Carbon Monoxide

Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that is highly toxic.
Synonyms: Carbonous oxide, Carbon (II) oxide, Flue gas, Monoxide.

headache, dizziness, and flu-like effects.
Larger exposures can lead to toxicity of the CNS and heart, and death. After acute poisoning, long-term problems may occur. CO also has negative effects on a baby if exposed during pregnancy. Chronic exposure to low levels can lead to depression, confusion, and memory loss.

Product description

E2638 series detectors-transmitters belong to the PluraSens® family of multifunctional measurement instruments. The instruments utilize gas sensors of various types with excellent repeatability, stability, and long lifetime.
E2638 series provides two independent analog outputs OUT1 and OUT2, user- selectable to 4-20 mA or 0-10 V, proportional to gas concentrations. RS485 Modbus RTU digital communication interface allows easy instrument configuration and integration into various automation systems.
The following features are available as an option:

• Two relays RE1 and RE2 with closing contacts. Relay outputs can be used to switch alarm sirens, ventilation fans, shut-off valves, or other actuators,
• Acoustic (85 dB buzzer) and visual (red and green LED) signaling,
• 24 VAC or 230 VAC as options for power supply module,
• LCD indicator,
• Remote probe.

The version of your device is marked on the package. If the symbol ⚠ is marked on the equipment, consult the documentation for further information.
Safety requirements
Misuse will impair the protection of the product. Always adhere to the safety provisions applicable in the country of use.
Do not perform any maintenance operation with the power on. Do not let water or foreign objects inside the device.
Removal of the PCB from the enclosure voids the warranty. Do not touch the electronic components directly, as they are sensitive to static electricity.
Connection diagrams can be found in the electrical connections section. The device might not perform correctly or be damaged if the wrong power supply is connected.
External circuits connected to the equipment should have sufficient insulation rating according to the environmental conditions and equipment power.
A disconnecting device that is marked as such and easily accessible should be included in the installation of this product.

Operating conditions

The device should be used both in a non-hazardous area and in a basic electromagnetic environment, where the latter is defined in EN 61326-1. Avoid strong mechanical shock and vibrations. Avoid corrosive atmosphere and areas highly contaminated with dust, oil mist, etc. Keep the instrument away from direct sunlight. A sudden temperature or humidity change might affect the sensitivity of the sensor.

Installation guidelines

Before proceeding with the installation it is mandatory to read the Safety requirements section and make sure to comply with all listed instructions. Installation standards EN
60079-29-2 and EN 45544-4 are also recommended for further instructions and related information about the installation. During the installation of the detector-transmitter the following points must be considered:

• Application (air quality control or leakage detection)
• Properties of the space under investigation (room geometry, direction, and velocity of airflows, etc.),
• Carbon monoxide has practically the same density as air and spreads evenly in the room. Install the sensor in proximity to possible leakage or generation source, taking into consideration the temperature of the gas, the air currents in the room, etc.
• The device should be accessible for maintenance and repair.

The aforementioned conditions above will affect the coverage area of the device. however, the coverage area for a transmitter is usually between 2.5 to 5 meters radius.
For early leakage detection install the sensor as close as possible to the potential leakage sources (flanges, valves, pressure reducers, pumps, etc.), taking into consideration other points listed above.
For general area monitoring without definite leakage sources, the detectors should be distributed evenly in the room.
For personal safety control, the detectors are installed in the breathing zone (at the height of the head of people or animals). The recommended sensor position is vertical, pointing downwards.
For installing the device, attach the device to the wall using provided screws through the side mounting holes or key slots (see mountains dimensions).

Sensor probe handling

The E2638 series devices are available with a remote probe. The remote probe is connected to the main unit with a shielded cable. The default remote probe cable length is 3 m.

A )Wall mount remote probe with fixing clamp (default version) ,
B) Remote probe with rubber flange and three self-tapping screws (on request)
The sensor probes of all types are equipped with a hydrophobic microporous PTFE filter to protect the sensor from dust, dirt, and water drops. The filter should be replaced if it gets strongly contaminated. To replace the PTFE filter, unscrew sensor head cap and remove the old filter. Place a new filter into the cap and tighten it again.
NOTE! Never stab or press the filter near its center where the sensor is located since this may damage the sensor. Do not remove the filter as it may cause the device to show incorrect values and/or break the sensor.
The recommended orientation of the sensor probe is vertical with the sensor tip pointing downwards. This prevents the possible accumulation of condensed water on the sensor protection filter.

Gas sensor replacement procedures

1. Remove the sensor head cap from the device (or the remote probe),
2. Remove the PTFE filter (if it is not removed within the cap),
3. Remove the O-ring rubber,
4. Detach the electrochemical sensor from the device,
5. Insert the new electrochemical sensor inside,
6. Put back the O-ring rubber, PTFE filter, and the head cap, respectively.

Electrical connections

Unscrew four lid screws and detach the lid from the device. Use two M16 cable glands to let in the cables of the power supply and of the external devices. Without turning on the power, plug the power cable, and connect the analog/relay outputs and/or digital interface terminals to the necessary devices according to the relevant connection diagram.

The screwless quick connect spring terminals on the E2638 series devices are suitable for a wide range of wires with a cross-section of 0.2…1.5 mm2. We recommend striping the wire end by 8…9 mm and using wire end sleeves.
To connect the wire, insert the wire end into the terminal hole. To disconnect, push the spring-loaded terminal lever, pull the wire out, and release the lever.
Use a twisted-pair cable, e.g. LiYY TP 2×2×0.5 mm2 or CAT 5, to connect the device to the RS485 network. A and B on the device represent DATA+ and DATA- respectively, polarity must be respected when connecting to an external RS485 network.
Both analog outputs can be independently changed between 4-20 mA and 0-10 V type using jumpers J1 (OUT1) and J2 (OUT2). By closing pins on a specific jumper the related output is 0-10 V, with an open jumper the output is 4-20 mA. Power restart is required after changing the position of the jumpers.

NOTE! The outputs are not galvanically isolated from the external power supply and share a common 0V. Allowed load resistance limits are stated in the Specifications table. To power the instrument from an external power source, connect terminals 0V and +U to the source.
If the integrated mains power supply module is used, connect terminals L and N to the mains.
NOTE! Actuator short-circuits should be avoided, to protect the instrument relays, use external fuses or safety switches.

Correct and incorrect cabling for 24 VAC

Operation

Turn on the power. The instrument warm-up time takes about 1 minute after switching on and the final sensor stabilization time to maximum accuracy takes about 30 minutes. The operating status is indicated by the LED on the PCB of the device. The control LED (red) response to different processes is presented in the following table:

on, 50% off)
Relay 1 turned on| Blinking 1 Hz (50% on, 50% off)
Relay 2 turned on| Blinking 2 Hz (50% on, 50% off)
During Modbus communication cycle| Short on-off pulses
Normal operating/measurement| Continuously on or off

Make sure that the detector-transmitter is properly mounted, the external devices connected, power LED (green) on and control LED (red) constantly lit. Place the lid back and fix it with the screws. The device is ready to use.

Maintenance

Do not perform any maintenance operation with the power on.
Clean the device with a soft damp cloth. Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents. Do not immerse the device in water or any cleaning media.
