warning window will appear on the screen as well. Ongoing
Measurements can be completed without problems.
Fast red flashing shows an alarm as dangerous high temperature or battery completely empty. In
case of temperature alarm, the tool has to be removed immediately for cooling to prevent damage.
It creates also an alarm window on the PC screen.
A constant blue light indicates that the tool is measuring.
The sensors* are also equipped with LEDs near their plugs, which indicate the function of the
sensor. A constant light indicates that the sensor is working and is in normal range. A blinking
light shows that the sensor is out of range. This means, that the surface to measure is too far away
or too close to the sensor.

IDM2 CONTROLLER:
The following schematic shows the main components and wiring of the IDM Controller.
The pins 1 and 3 supply the 24VDC for the sensors
The analog signal from the sensor is fed back to the controller either via pin 2 or 4; depending on
the sensor. The sensors, which are included in the tool kit, have a 0...10V output on pin 2.
(Sensors with orange heads from IFM)
In case a sensor with mA output or with the signal on pin 4 is used, configure the respective
channel accordingly via Measurement Studio.
