Powering 
The products require a nominal 24 VDC/VAC power supply 
maintaining a voltage of 18 ... 30 VDC or 20 ... 26 VAC for all 
load conditions and all mains voltages. Although the power input 
includes a half-wave rectifier, it is recommended to use a DC 
supply to avoid current peaks. 
Connections to 24 VAC Power Supply 
Connecting more than one transmitter to a single 24VAC 
transformer forms a common loop and increases the risk of a

short-circuit. Therefore, a separate floating supply for each 
transmitter is recommended (see Figure 1). 
If several transmitters share a common transformer, the phase (~) 
must always be connected to the 24 V connector in each 
transmitter (see Figure 2).

Mounting the GMW115 Transmitter 
Mount the back plate onto a wall using screws. Make sure the 
back plate is mounted in with the same orientation as in Figure 4.

SERIAL COMMUNICATION INTERFACES 
The modules support RS232 or RS485 communication. RS232 is set as 
factory default. The RS485 interface is selected by serial command. The 
communication settings for both interfaces are: 9600, N, 8, 1. 
RS485 Interface 
The interface is non-isolated two-wire interface with no internal bus 
termination. If termination is needed, use RC termination (100 Ω resistor 
in series with 1 nF capacitor) at both ends of the bus. See serial 
commands list below to activate the RS485 interface. 
RS232 Interface 
Use the RS-232 interface for setting the operating parameters. The 
connection cable between PC and module (a serial COM adapter for 
maintenance purposes) is available from Vaisala (order code: 
19040GM).
