The LT-3100 system requires a SIM card to be operated with the Iridium® satellite services. The Iridium®
SIM card must be bought from one of the official Iridium® Service Providers. A list of Iridium® Service
Providers can be found at the Iridium® website: https://www.iridium.com (select ‘Services’, and hereafter
‘Voice’).
The LT-3100 system is supporting pre- and postpaid SIM card subscriptions.
The SIM card must be inserted in the LT-3110 Control Unit behind the rubber dust cover. Make sure that
the LT-3110 Control Unit is powered off before opening the rubber dust cover. When the SIM card is
properly inserted in the slot, and the rubber dust cover is secured, the LT-3110 Control Unit can be
powered up. The rubber dust cover is illustrated in Figure 3 on page 6 and marked with ‘SIM’.
The following procedure must be followed when inserting, replacing, or removing the SIM card:
1. Turn off the power to the LT-3110 Control Unit

2. Remove the rubber dust cover on the back side of the LT-3110 Control Unit
3. Slide the SIM card holder as illustrated with the arrows on the PCB print, to unlock
4. Open the SIM card holder and insert or remove the SIM card
5. Close the SIM card holder
6. Slide the SIM card holder as illustrated with the arrows on the PCB (opposite direction), to lock
7. Re-insert the rubber dust cover
8. Turn on power to the LT-3110 Control Unit

NOTE: The LT-3110 Control Unit must be powered off when inserting, changing, or removing the
SIM card. The SIM card is hidden behind the rubber dust cover on the back side of the LT-
3110 Control Unit.
Figure 21 is showing an Iridium SIM card. The format is Mini-SIM (2FF) 25 x 15 mm. The SIM card must be
removed from the full-sized card carrier by breaking the Mini-SIM out. The full-sized card carrier contains
the MSISDN number, while the SIM card itself contains the ICC-ID.
Figure 21: Iridium SIM card
The SIM card will be delivered from the Iridium Service Provider (ISP) together with the essential
information:
• MSISDN number (the Iridium voice number)

• ICC-ID
• PIN codes
• PUK codes
The SIM card will be delivered with the SIM lock feature disabled. Thus, the LT-3100 system will be
operational as soon as the SIM card is inserted. If the user decides to activate the SIM lock function from
the UI display, then the PIN code is required next time the LT-3100 system is powered up.
NOTE: Change of the SIM card PIN code can only be performed, if the PIN lock is enabled. If
changing the SIM card PIN code, then the SIM card default PIN code cannot be restored,
and the new PIN code must be used to unlock the SIM card and the Iridium services.

Ethernet (RJ45)
The LT-3110 Control Unit has an Ethernet LAN (RJ-45) interface, currently supporting service &
maintenance. The Ethernet interface must be used to access the built-in web server, which is further
described in Web server on page 30. The LT-3110 Control Unit will automatically request and obtain an IP
address when connected to a Local Area Network (LAN) with a DHCP server (e.g. a router). If connecting the
LT-3110 Control Unit directly to a PC, the two will automatically negotiate an IPv4 Link-Local address. The
current IP address can be found in the user interface display (Menu -> System -> Network: IP Address).
Auxiliary
The auxiliary connector is a 10-pin connector (male) mounted on the backside of the LT-3110 Control Unit
as illustrated in Figure 3 on page 6 and marked with ‘AUX’. The auxiliary connector supports the following
interfaces:
• RS-422 serial interface

• 2 x Input/output (I/O)
The auxiliary interface is not supported in software version 1.01.
NOTE: Use only the 91-100768 Auxiliary Cable, 3m delivered by Lars Thrane A/S for connecting to
the auxiliary connector on the backside of the LT-3110 Control Unit. The Auxiliary Cable,
3m is an accessory part and must be acquired separately.

