  • Ensure sensor inlets are unobstructed and are free of debris

Failure to follow instructions outlined in this user manual can result in sickness or death.

Use Instructions and Limitations

The Macurco CD-6B is a three relay Carbon Dioxide (CO2) detector and controller available in low voltage.
The CD-6B has three selectable alarm relays, buzzer, and digital display options.
The CD-6B is a low-level meter capable of displaying from 0 to 5.0% vol. with a display resolution of 0.01% vol.
(measurement is % by volume) of CO2.
The CD-6B is factory calibrated and 100% tested for proper operation.
The CD-6B has the option to use automated background calibration (Abc) to set the clean air level on a regular basis.
If not using automated background calibration, the CD-6B requires a manual calibration process at a minimum of once every year using the Macurco CD6B-FCK calibration kit.
Carbon dioxide is a colorless, odorless gas that is produced both by people exhaling CO2 as well the burning of gasoline, coal, oil, and wood. The outdoor concentration of carbon dioxide can vary from 350-450 parts per million (ppm) or higher in areas with high vehicle traffic or industrial activity. The indoor CO2 level depends upon the number of people present, how long an area has been occupied, the amount of outdoor fresh air entering the area and other factors. CO2 concentrations indoors can vary several hundred parts per million in areas with many people present for an extended period and where fresh air ventilation is limited. Outdoor “fresh” air ventilation is important as it can dilute CO2 levels of the indoor environment. The amount of fresh air that should be  supplied to a room depends on the type of facility and room. Ventilation should keep carbon dioxide concentrations below 1000 ppm and create indoor air quality conditions that are acceptable to most individuals.

WARNING
Each person using this equipment must read and understand the information in this user manual before use. Use of this equipment by untrained or unqualified persons or use that is not in accordance with this user manual, may adversely affect product performance.

2.1 Use For
The CD-6B provides CO2 detection and automatic ventilation control for buildings in non-hazardous locations wherever 100 lbs or more of CO2 is stored – bars, restaurants, breweries, etc.
The Awareness Alarm and Alarm 1 Relay is intended to locally warn users of high level of CO2. The Alarm 2 Relay and Alarm 3 Relay are intended to sound remote alarm functions to warn building users of high CO2 concentrations. The CD-6B is not compatible with Macurco DVP Control Panels. The three (3) dry contact relays can be connected back to a Fire or security panel.
WARNING
Use only for monitoring the gas which the sensor and monitor is designed to detect. Failure to do so may result in exposures to gases not detectable and cause serious injury or death. For proper use, see supervisor or user manual, or contact Technical Support at 1-844-325-3050.

2.2 Do NOT use for

Installation and Operating Instructions

WARNING
This detector helps monitor for the presence and concentration level of a certain specified airborne gas. Misuse may produce an inaccurate reading, which means that higher levels of the gas being monitored may be present and could result in overexposure and cause serious injury or death. For proper use, see supervisor or User manual, or contact Technical Support at 1-844-325-3050.

3.1 Location
Mounting height will be dependent on the application. For applications with CO2 tanks, mount height should be about one foot above the floor. For indoor air quality, mount detector at breathing level, about 5 feet (1.5 meters) above the floor on a wall or column in a central area where air movement is generally good. The unit, on average, can cover about 5,000 sq. ft. (465 sq. meters). The coverage depends on air movement within the room or facility.
Extra detectors may be needed near any areas where people work or where the air is stagnant. The CD-6B mounts on a 4×4 electrical box supplied by the contractor. Do not install the CD-6B inside another box unless it has good air flow through it. Do NOT mount the CD-6B where the normal ambient temperature is below 32°F or exceeds 121°F (below 0°C or above 50°C).
WARNING
High voltage terminals (120/240 VAC) are located within this detector, presenting a hazard to service technicians. Only qualified technicians should open the detector case and service the internal circuits. Ensure power is de- energized from the detector relays  prior to servicing the unit. Failure to do so may result in electrical shock.

