CAUTION
The device shall not be exposed to extreme mechanical or thermal stress.
The EE8915 is not appropriate for safety, emergency stop or other critical applications where device malfunction or failure could cause injury to humans and other living beings.

CONNECTION DIAGRAM

Important note:
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for personal injuries or damage to property as a result of incorrect handling, installation, wiring, power supply and maintenance of the device.
FIX INSTALLED CABLE

M12 CONNECTOR

Very important: For failure-free operation and performance according to the specs, the GND supply and the GND analogue output must be wired separately.
Analogue outputs factory settings according ordering guide (see datasheet at www.epluse.com/ee8915 ):

DIMENSIONS

INSTALLATION

WALL MOUNT
Choose a location which minimizes the dust deposits on the filter.
DUCT MOUNT
When correctly installed, a small amount of air will flow through the divided probe into the EE8915 enclosure, where the CO2 sensing cell is located, and back into the duct.

Very important
For accurate measurement and response time according to specification:

• Minimum air speed in the duct shall be 1 m/s (196 ft/m).
• The air flow shall be perpendicular to the opening holes on the head of probe.

SETUP AND ADJUSTMENT

The EE8915 is ready to use and does not require any configuration by the user. The factory setup of EE8915 corresponds to the type number ordered. For ordering guide please see data sheet at www.epluse.com/ee8915.
If needed, the user can change the factory setup by using the USB service interface and the EE-PCS, Product Configuration Software, free download at www.epluse.com/configurator.
One can change the CO2 output signal, the scaling of the outputs and perform CO2 adjustment.
It is possible to enable or disable the pressure compensation (factory setting: enabled) and the NAMUR error indication (factory setting: disabled).
The USB port (type Micro-B, smartphone standard) is located behind the access cover.

During setup or adjustment via USB service interface, the EE8915 requires external power supply.

EE-PCS PRODUCT CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE

1. Download the EE-PCS Product Configuration Software from www.epluse.com/configurator and install it on the PC.
2. Connect the E+E device to an USB port of the PC.
3. Start the EE-PCS software.
4. Follow the instructions on the EE-PCS opening page for scanning the ports and identifying the connected device.
5. Click on the desired setup or adjustment mode from the main EE-PCS menu on the left and follow the online instructions.

ERROR INDICATION ON THE ANALOGUE OUTPUT
The EE8915 features an error indication on the analogue output according to NAMUR recommendations (factory setting: disabled).
The feature can be enabled with the EE-PCS Product Configuration Software, see above.

STATUS LEDs
The status LEDs are located behind the access cover.

Green LED
flashing = Normal operation
Red LED
off = Normal operation
on = Failure. Contact E+E after sales service.
flashing = Failure. Also indicated on the analogue output (NAMUR indication enabled). The failure might be temporary, caused for instance by overheating. If the flashing persists, contact E+E after sales service.

MAINTENANCE

Longer response time of the wall mount EE8915 is caused by duct deposits on the filter.
Clean the filter by sweeping it gently with a soft, dry cloth!
