1Introduction
This Document details how to configure the RL4512 CO2and Temperature Sensor Unit from
Ellab Monitoring Solutions Ltd for use in conjunction with the EMS application.
The RL4512 Unit is a Dual Channel Transmitter with channels for CO2and Temperature data
inputs from their respective sensors/probes.
The RL4512 Unit also has an on-board Data Logging facility. This facility can provide a data
backup capability in the event of a transmission or power failure or other interruption to the
flow of data from the Unit to EMS.
•Data is transmitted/uploaded to EMS from the Unit at defined Transmission Intervals,
either directly or via an SR2 Controller.
The current CO2and Temperature values, battery voltage and, optionally, the Alarm Status are
also displayed on the Unit’s LCD screen.
1.1 Pre-requisites
You will need the following to enable communication between EMS and the RL4512 Unit:
•Y055 USB lead.
•EMS application installed on a PC/Server.
•EMS Remote Management Tools
If the RL4512 Unit can be physically connected to the PC/Server with EMS installed or if
EMS is installed on a Virtual Machine (VM) or a Remote Server.
•Upgrade Disk
Installations running EMS Version 1.7.0 or lower must run this disk and follow the
instructions in the ReadMe.txt file before adding the Sensor Unit to EMS.

2.1 Sensor Unit Battery
WARNING!
The RL4512 Series Sensor is powered by a 12V mains power supply which MUST remain
connected during normal operation.
When the Unit is not in use, the Battery Link, located on the Unit’s PCB, MUST be moved to
the position shown in Figure 2 below to disconnect the battery and prevent it discharging.

Disconnected
Connected
Figure 2 - Battery Jumper Link
The Unit’s internal battery is ONLY provided as a reserve backup power supply to prevent
the RL4512 from losing logged data during the following operations, which may require the
Unit to be disconnected from the mains supply:
•Initial setup of the Unit.
•Downloading logged data following a transmission or power failure.
•Any change of the Unit’s configuration.

Note: The internal battery is soldered in and is not replaceable by the customer. If the battery
becomes discharged, the Logging functionality will no longer work and the Unit will
have to be sent back to Ellab Monitoring Solutions for battery replacement.
2.2 Mounting the Sensor
A wall-mounting bracket is available for the RL4512 Unit (Code: Y119). It comprises a metal
strip which is fitted to the wall.
•To mount the RL4512 Unit on the bracket, line up the slots on the back of the Unit with
the tabs on the bracket and click the Unit into place.
•To remove the RL4512 Unit from the bracket, gently press the tag at the bottom of the
Unit’s case towards the wall, using a small screwdriver or similar, and lift the Unit free.
2.3 Radio Testing Dongle
This is an optional plug-in device (Code: Y058).
When connected to the RL4512’s USB socket, it overrides the Unit’s configured Transmit
Interval and forces the Unit to send a transmission every five seconds.
2.4 Compliance
The RL4512 Unit has been designed to comply with the RoHS and WEEE EU Directives and
carries the CE mark.

3Setting up the RL4512 Unit with EMS
For information on the addition of the RL4512’s details to EMS, please refer to the EMS Online
User Guide, in particular the section System Configuration - Sensors:
http://www.help.emsprocloud.com/index.html?system-configuration-sensors.html
•The RL4512 Unit should be added as a CO2/Thermistor sensor.
Note: Default Temperature Calibration values are already configured/entered into the Unit
and will not need changing.
3.1 Entering a Sensor/Probe’s Calibration Settings into EMS versions 1.0.9 and
later.
Note: For details on entering Calibration Settings into EMS prior to Version 1.0.9, please
refer to Appendix A.