Antenna
The LT-3110 Control Unit and the LT-3130 Antenna Unit must be connected using a coaxial cable. Both the
control unit and the antenna unit has a N connector (female) mounted. This section will specify the
requirements to the coaxial cable. The minimum set of requirements are specified in Table 2 and Figure 22.
Cable impedance 50 Ω
Maximum signal loss 47.7 dB/100 m @ 1.5 GHz
Maximum DC resistance See Figure 22.
Table 2: Minimum requirements for the coaxial cable connecting the LT-3110
Control Unit and LT-3130 Antenna Unit.
In most cases it will be the DC resistance that will determine the maximum length of the coaxial cable. It is
important to note that the input voltage of the control unit is important for the length of the coaxial cable
that can be used. The following formula can be used to calculate the length of the coaxial cable:
𝑈 2 ∗ 1000
𝐶𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝐿𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑡ℎ (𝑚) =
4 ∗ 𝑃𝐷 ∗ 𝑅 𝐶𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒
where U is the control unit input voltage [V], PD is the antenna unit power (10 W), and RCable is the total DC
resistance [ꭥ/km] (sum of inner and outer conductor resistance).
Figure 22: Coaxial Cable Total DC Resistance vs. Cable Length (12 VDC and 24 VDC).

In Figure 22 two different input voltages (12 VDC and 24 VDC) illustrate the maximum length of the coaxial
cable as a function of the DC cable resistance.
NOTE: The DC cable resistance that is illustrated in Figure 22 and used to calculate the maximum
cable length is the sum of the DC inner conductor resistance and the DC outer conductor
resistance. Some data sheets are not providing sufficient information about the DC
resistance, in which cases, the cable manufacture must be approached to obtain this
information.
Lars Thrane A/S has calculated the maximum allowed cable lengths with two coaxial cables as illustrated in
Table 3. The two cables are FF195LSFROH (~RG-58) and FF400LSFROH (~RG-214).
Cable Type 12 VDC Supply 24 VDC Supply

Max Cable Length Max Cable Length
FF195LSFROH (4.9mm) 70 m 285 m
FF400LSFROH (10.3mm) 265 m 500 m
Table 3: Maximum coaxial cable length to be used on 12 VDC and 24 VDC (cable examples).
The cable lengths calculated in Table 3 are obtained by reducing the input voltage by 10% (10.8 VDC and
21.6 VDC) to compensate for variation in the power source.
The total DC resistance for the two cables are:
Cable Type Inner Conductor DC Outer Conductor DC Total DC Resistance

Resistance [Ω/km] Resistance [Ω/km] [Ω /km]
FF195LSFROH (4.9mm) 24.9 15.8 40.7
FF400LSFROH (10.3mm) 4.5 6.5 11
Table 4: Total DC resistance (cable examples).
IMPORTANT: If using a coaxial cable that is different to what is specified in this section (FF195LSFROH
and FF400LSFROH), then verify that the coaxial cable maximum signal loss (listed in Table 2)
is respected and calculate the maximum cable length as a function of the input voltage and
the total DC resistance. Contact Lars Thrane A/S to get assistance on selection and
acceptance of a specific coaxial cable.
NOTE: The LT-3110 Control Unit must be powered off when connecting or disconnecting the LT-
3130 Antenna Unit.

LT-3100 User & Installation Manual Rev. 1.05 User Interface (UI)
User Interface (UI)

The LT-3100 system is controlled from the LT-3110 Control Unit, which is the interface for operating and
configuring the system. The control unit has a 4.3” TFT-LCD display, supporting day and night modes. The
layout of the display and buttons is illustrated in Figure 23.

The control unit buttons, function and features, are described in the following groups:
• Power button: The power button can power off the system by pressing the button for 5 seconds. A
pop-up box will show the action, and a counting is showing the count down until the system is
powered off. If the external power source to the system is re-powered, then the system will power
on.
• Brightness button: The brightness button has two functions – change of brightness level and
change of display mode (day and night). When changing the brightness level, the keypad backlight
will be changed as well. Short press (< 1 s); brightness level will change between 7 levels. Long
press (≥ 1 s); will change display mode. The display brightness level and display mode can be
changed from the UI menu as well (Menu -> Settings -> Display).
• Off-hook button: The button is illustrated with a green colored handset. The off-hook buttons
function is to activate a call, if the dialed number is available in the display or a contact is selected
in the Call History. The off-hook button can also be used to accept an incoming call. The alternative
to use the off-hook button is to lift the handset out of the cradle. If the off-hook button is used and
the handset remain in the cradle, the phone audio will be available in the control unit speaker.
• On-hook button: The button is illustrated with a red colored handset. Pressing the on-hook button
will terminate an active call.
• MENU button: The MENU button is used to open the main menu, as illustrated in Figure 24. The
BACK, arrows, and ENTER buttons are used to navigate in the menu layout. Press the MENU button
to exit the menu from anywhere in the menu tree (instead of multiple BACK button presses).
• Soft keys buttons: Three soft keys are available below the display. The soft keys are used for
different purposes and their functions will change in the operation modes of the system.
• Navigation buttons: The navigation buttons (BACK, arrows, and ENTER) are used for navigation
purposes in the menu layout. In context of user input or when making selections, the BACK button
will erase input or cancel editing respectfully, the ENTER button will end input or apply selection
respectfully.