3.2 Installation

  1. The CD-6B mounts on a 4” square (or 4×4) electrical box supplied by the contractor. Do not mount the CD-6B inside another box, unless it has good air flow through it.
  2. Connect the CD-6B to Class 2 Listed power supply only. It is suggested to use a dedicated transformer for powering the unit or units because of possible interferences from other devices on the same power supply.
  3. Connect the CD-6B to the control cables with terminal plugs. When making connections, make sure the power is de-energized.
  4. There are two terminals for Power: 12 to 24 VAC or 12 to 32 VDC, with no polarity preference.
  5. There are two terminals for the dry alarm relay contacts. The alarm relays can switch up to 2.0 A load, up to 240 VAC or 30 VDC. The alarm relays are activated if gas reaches or exceeds the alarm settings. See section 4.5 Default – Factory Settings of these User instructions for details on relay settings.
  6. The Alarm 1 Relay and Alarm 2 Relay can be configured to normally open (N.O.) (default) or normally closed (N.C.). Alarm 3 Relay can be wired N.O or N.C.
  7. The relays will activate if the gas concentration exceeds alarm set point. Note that if the alarm relay set point is set to “diS”, the alarm relay will not engage at all.
  8. The alarm relays can be configured for latching or non-latching. When latching is set to “On” and the gas concentration exceeds the relay setpoint, power will need to be interrupted or the “TEST” button pressed to un-latch (turn off) the relay condition. When latching is set to “OFF”, the relay will deactivate once the gas concentration drops below the alarm set point.
  9. The Alarm 1 Relay will engage in trouble condition (if the Trouble Fan Setting Option is set to “On”) and will disengage once trouble condition is cleared.

NOTE: The detector should be mounted as close to the primary leak source as possible. If the tanks are inside, the detector is typically placed as shown above. If the tanks are outside, the detector is typically placed at the connection points of the conduit.

3.3 Wiring Connections

Operations

4.1 Power up
The CD-6B cycles through an internal self-test cycle for the first minute that it is powered. The unit will execute the test cycle any time power is dropped and reapplied (i.e. power failure).
During the entire self-test cycle the indicator LED will flash green.
The display will flash between “Cd6b” and the firmware version for the first 2 seconds, then count down from 60 to 0 (if the display setting (dSP) is “On”).
The Alarm 1 Relay will be active for the entire power on sequence (if PUt is on). The Alarm 2 Relay and Alarm 3 Relay will be activated for the first 10 seconds of power on (if PUt is on).
When the display countdown reaches 0, the unit will take its first sample of air and the indicator LED will turn solid green indicating the completion of the power up test.

4.2 Awareness Alarm
The Awareness Alarm is set at 0.50% vol and is not user configurable. When the gas reading is equal to or greater than 0.50% vol, the unit indicates an Awareness Alarm.
During an Awareness Alarm, the buzzer will beep every 60 seconds. If the display is ON, the display will flash the gas reading.

NOTE: The Awareness Alarm has the lowest alarm priority.

4.6 Alarm Behavior
4.6.1 Alarm Priority
From lowest to highest, the alarm priority is as follows: Awareness Alarm, Alarm 1, Alarm 2, Alarm 3, Trouble Fault.
For example, the trouble condition has the highest priority. Therefore, when there is an occurrence of an alarm and a trouble condition at the same time, the unit behavior (buzzer, display and power LED) will follow the trouble condition.
4.6.2 Display turned “On”
With the display function turned “On”,

  • Clean Air – and in clean air, the display will show the current concentration of CO2 in the air.
    Note: CO2 in “clean air” will not show 0 as normal atmospheric CO2 levels are between 0.03% and 0.05%.

  • Awareness Alarm – and the CO2 percentage reaching 0.50%, the display will flash “gas reading”. The buzzer will sound (beep every 60 seconds) if “bUZ” is turned “On”.

  • Alarm 1 level – and the CO2 percentage reaching the Alarm 1 Relay setting, the display will flash between “ALr1” and “current gas reading”. The buzzer will sound (beep every second) if “bUZ” is turned “On”.

  • Alarm 2 level – and the CO2 percentage reaching the Alarm 2 Relay setting, the display will flash between “ALr2” and “current gas reading”. The buzzer will sound (beep every second) if “bUZ” is turned “On”.

  • Alarm 3 level – and the CO2 percentage reaching the Alarm 3 Relay setting, the display will flash between “ALr3” and “current gas reading”. The buzzer will sound (beep every second) if “bUZ” is turned “On”.

