INSTALLATION
Mount the transmitter securely on a wall using accessories (screws and dowels)
appropriate for the mounting surface.
The part of the transmitter cover with the top ledge should be facing upward
so as to protect the sensor from dust.
About the precautions to achieve a good functional behavior of the device, it
is important to note that the transmitters placement in the controlled
environment, it is important to check:
- Possible openings in walls and ceilings and air currents
- Composition and shape of the environment
- Extent of the area to be protected
- The accessibility required for maintenance.
- Gas density (heavier or lighter than air)
- Gas emission rate (flow)
The response time of the sensor is closely related to its position in the
environment and the type of gas to be detected.
For gases to be detected, it is necessary to assess their relative density to
air and position the transmitter accordingly.
WARNING
- During the phase of electrical connections, DO NOT let the cover/sensor hang on the flat cable. Otherwise, the product may be damaged.
- Once the transmitter is installed, the bump test procedure must be performed to verify the functionality of the device.
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION AND COVER REMOVAL
-
Fix the transmitter to the wall, using the two screw slots indicated by (3) in the mechanical description section.
-
Access the internal parts by unscrewing the 6 screws on the cover.
Disconnect the flat cable from the sensor to avoid leaving the cover hanging on the flat cable. -
Set aside the cover and rubber gasket so they can be reinstalled later.
ELECTRICAL WIRING
WARNING
- Installation and electrical connection of the device must be carried out by qualified personnel and according to the relevant national standards.
- Make sure that the power supply is disconnected before making any connections.
-
Locate terminal blocks.
-
Make electrical connections by running cables through the opening of the cable gland.
WARNING
• Up to 32 devices can be connected via RS485 interface. Connections must be made with a shielded twisted pair with characteristics equivalent to BELDEN 3106A cables. 120 Ohm termination resistance selectable via App. The total length of the RS485 network must not exceed 1000 meters.
• All other connections should be made with cables with a minimum cross section of 1.5 mm² and a length of less than 30 m.
• Up to a maximum of 6 devices can be powered with a single power supply, taking advantage of the Vin AC/DC terminals (power input terminals 5 and 6 – power output terminals 18 and 19 or vice versa).
• The maximum applicable resistance as a load on the 4..20 mA output line is 350 Ohm, when the transmitter is powered at 9.6 V. -
Remove all excess cables from the housing before firmly securing the cable glands.
-
Fit the cable gland plugs (supplied) into the cable glands without cable.
ALWAYS make sure that all cable glands are tight and that unused cable glands are plugged.
SENSOR CONNECTION AND COVER CLOSURE
-
Place the rubber gasket on the base of the transmitter.
Make sure the gasket is inserted correctly by matching the 4 holes in the gasket with the 4 pegs on the base of the product. -
Reconnect the flat cable connector to the sensor.
-
Make sure that no cables interfere with the sensor module and close the cover.
-
Tighten the 6 screws.
IMPORTANT
- In order to securely seal the product, the cover screws should be tightened to 15..20 in-lb (1,5..2,0 Nm).
OPERATION
- Power up the device.
The green LED blinks slowly (1 blink per second) to indicate the warm-up phase of the sensor, after which the LED remains on steady green all the time.
COOL GUARDIAN and SEITRON COOL GUARD APP PAIRING
Cool Guardian uses a mobile device application that allows users to interface with the gas transmitter.
-
Download the Seitron Cool Guard App and start it.
-
Follow the procedure described in the App to pair the gas transmitter.
The pairing of the Gas transmitter with the App is indicated by the blinking of the blue LED (1 blink per second). -

Once one of the menus is accessed, the configuration password will no longer be required.
- Proceed to configure the main parameters of the gas transmitter by pressing on “Configuration”. At the first installation it is necessary to configure all parameters in this menu.
- Proceed to calibrate the analog output, previously set accessing the menu “Calib. Output.”
GENERAL PROCEDURE FOR CALIBRATION IN GAS
WARNING
-
The transmitter must NOT be in an alarm or fault condition.
-
Be aware of any alarms or faults BEFORE starting the Calibration/Bump test procedure.
