Introduction

The CO2 Sensor measures CO2 levels in an agricultural environment. Working in conjunction with a controller, the CO2 Sensor sends a signal when the measured CO2 levels fall outside the user-defined specifications. This signal activates the controller’s ventilation.

Figure 1: CO2 Sensor

NOTE The unit comes supplied with a 12 VDC supply.

Features

• Self-contained environment and impact-resistant sealed box
• Quick open clasps
• Easy installation
• Simple to connect and configure
• Continuous uninterrupted CO2 sensing
• Diagnostic LEDs
• Door-mounted sensor

Operating Mode

The CO2 Sensor operates in a Current Loop mode (4 – 20 milliamps). In this mode, the CO2 Sensor provides a signal proportional to CO2 levels.
Verify that J2 is not shorted (refer to Figure 2).

Installation

This section details:

• Installing the Sensor
• Controller Connection
• Calibrating the Device
• Disconnecting the Sensor

Installing the Sensor

The CO2 Sensor comes with an extension cable that is used to:

• Connect the sensor to a power source
• Connect the sensor to the Green Climate Controller
• Detach the unit from the house during cleaning and maintenance procedures (Disconnecting the Sensor, page 13)

Figure 3: CO2 Sensor Attached to Connector

To install the unit:

1. Mount the sensor in place.
2. On the female plug, remove the retaining screw from the protective cover (Figure 4).

Figure 4: Protective Cover

3. Pull out the connector from the protective cover (Figure 5).

Figure 5: Remove the Connector

4. Place the cable through the protective cover (Figure 6).

Figure 6: Threading the Cable

5. On the top of the connector are numbers (Figure 7. Each wire must be attached to the corresponding port (Table 1). Connect the four wires to the connector Figure 8.

Controller Connection

Figure 10: RAIC11 – CO2 Connector Wiring (example)

Place a jumper on the 4 – 20 mA on the corresponding jumper selection. In the above drawing, the input wire is attached to IN1; the jumper would be placed on INPUT 1 4 – 20 mA.
The Green Climate Controller supplies the VAC current. Refer to Figure 11.

Calibrating the Device

Figure 12: Jumpers

The C02 sensor comes calibrated. In normal conditions fresh air should have approximately 350 – 450 ppm CO2. Calibrate the device if the following conditions are met:

• The CO2 sensor is exposed to fresh air or a room with open windows
• The sensor reading is above 550

To calibrate the sensor:

1. If connected, disconnect the device from the controller.
2. Place the sensor on a steady base (in an area with fresh air or in a room with open windows).
3. Apply 12V DC power.
4. Operate the CO2 sensor for five minutes to stabilize the device.
5. Using the supplied jumper, short the Background jumpers for 10 seconds as shown in Figure 13.

Figure 13: Shorting the Background Jumpers

6. Remove the jumper.
7. Disconnect the power and (re)connect the sensor to the controller.

CAUTION Do not short the Zero jumpers; they are for factory-calibration only. If shorted, remove the jumper and calibrate again.
NOTE If the device reading is still above 550 when exposed to fresh air, repeat the process.

Disconnecting the Sensor

Before cleaning the poultry/animal house, disconnect the CO2 sensor.
To disconnect the sensor:
1. Dismount the sensor from the wall.
2. Separate the male and female plugs.

Figure 14: Plugs Separated

3. Place the plug cap on the female cap.

Figure 15: Cap in Place

4. Snap the cap into place.

Figure 16: Cap Snapped into Place

Maintenance and Care

The CO2 Sensor requires little or no maintenance.
The following are general maintenance rules:

• Avoid damaging the CO2 Sensor box
• Avoid contact with water or other fluids (when you clean the poultry house, remove the box)
• Ensure sensor grill on front box panel is clean and clear of obstructions
  NOTE Water may damage the sensor; therefore minimize exposure while washing, or using water for any purpose.

Specifications

Warranty

Warranty and technical assistance

Munters products are designed and built to provide reliable and satisfactory performance but cannot be guaranteed free of faults; although they are reliable products they can develop unforeseeable defects and the user must take this into account and arrange adequate emergency or alarm systems if failure to operate could cause damage to the articles for which the Munters plant was required: if this is not done, the user is fully responsible for the damage which they could suffer.

Munters extends this limited warranty to the first purchaser and guarantees its products to be free from defects originating in manufacture or materials for one year from the date of delivery, provided that suitable transport, storage, installation and maintenance terms are complied with. The warranty does not apply if the products have been repaired without express authorization from Munters, or repaired in such a way that, in Munters’ judgment, their performance and reliability have been impaired, or incorrectly installed, or subjected to improper use. The user accepts total responsibility for incorrect use of the products.

The warranty on products from outside suppliers fitted to the CO2 Sensor, (for example analog inputs, cables, etc.) is limited to the conditions stated by the supplier: all claims must be made in writing within eight days of the discovery of the defect and within 12 months of the delivery of the defective product. Munters has thirty days from the date of receipt in which to take action, and has the right to examine the product at the customer’s premises or at its own plant (carriage cost to be borne by the customer).

In the case of faulty parts of small commercial value which are widely available (such as bolts, etc.) for urgent dispatch, where the cost of carriage would exceed the value of the parts, Munters may authorize the customer exclusively to purchase the replacement parts locally; Munters will reimburse the value of the product at its cost price.

Munters will not be liable for costs incurred in demounting the defective part, or the time required to travel to site and the associated travel costs.