• Numeric Keypad buttons: The numeric keypad buttons, the '*' button, and the '+' button can be
used for entering digits, letters and special characters. Depending on context, pressing one button
in rapid succession (< 1s) will cycle through a selection of letters, digits and/or special characters
(e.g. when entering a phone number, pressing the '*' character twice in succession will result in one
'+' character and not two '*' characters). An icon in the status bar will show the current input mode,
which determines which characters can be cycled - if any. In text mode, the '#' key is used to
change between capital and lowercase letters.

Make a voice call

The LT-3100 system must be properly installed, connected, and configured before trying to establish a
phone call. The LT-3100 system will inform the user about the status of the system, and whether the
system is ready to initiate a call.
NOTE: Verify that the LT-3100 system is ready for making a voice call. Check that the system status
(system text and icons), as described in System information on page 24, shows the correct
system information.
Dialing a mobile originating (MO) voice call can be established in the two following modes:
• On-hook mode (dial the number, and then off-hook)

• Off-hook mode (lift the handset, get ready tone, and dial the number)
On-hook mode:
In on-hook mode the user types in the called number, using the numeric keypad, without lifting the handset
out of the cradle or initially pressing the off-hook button. The typed in called number can be edited until
the user decides to press the off-hook button or lifting the handset out of the cradle.
Figure 26: LT-3110 Control Unit – voice call (on-hook mode).
On-hook mode (step-by-step):
1. Type in the called number (e.g. 004588301089) using the numeric keypad
2. When the called number is complete:
a. Lift the handset out of the cradle or
b. Press the off-hook button (green handset button)
3. The LT-3100 system will now establish a connection to the dialed number

Off-hook mode:
In off-hook mode, the user starts to place the LT-3100 system into off-hook mode (ready tone available).
The off-hook mode can be obtained in two ways: lifting the handset out of the cradle or pressing the green
off-hook button, prior to typing any digits of the called number. In off-hook mode, the user will be met by a
ready tone and the help text “Please enter number” – hereafter, the called number can be dialed, using the
numeric keypad. It is not possible to regret, if one or more wrong digits are typed in, for the dialed number.
In this case, the user must on-hook the phone, and dial the correct number again.
Figure 27: LT-3110 Control Unit – voice call (off-hook mode).
Off-hook mode (step-by-step):
1. Lift the handset out of the cradle or press the off-hook button (green handset button)
2. Confirm that a ready tone is available in the handset, or in the control unit speaker
3. “Please enter number”: user can now enter the called number
4. When the called number is complete, the user has three options:
a. Wait 12 seconds, hereafter the system will try to call the number
b. Press #, hereafter the call will be established immediately
c. Press the off-hook button
5. The LT-3100 system will now establish a connection to the called number
NOTE: The LT-3100 system will provide the user with information, while connecting and
throughout the voice call. In case of problems with the satellite network or connection to
the called party (far-end), the user will be informed through a voice prompt, and by status
cause codes, that will be presented on the display (e.g. “Temporary link failure”).

The voice call connection can be described with the following states:
• State 1: Type in number

• State 2: “Connecting…”
• State 3: “Duration: MM:SS” – (if call is successfully connected)
where MM are minutes and SS are seconds.
The “Connecting…” and “Duration: MM:SS” states are illustrated in Figure 28 and Figure 29.
