Description

This section describes the components of the CO2 transmitter. The transmitter is a 4 - 20 mA type

detector head. It consists of the CO2 detector, amplifier, and junction box.

Figure 1: CO2 Transmitter Component Location

Infrared CO2 Detector

The CO2 detector is made up of a miniature infrared CO2 detector housed and encapsulated in a pipe

nipple. The pipe nipple has 3/4 NPT threads on each end and a 1 1/4” hex that allows removal or

installation of the detector with a wrench. A porous flame arrestor that is coated with a hydrophobic

film that repels liquids is on one end of the detector and allows sample gas to enter the detector. Four

color coded leads, red, white, green, and black, extend from the other end of the detector. The leads

allow you to connect the detector to the amplifier.

To distinguish the different ranges of CO2 detectors from one another, a short length of shrink tubing is

applied to the wiring where it comes out of the nipple. The following table indicates the color of the

shrink tubing and the color of the wire to which it is applied.

Amplifier

The amplifier converts the electrical output from the detector to a 4 to 20 mA signal that corresponds

to the detection range and transmits the signal to a gas monitoring controller. A foam gasket that

orients the amplifier and keeps it from rotating is installed on the bottom of the amplifier. The

amplifier includes the detector terminal strip, controller terminal strip, span pot, zero pot, and test

points (see Figure 1).

Controller Terminal Strip

The controller terminal strip is a three position plug-in style terminal strip located near the top of the

amplifier. Use the controller terminal strip to wire the CO2 transmitter to a controller.

Detector Terminal Strip

The detector terminal strip is a four position plug-in style terminal strip located below the controller

terminal strip. Use the detector terminal strip to connect the CO2 detector to the amplifier.

NOTE: The IR CO2 detector is factory-wired to the detector terminal strip. See “Wiring the CO2

Transmitter to a Controller” on page 9 for all wiring procedures related to the transmitter.

Zero Pot

The zero pot is located in the upper left corner of the amplifier (see Figure 1). Use a small flat blade

screwdriver to turn the zero pot’s adjustment screw and adjust the amplifier’s target gas-free output

during the start-up and calibration procedures. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to increase the

zero output and counterclockwise to decrease the zero output.

Span Pot

The span pot is located to the right of the zero pot (see Figure 1). Use a small flat blade screwdriver to

turn the span pot’s adjustment screw and adjust the amplifier’s gas response output during the

calibration procedure. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to increase the gas response and

counterclockwise to decrease the gas response.

CAUTION: The amplifier includes two additional potentiometers. They are factory-set. Do not adjust

them.

Test Points

The test points are on the left side of the amplifier (see Figure 1). The test points produce a 100 mV to

500 mV output that corresponds to the transmitter’s 4 to 20 mA output. Use the test points and a

voltmeter to measure the amplifier’s output during the start-up and calibration procedures. The black

test point in the lower left corner is the negative (-) test point and the red test point below the zero pot

is the positive (+) test point.

Junction Box

Use the junction box to install the transmitter at a mounting site that is remote from the controller. The

junction box protects the amplifier and wiring connections made to the amplifier. Use the top 3/4 NPT

conduit hub to connect wiring from the amplifier to the controller. Use the cover on the front of the

junction box to access the interior of the junction box. The detector and amplifier are factory installed

in the junction box. Three spacers installed on the back of the junction box control the distance of the

junction box from a mounting surface and ensure that there is enough room to install a calibration cup

on the detector during calibration.

Installation

This section describes procedures to mount the CO2 transmitter in the monitoring environment and

wire the transmitter to a controller.

Mounting the CO2 Transmitter

1. Select a mounting site that is representative of the monitoring environment. Consider the

following when you select the mounting site.

• Select a site where the transmitter is not likely to be bumped or disturbed. Make sure there is

sufficient room to perform start-up, maintenance, and calibration procedures.

• Mount the transmitter at least six feet from the floor to minimize the possibility of someone

breathing on the unit. The exhaled CO2 may cause an alarm.

2. At the monitoring site you select, hang or mount the junction box with the detector facing down

(see Figure 2).

Wiring the CO2 Transmitter to a Controller

WARNING: Always verify that the power to the controller is off before you make wiring

connections.

1. Turn off the controller.

2. Turn off or unplug power to the controller.

3. Remove the junction box cover.

WARNING: To maintain the explosion proof classification of the CO2detector/junction box

combination, a conduit seal must be used within 18 inches of the junction box conduit

hub used for wiring to the controller. Adhere to your local electrical code when

installing the conduit seal.

4. The detector leads are factory wired. Verify that the detector leads are wired to the amplifier’s

detector terminal strip as shown in Figure 3.

5. To gain access to a plug-in terminal strip for wiring, pull it out of its socket by grasping the

terminal strip and pulling. The detector strip is keyed so that the controller and detector terminal

strips cannot be reversed inadvertently.

6. Guide a three-conductor, shielded cable, or three wires in conduit through the top conduit hub of

the junction box.

7. Pull out the controller terminal strip, and connect the three wires to the terminal strip as follows

(see Figure 3).

• Connect the positive wire to the PWR/SIG “+” terminal.

• Connect the signal wire to the PWR/SIG “S” terminal.

• Connect the negative wire to the PWR/SIG “-” terminal.

CAUTION: If shielded cable is used, leave the cable shield’s drain wire disconnected and insulated at

the transmitter. You will connect the opposite end of the cable’s drain wire to the

controller’s chassis (earth) ground.

8. Reinstall the controller terminal strip into its socket.

9. Secure the junction box cover to the junction box.

10. Route the cable or wires leading from the CO2 transmitter through one of the conduit hubs at the

controller housing. Use appropriate conduit fittings and construction technique for the

environmental rating of the controller. RKI controllers are typically rated NEMA 4X, are not

explosion-proof, and must be installed in a non-hazardous location.

CAUTION: Do not route power and transmitter wiring through the same controller conduit hub. The

power cable may disrupt the transmission of the transmitter signal to the controller.

11. Connect the wires to the applicable detector/transmitter terminal strip at the controller as shown in

Figure 3.
