2 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. Refer to Figure 1.

Figure 1: CO2 Sensor Layout NOTE The unit comes supplied with a 12 VDC supply.

2.1 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

2.2 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).

3.2 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.

3.3 Calibrating the Device

Figure 13: 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 14.

12

Figure 14: 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.

3.4 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 15: Plugs Separated 3. Place the plug cap on the female cap.

Figure 16: Cap in Place 4. Snap the cap into place.

4 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.

6 Troubleshooting

The field technician diagnostic LEDs are visual diagnostic indicators for the field technician only. They are not end-user serviceable parts or indicators. Table 2 details possible system failure issues.

Table 2: CO2 Sensor System Failure Issues Problem

Solution

The Sensor Fail LED is lit when CO2 sensing element fails. The Min. Fail or Max. Fail LED is lit: The sensor is out of acceptable range. If the diagnostic LEDs are lit (D2, R12), indicates that the circuit may be incomplete. Readings are off the scale, even when fresh air is present.
Readings are lower than expected.
Power LED remains unlit

Replace CO2 sensing element
Replace CO2 sensing element
Check circuitry for breaks
Verify that there is a jumper on the Green Climate RAIC11 card, placed, set for 4 20 mA (refer to Figure 13). Remove jumper from J2 terminal (refer to Figure 2). Check if power/COM wiring has been reversed (refer to Table 1).
