Installation
Antistatic precautions must be observed when handling these sensors. The PCB contains circuitry that can be damaged by static discharge.
Note: Sontays range of CO sensors are not to be used in domestic applications
1. Select a location in the duct where dust & contaminants are at a minimum (i.e. after filters etc.) and which will give a representative sample of the prevailing air condition.
2. Fix the housing to the duct with appropriate screws, or by using the optional duct mounting flange.
3. Release the snap-fit lid by gently squeezing the locking tab and feed the cable through the waterproof gland and terminate the cores at the terminal block. Leaving some slack inside the unit, tighten the cable gland onto the cable to ensure water tightness.
4. If the sensor is to be mounted outside, it is recommended that the unit be mounted with the cable entry at the bottom. If the cable is fed from above then into the cable gland at the bottom, it is recommended that a rain loop be placed in the cable before entry into the sensor.
5. Set the switch on the PCB either to the 3-wire or 2-wire position. Snap shut the lid after the connections have been made. If IP65 protection is required, secure the lid with two screws provided.
IMPORTANT! Do not alter the switch position while sensor is powered up. Do not select 2-wire if a 0v connection (3-wire) is made. Permanent damage to the sensor or BMS controller may result.
IMPORTANT! Make sure the Terminal Block is fitted the correct position and direction. The cable entry faces the centre of the sensor.
6. Connect all sensor outputs to the controller inputs or to the device, the sensor output(s) are connected to.
7. Before powering the sensor, ensure that the supply voltage is within the specified tolerances.
IMPORTANT! It is important to make all electrical output connections before applying the supply voltage. If the sensor is not connected in this sequence, damage may be caused to the input circuitry of the controller or device the sensor output(s) are connected to.
8. Allow 3 minutes before checking functionality, and at least 30 minutes before carrying out pre-commissioning checks. This will allow the electronics time to stabilise. The CO electronics require at least 24h continues operation in clean air before any accuracy tests can be performed.

Terminal Blocks
For easier installation, the terminal block can be detached from the PCB.
When used with ferrules it doesn’t require any tools to release the spring loaded terminal block. When used with stranded cable, push in the orange latch to compress the spring load. Feed in the wire and release the spring to secure the wire connection.
IMPORTANT! Make sure the Terminal Block is fitted the correct position and direction. The cable entry faces the centre of the sensor.
Selecting Output Mode & LED Indication
IMPORTANT! Do not alter the switch position while sensor is powered up. Do not select 2-wire if a 0V connection (3-wire) is made. Permanent damage to the sensor or BMS controller may result.
3-wire connection: Ensure there is no power to the sensor before changing the switch. Set the switch in the left hand position. The sensor autom atically sets the outputs to 0-10V or 4-20mA based on the resistive load on the outputs. All outputs MUST be connected to the same type of load:
If ALL the loads are >2k2Ω, all the outputs will be set to 0-10Vdc and the green 0-10V LED will light. If ALL the loads are >50Ω and <550Ω, all the outputs will be set to 4-20mA and the orange 4-20mA LED will light. If ANY of the loads are <50Ω or >550 and < 2k2Ω, all the outputs will be switched off and the red ERROR LED will light.
Output 1 is checked first, and if it has determined what this output is set to it will assume that all other enabled outputs are connected to similar loads. The LEDs will switch off after 15 minutes.
2-wire connection: Ensure there is no power to the sensor before changing the switch and do not connect 0V. Set the switch in the right hand position. All outputs MUST be connected. The blue LOOP LED will light.
Self-Test Button
The self-test button helps the installer to validate the wiring for each output and helps to commission the system.
When self-test button is pushed it cycles all outputs as follows: 0%, 50%, 100%, normal operation. After 30 seconds in any mode the system resets to normal operation.
When self-test button is held for more than 3 seconds, it sets all outputs to 50%, when released the outputs return to normal operation.