  • Trouble –and the device in a trouble state, the display will show the “t” Error code (t01 for example). If the Trouble Fan Setting “tFS” is enabled, the Alarm 1 Relay will activate. See section 5.1.2 “t” Error Codes and section 4.5.11 Trouble Fan Setting – “tFS”.
    • Calibration Due – With Calibration Period functionality enabled, if a detector is within 1 month of calibration period, the display will flash between “dUE” and current gas reading. Calibration Due is resolved only with a successful field calibration.

4.6.3 Display turned “Off”
With the display function turned off,

  • Clean Air – and in clean air, the display does not show the CO2 concentration. Only the Power indicator light on will be on.

  • Awareness Alarm – and the CO2 percentage reaching 0.50%, the display will show nothing. The buzzer will sound (beep every 60 seconds) if “bUZ” is turned “On”.

  • Alarm 1 Level – and the CO2 percentage reaching the Alarm 1 Relay setting, the display will show “ALr1”.
    The buzzer will sound (beep every second) if “bUZ” is turned “On”.

  • Alarm 2 Level – and the CO2 percentage reaching the Alarm 2 Relay setting, the display will show “ALr2”.
    The buzzer will sound (beep every second) if “bUZ” is turned “On”.

  • Alarm 3 Level – and the CO2 percentage reaching the Alarm 3 Relay setting, the display will show “ALr3”.
    The buzzer will sound (beep every second) if “bUZ” is turned “On”.

  • Trouble – and the device in a trouble state, the display will display the “t” Error code (t01 for example). If the Trouble Fan Setting “tFS” is enabled, the Alarm 1 Relay will activate. See section 5.1.2 “t” Error Codes and section 4.5.11 Trouble Fan Setting – “tFS”.

  • Calibration Due – With Calibration Period functionality enabled, if a detector is within 1 month of calibration period, the display will show “dUE” continuously. Calibration Due is resolved only with a successful field calibration.

4.7 Relay Latching
Each alarm relay has the relay latching option. This controls the alarm behavior after an alarm has been activated and the gas concentration returns below the alarm level.
Latching On – When the relay latching option is set to “On” and the gas concentration triggers the alarm, the relay will not deactivate when the gas concentration drops below the alarm level. The power will need to be interrupted or the “ENTER/TEST” button pressed to un-latch (turn off) the relay condition.
When a relay is latched and the reading is below the Alarm threshold or recovered from trouble, the display will flash between “ALrX” and “gas reading” (when display is ON) or solid “ALrX” (when display is OFF) where X is 1,2 or 3 corresponding to Alarm Relay 1, 2 or 3.
Latching Off – With the relay latching option set to “OFF” and the gas concentration dropping below the alarm level, the relays will de-activate and the buzzer will stop.
NOTE: When tFS is “On”, then Alarm Relay 1 is controlled by both A1S and Trouble. So, with tFS “On” and A1L “On” (Alarm Relay 1 set to latched), Alarm Relay 1 will also be latched when the unit goes into trouble.

Troubleshooting

5.1 On-Board Diagnostics
The CD-6B monitors all critical functions of the unit through software diagnostics that continuously test and verify unit operations.

5.1.1 Trouble Condition
If a problem is found, the unit will switch to a fail-safe/error mode or trouble condition. In this error mode, the

  • Alarm 1 Relay will be activated if tFS is On.
  • unit will display the error code.
  • green status indicator LED light will flash.
  • buzzer will chirp intermittently.

To clear this mode, turn off power to the unit for a few seconds or push the ENTER/TEST button (inside the unit).
This will cause the unit to restart the 1-minute self-test cycle.

5.1.2 “t” Error Codes
During a trouble condition, the display will show a “t” error code. Trouble is indicated on display by alternating every second “t XX” and “tYYY”, if XX is not zero, or “tYYY” only if XX is zero. Table 1 below shows the description of the problem associated with each “t” error code.

