section Communication Options on page 78. 
Connecting Communication and Power Cables 
Connecting Communication Cable to Receiver Interface Unit 
The receiver interface unit is equipped with the master CPU LTC212. 
This CPU is responsible for communication with all intelligent units 
within the LT31 system and for the communication with the host 
computer system. 
1.  Connect the respective data terminals of the interface unit with the 
recommended communication cable type, see section Cable 
Selection on page 73. The communication cable should be either 
connected into the Vaisala TERMBOX (see above) or routed 
straight through the opening in the base plate of the mast and 
further into a local junction box. Prepare a cable of sufficient length 
to interconnect the interface unit with the local junction box. 
2.  Route the cable through a fitting cable feed-through at the bottom 
of the interface unit.  
3.  For details, see section Communication Options on page 78. 
Connecting Power Cable to Receiver Interface Unit 
The power cable should be either connected into the Vaisala TERMBOX 
(see above) or routed straight through the opening in the base plate of the 
mast and further into a local power distribution box. Use a 3-conductor 
power cable (3 x 1.5 mm
2
) of sufficient length with free wire ends. Make 
sure to connect the wires in the correct way, especially the ones to the 
protective ground (usually yellow/green). See Figure 84 on page 126 for 
wiring instructions. 
Switching on LT31 System 
After the wiring work is finalized, the common power for the receiver 
and transmitter location can be switched on and the power switches 
inside the interface unit enclosures of the transmitter and receiver can be 
switched on as well. 
In case the battery backup LTBB111 is installed, the battery switches can 
now be switched on as well on both locations. 
The LEDs on the power supply of the interface unit must illuminate. See 
Figure 85 on page 129 and Figure 86 on page 129.
