Model 831 Manual Model 831 Specifications A-9
I/O Connector Specification
The 831 meter includes an I/O connector for peripherals and external power, or other external devices.
For example:
•CBL143 and CBL151 cables: these cables permit the Model 831 to be powered from external
12 V batteries.
•CBL154 cable: used to obtain power from a battery when used with the 426A12
•831-INT: integrates the Model 831 with outdoor microphone units (426A12 and PRM2100K)
and weather transducers
•PRM2103, 426A12 and 2101K: Model 831 provides control signals to these outdoor
microphone units when not used with 831-INT