tXX|
---|---
t 01|  Sensor Fatal Error (transmitted by the sensor) or Wrong Sensor Type (happens when firmware detects that a 5 %VOL sensor is not installed
t 02| Sensor Offset Regulation Error (transmitted by the sensor)
t 04| Sensor Algorithm Error (transmitted by the sensor)
t 08| Sensor Output Error (transmitted by the sensor)
 t 10| Sensor Self Diagnostic Error (transmitted by the sensor)
t 20| Sensor Out of Range Error (transmitted by the sensor)
t 40| Sensor Memory Error (transmitted by the sensor)
t 80| Calibration overdue* (set by firmware)

t001|  Missing Sensor (At Power Up only)
t004|  EEPROM bad checksum
t008|  Modbus communication error (during normal operation)
t010|  Bad EEPROM
t020|  Bad calibration
t040|  Factory calibration failure: temperature, zero, span or never calibrated
t080|  Factory pressure sensor fail
t100|  Under range
t200|  Sensor expired  (see section 5.3 End-of-Life Signal to resolve error)
t400|  Pressure sensor fault
t800|  Board not tested

Table 5-1 ”t” Error Code Descriptions

If the trouble condition repeats frequently, check for continuous power and proper voltage. If power is not the problem and a unit has repeating trouble conditions, it may need to be returned to Macurco for service, per these User Instructions.
Multiple Error Codes – If multiple error codes occur simultaneously, the different error codes will be added together into one combined error code. For example, “t 08” and “t 80” occurring simultaneously will display as “t 88”.
If the sum for a digit (ones, tens or hundreds) is greater than 9, it will display the corresponding hexadecimal representation (see Table 2 – Decimal to Hexadecimal conversion below) of the sum. For example, if “t 02” and t “08” exist at same time, the unit will display “t 0A” (2 +8 = 10 and the hexadecimal equivalent of 10 = A). Similarly, if “t 40” and “t 80” exist at the same time, the unit will display “t c0”. This applies for both “t XX” and “tYYY” error codes.

5.2 Sensor Poisons
Unlike traditional catalytic bead and electrochemical sensors, IR sensors use a light source and a receptor to detect a specific gas. Therefore, the sensor is less likely to be affected by inhibitors or poison significantly enhancing safety and sensor life.

5.3 End-of-Life Signal
The non-replaceable infrared sensor (IR Sensor) of the CD-6B has a long life. Fifteen (15) years after the CD-6B is installed, the sensor end-of-life signal will be activated indicating that the CD-6B has reached the end of its typical usable life. The end-of-life signal will cause an error code t200 “Sensor expired”. See section 5.1.2 “t” Error Codes.
The end-of-life signal can be silenced for 48 hours by pressing the ENTER/TEST button or by temporarily dropping power to the unit. The end-of-life signal provides the user an opportunity to test and/or calibrate the sensor assuring that it is still performing within acceptable parameters though the sensor is nearing the end of its expected life. The silence function will continue to be available for 29 days after the CD-6B initiates the initial end-of-life signal. After this 29-day period, the CD-6B can no longer be silenced, and the unit must be replaced.
WARNING
Do not disassemble unit or attempt to repair or modify any component of this instrument. This instrument contains no user serviceable parts, and substitution of components may impair product performance.

Maintenance

The CD-6B is low maintenance. The unit uses a long life NDIR sensor that has a 15-year life expectancy (in normal conditions).
All maintenance and repair of products manufactured by Macurco are to be performed at the appropriate Macurco manufacturing facility. Macurco does not sanction any third-party repair facilities.

6.1 Calibration
The CD-6B uses an optional automated background calibration “Abc” to set the clean air level. The CD-6B will maintain accuracy if it is exposed to the “clean air reference value” (this reference value is the lowest concentration to which the sensor is exposed) at least once per week.
NOTE: This applies when used in the typical indoor ambient air with weekly unoccupied periods.
If automated background calibration “Abc” is disabled, manual calibration at regular intervals will be required to reliably maintain accuracy (See section 7 Testing). The device can be set to issue calibration reminders using the Calibration Period “CAL” setting (see section 4.8.16).

6.2 Sensor Life Reset
The Sensor Life can be extended only by 1 year, so the sensor life reset option is not available once the extended 1 year is over.
After resetting the sensor life, the unit will still indicate a “t 80” error and will need to be calibrated before it can be used for the extended 1-year life.