-
At altitudes above 6,560 ft (2,000 m), calibration will result in a lower reading.
Refer to the user’s manual for more information. -
Calibration or Bump test procedure can be performed out:
– Via the Seitron Guard App – follow the boxes “ “.
– On the transmitter using the magnetic switches-follow the boxes “ “. -
If the calibration procedure or Bump test is performed via the Seitron Guard App, all outputs are automatically deactivated.
-
If the calibration procedure or Bump test is performed from transmitter, Bluetooth® must be turned off.
-
For Span calibration and Bump test from transmitter, make sure you have entered the value of gas concentration to be used in the menus “Configuration -> Calib. Manual Gas -> Span Concentration” and “Configuration -> Manual Bump-> Threshold” found in the Seitron Guard App.
-
If the Bump test is performed by transmitter, the outputs can be enabled according to the configuration set on the Seitron Guard App at the “Configuration -> Manual Bump -> Enable Alarm” menu.
THE FOLLOWING TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT ARE NEEDED TO PERFORM THE CALIBRATION OR BUMP TEST:
-
Mixture for Zero calibration gas With the exception of CO2 and O2 sensors, ambient air may be used instead of Zero gas if the area where the transmitter is installed is devoid of the gas to be detected or any other gas to which the sensor may be cross-sensitive.
For CO2 and O2 sensors, use air-free nitrogen as the Zero gas; the cylinder must be equipped with a pressure regulator with a flow rate of 0.5 l/min. -
Mixture for Span gas calibration or Bump Test execution.
Mixture of titrated gas suitable for the sensor to be checked with known gas concentration such as to trigger the alarm at the set threshold; the cylinder shall be equipped with a pressure regulator with a flow rate of 0,5 l/min.
For CO2 and O2 sensors, the Span gas shall be in nitrogen equilibrium (N2); for all other sensors the Span gas shall be in air equilibrium. -
Calibration kit ACKC01 (including magnet); mount the calibration adapter on the lid of the gas detector.
-
Flowmeter.
-
Pipe with “T” derivation for connecting the cylinder to the instrument and flow meter.
Procedure:
- Connection diagram:
PERFORM THE BUMP TEST
After installation and configuration is complete, the manufacturer requires a Bump test to be performed to verify the functionality of the device.
-
Connect the adapter and gas cylinder following the instructions under “General procedure for calibration in gas”.
-
Start the execution of the bump test:
From Seitron Guard App
a. Press the “Bump” button and fill in the required data.
b. Apply gas to the transmitter and follow the instructions in the App to perform the Bump test.
From Transmitter
a. Apply gas to the transmitter.
b. Rest the magnet on the magnetic switch B for more than one second:
LED is still white, then remove the magnet. -
The green LED flashes quickly (5 times per second) indicating that the
Bump test is running. -
At the end of the Bump test, the transmitter and App communicate the result:
a. The buzzer sounds continuously for 3 seconds if the Bump test is successful.
b. The buzzer beeps 5 times if the Bump test is negative.
c. The Seitron Guard App shows a pop-up containing the test result:
“Bump test completed” or “Bump test to be repeated.” -
Shut off the gas flow and remove the calibration adapter.
GAS SENSOR CALIBRATION
If the Bump test has failed, it is necessary to proceed with the calibration
of the gas sensor.
During the sensor calibration phase, the transmitter is on OFFLINE mode,
meaning that all outputs are deactivated.

From Transmitter
a. Touch the magnet on the magnetic button B for more than 5 seconds: when the LED is steady yellow, remove the magnet.
b. The red LED is lit steadily.
c. Apply gas to the transmitter.
d. Start calibration by touching the magnet on the magnetic switch B for one second.
e. The red LED flashes quickly (5 times per second) indicating that Span calibration is in progress. -
When the Span calibration is completed, the App and the transmitter communicate the result:
From Seitron Guard App
a. A pop-up appears containing the test result: “Span calibration completed” or “Calibration to be repeated.”
From Transmitter
a. The red LED flashes slowly (1 time every 2 seconds) if the calibration is successful.
