Table 1-1 Signal and Power Connections
Connecting the power supply:
All models in this range require an input voltage supply between 9 and 36V DC.
This is typically 24V DC supply at 2.9W. This will rise to 4.6W if the Non-Dew
window heaters are used.
Pin Connections for RS232 Signal
The sensors can only be operated with RS232 communications. RS232 may be
used up to 100 m but reliable communications cannot be guaranteed for more
than 40 m. The connections are as above.
1.2.3
Connectors – ALS-2 Option
If the sensor is ordered with the option of the additional ambient light sensor
(ALS-2), the SWS – LW sensor will have a second connector for the ALS-2, in the
position shown in Figure 1-2 Cable Connectors. This mates with the connector
supplied on the ALS-2 cable, as detailed below.
The connector used is military grade conforming to MIL-C-24682 Series I. Any
connector fully compatible with MIL-C-24682 may be used. The actual type on
this instrument is an Amphenol, 62GB-57A10-07SN, being a 7-way, size 10 with
socket inserts. A suitable mating cable mounting plug is: Amphenol 62GB-56T10-
07PN.