To reset the sensor life,

  1. Remove the Philips screw on the front of the CD-6B. Pull the front cover of the unit off.
  2. From normal mode, press NEXT four times. The display will show “SEn” or Sensor Mode.
  3. Press ENTER. The display will show “rSt” or Reset Sensor Mode.
  4. Press ENTER to see the sensor reset status.
  5. If the sensor life has already been reset, “don” will be displayed. If it has not been reset, “no” will be displayed. Press NEXT to change it to “YES” (flashing).
  6. Press ENTER to confirm the change (solid) and press ENTER again to return to “rSt” in the “SEn” menu.
  7. Press NEXT until “End” is displayed then press ENTER to get back to normal operation. The sensor life will be reset for 1 year.

6.3 Cleaning
Cleaning of the external surfaces is best carried out using a damp cloth with a mild detergent or soap. Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to remove dust or contamination under the cover. Do not blow out the sensor with compressed air.
CAUTION
Avoid the use of harsh cleaning materials, abrasives and other organic solvents. Such materials may permanently scratch the surfaces and damage the display window, labels, sensor or instrument housing. High voltage terminals (100-240VAC) are located within this detector, presenting a hazard to service technicians. Only qualified technicians should open the detector case and service the internal circuits. Ensure power is removed from the detector prior to cleaning the unit.

Testing

WARNING
Using a certified gas with a concentration other than the one listed for this detector when conducting a calibration verification test (bump test) will produce inaccurate readings. This means that higher levels of the gas being monitored may be present and could  result in overexposure. For proper use, see supervisor or User manual, or contact Technical Support at 1-844-325-3050.
All CD-6B units are factory calibrated and 100% tested for proper operation. During normal operation, the green status indicator LED light will be on steady and the alarm relays will be in standby mode.
The unit also performs a regular automatic self-test during normal operation. If the unit detects an improper voltage or inoperable component, it will default into Error mode. In error mode, the Alarm 1 Relay will be activated if tFS is On, the unit will display the error code, the green status indicator LED light will flash, and the buzzer will chirp intermittently.

7.1 Testing
Before performing a test, check that the green CD-6B status indicator LED light is illuminated continuously. If not, do not proceed with the tests. If the unit is in error mode, contact your local representative or Macurco technical support representative for information on resolving the problem.

7.2 Calibration Kit

WARNING
The following steps must be performed when conducting a calibration verification test (bump test) and calibration to ensure proper performance of the monitor. Failure to do so may adversely affect product performance.

  • When performing a calibration verification test (bump test) and calibration only use certified calibration gas at the required concentration level.
  • Do not test with expired calibration gas.
  • Do not cover or obstruct display or visual alarm cover.
  • Ensure sensor inlets are unobstructed and are free of debris

Failure to follow instructions outlined in this user manual can result in sickness or death.
A Field Calibration Kit, CD6B-FCK, is needed to complete a field calibration. These are available through local distribution.

  • Gas cylinder –
    • 17L 400 ppm carbon dioxide (CO2) in air
    • 17L 5% volume carbon dioxide (CO2) in air
  • Gas regulator 0.2 LPM
  • About two feet of tubing
  • CD-6-CH calibration hood
  • Carry case

FCK Information
Several detectors can be calibrated with one FCK. The only limitation is the amount of gas in the cylinder. The 17- liter cylinder has approximately 85 minutes of continuous calibration run time. Replacement cylinders are available.
The gas cylinder should be replaced when the pressure gauge on the regulator shows 25-psi or less or has reached its expiration date.

NOTE: For optimum calibration results, it is suggested that the unit be in clean air, green light on, and be in a low ambient air flow.
NOTE: CD-6B must be tested or calibrated at regular intervals in accordance with the requirements of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 720 or local code requirements. It is recommended to test or calibrate CD-6B at least annually.

7.3 Gas Testing

7.3.1 Testing the Alarm Relays
NOTE: The CO2 concentration required to activate the alarm relays depends on the alarm relay settings.

  1. Connect the 5% vol. cylinder of carbon dioxide to the regulator.

  2. Check the pressure gauge on the regulator. If you have 25-psi or less, you will need to replace the gas canister. Check the expiration date on the cylinder, if it has passed the expiration date the cylinder should be replaced.

  3. Place the Test Hood over the CO2 sensor. Turn on the regulator to start the gas flow.

  4. The alarm relays should activate according to the settings.

  5. With the display function turned “On” and the CO2 concentration reaching the Alarm 1 Relay setting, the display will flash between “ALr1 and “current gas reading”. The buzzer will sound indicating “Alarm” if the buzzer is turned “On”. With the display function turned off the display does not show the CO2 concentration but will show “ALr1” when the Alarm 1 relay is activated.
    NOTE: If the Alarm relay fails to operate within 2 minutes, there are four possibilities:
    a. The detector has the alarm relay disabled (diS). Set the desired Alarm relay to 1.5% and repeat the test.
    b. The gas cylinder is empty, check the pressure gauge. Replace the gas cylinder if 25-psi or less.
    c. Unit needs to be re-calibrated (automated background calibration or manual calibration and retest).
    d. The detector needs servicing (return unit to the factory for servicing).

  6. Remove the gas from the sensor and replace the top cover.

7.3.2 Aerosol Test
Macurco does not currently have an aerosol option for testing the CD-6B.

7.4 Field Calibration
If automated background calibration is disabled, a periodic manual field calibration will be required. The CD-6B has a top-level menu “CAL” that can be used to perform a field calibration.
NOTE: The “CAL” menu is not available when “Abc” is turned “On”.

7.4.1 Field Calibration Procedure
For optimum calibration results the unit should be in clean air and be in a low ambient air flow.

To perform a field calibration,

  1. Remove the Philips screw on the front of the CD-6B. Remove the front cover.

  2. Open the Field Calibration Kit. Connect the 400-ppm carbon dioxide gas cylinder to the regulator.

  3. Check the pressure gauge on the regulator. If you have 25-psi or less, you will need to replace the gas canister. Check the expiration date on the cylinder, if it has passed the expiration date the cylinder should be replaced.

  4. Assemble regulator, hose, and Calibration Hood and place the hood over the CO2 sensor.

  5. Turn on the regulator to start the gas flow and wait with the gas applied continuously.

  6. On the detector press the MENU/NEXT button three times to get to the “CAL” menu.

  7.  Press the ENTER/TEST button.

  8. The display will show “tSC” (if automated background calibration “Abc” is turned OFF). Press MENU/NEXT to go to “Spn”.

  9. Press ENTER/TEST.

  10. Calibration starts and the following sequence will be observed:
    a. c119 and 0.04 flashing and green LED blinking, where the value after c decreases by 2 with every flash
    b. After c90 it will flash between current gas reading and c90, where the value after c decreases by 2 every flash
    c. After 2 minutes, the display will count down showing “CAL7”, “CAL6”, “CAL5”, “CAL4”, “CAL3”, “CAL2”, “CAL1”.
    d. The display will show “PASS” alternating with “0.04” after successful field calibration.
    e. Green LED flashes for another 1 minute.
    f. When green LED is solid, the LED display also goes back to normal displaying the current gas reading.

  11. If the calibration fails, the display will flash between “gas reading” and “FAil” for 30 seconds.
    NOTE: The “bad calibration” error code will only be cleared by a successful calibration of the sensor.
    If calibration failure occurs, check the pressure gauge on the regulator. If the pressure is less than 25 psi, the flow of gas may not be adequate to properly calibrate the unit. If there is proper pressure in the cylinder repeat steps 5 through 12. If the unit fails to calibrate twice contact Technical Support: 1-844-325-3050.
    NOTE: It is critical to confirm 400ppm CO2 gas is used for calibration.

  12. Once the calibration has passed, remove gas and disassemble the cylinder and regulator.

  13. Re-assemble the CD-6B (make sure the LED is aligned with the front case hole).

  14. See Calibration Flowchart on the inside of the housing, or section 9.5 CAL Menu.

7.4.2 Time Since Calibration
The CD-6B records the length of time since the last calibration.
NOTE: Time since calibration “tSC” is visible only when the “Abc” option in the configuration menu (see section 4.8.15) is set to “OFF”.

To view the time since calibration,

  1. Press MENU/NEXT three times to get to the “CAL” menu.
  2. Press ENTER/TEST.
  3. The display will show “tSC” (only if automated background calibration “Abc” is turned OFF). Press ENTER/TEST.
  4. The display will show the time since calibration. The value is displayed in the format Y.MM where “Y” is number of years and “MM” is number of months. For example, 1 year and 6 months will be displayed “1.06”.
  5. Press ENTER/TEST to return to the “CAL” menu.
