The CO2 concentration is measured using the dual wavelength NDIR sensor with multiple point adjustment. The dual wavelength NDIR CO2 sensing procedure compensates aging of the sensing element and offers maintenance free operation and outstanding long term stability. Measured
values can be read in „SLOW mode“ (filtered, averaged) or in „FAST mode“ (current values without averaging). SLOW mode has advantages in
applications like climate control because of filtering short time peaks. As an example exhaled air from an employee passing the sensor could affect the climate control negatively with a short response time because the control would trigger a change of the ventilation based on this one-time
measurement. On the contrary in „FAST mode“ no software filter is used for calculating the output value. This fact adds a noise of typ. ±30ppm
which has to be considered in terms of accuracy. The measured value of CO2 concentration depends on the value of air pressure, (the altitude at the place of installation). For this reason, it is suitable for accurate measurement to set the altitude of the installation site by TSensor software
- see below. Measured values are displayed on dual line LCD display. The visual
indication of CO2 concentration is provided by three-color LED. After power up of the device starts internal test. During this time (about
20s) LCD display shows (----) instead of CO2 concentration value. Supported communication protocols are Modbus RTU, protocol compatible
with standard Advantech-ADAM and protocol ARION. Devices are preset from manufacturer to Modbus RTU communication protocol. If you would like to use different communication protocol then Modbus RTU, it is necessary preset them throw user’s software – see below.

Use software Tsensor for setting of all device parameters (recommended). It is free to download at www.cometsystem.cz. It supports make the adjustment of the device too. This procedure is described at file Calibration manual.pdf“ which is installed commonly with the software. Change of some parameters is possible to do without user’s software with Windows hyperterminal (change of communication protocol, its
parameters, LCD display setting). It is described in file “Description of communication protocols ( free to download at www.cometsystem.cz ).
Models marked TxxxxZ are non-standard versions of the transmitters. Description is not included in this manual.

Device installation
Devices are designed for indoor applications. It is recommended to mount them on universal wiring box (common installation box KU68) with using two enclosed mounting screws. For correct function there is necessary to
find proper device place. It shouldn’t be placed at places where it can be
affected by sunshine, near radiators, heating elements and other heat sources, air handlers, windows, doors, into racks and shelves and similar places. For buildings with less thermal insulation there is not suitable to place them on external walls of building. If there are communication conductors placed into conduit, there is strongly recommended make it caulk, to restrict air flow around device.
For devices with RS485 output there is recommended to use shielded twisted copper cable, maximal length 1200m. The cable must be located at indoor rooms. Connect cables to terminals with respecting the signal polarity. Terminals are self-clamping and can be opened by a suitable screwdriver (for the opening, insert the screwdriver to upper terminal hole and lever by him). Nominal cable impedance should be 100 Ω, loop resistance max. 240 Ω, cable capacity max. 65 pF/m. Suitable cable is e.g. SYKFY 2x2x0.5 mm2, where one wire pair serves for device powering and the other pair for communication link. The cable should be led in one line,
i.e. not to „tree“ or „star“. Termination resistor should be located at the end.
For short distance other topology is allowed. Terminate the network by a termination resistor. The value of the resistor is recommended about 120 . For short distance termination resistor can be left out.
The devices with RS232 interface can be powered from external power source only. Maximal communication cable length is restricted to 15 m
The cables should not be led in parallel along power cabling. Safety distance is up to 0.5 m, otherwise undesirable induction of interference signals can appear.
Firstly mount the rear part of the device on the wiring box with two screws and connect cables to terminals. Finish the installation by inserting the front part of the unit.
Electrical system (wiring) may do only worker with required qualification by rules in operation.

Info mode
If in doubt of setting of installed device, verification of its address is enabled even without using computer. Power supply should be connected and jumper should be opened. Jumper is accessible after removing the front part of device (jumper is placed at the right bottom corner at the same side as button). Shortly press button behind small hole on the left side of the device using thin instrument (for example paper clip). Actual adjusted address of the device is displayed on LCD display at decimal base. Next press of button exits info mode and actual measured values are displayed. Devices with RS232 interface have address always set to one. No measurement and communication is possible during info mode. If device stays in info mode for longer than 15 s, device automatically returns to measuring cycle.

Description of communication protocols
Detailed description of each communication protocols including examples
of communication is available in individual document “Description of
communication protocols” which is available at www.cometsystem.cz (see appropriate transmitter pages).
Note: After switching on the power of the device it can last up to 2 s
before the device starts to communicate and measure!
Modbus RTU
Control units communicate on master-slave principle in half-duplex operation. Only master can send request and only addressed device responds. During sending of request no other slave station should respond. During communication, data transfer proceeds in binary format. Each Byte is sent as eight bit data word in format: 1 start bit, data word 8 bit (LSB first), 2 stop bits (device sends two stop bits, for receive one stop bit is enough), without parity. Device supports communication speed from 110Bd to 115200Bd.
Sent request and response have syntax: ADDRESS OF DEVICE – FUNCTION – Modbus CRC
Supported function
03 (0x03): Reading of 16-bit registers (Read Holding Registers) 04 (0x04): Reading of 16-bit input gates (Read Input Registers) 16 (0x10): Setting of more 16-bit registers (Write Multiple Registers)
Jumper and button
If communication protocol Modbus is selected the function of jumper and button is as follows:
Jumper opened – device memory is protected from writing, from device
side it is only enabled to read measured value, writing to memory is disabled (no change of device address, communication speed and LCD setting is enabled )
Page 11
IE-SNC-T83(4)48-03 11
Jumper closed – writing to device memory is enabled by means of
User’s software
Jumper opened and button shortly pressed – device goes to Info mode,
see chapter „Info mode
Jumper closed and button pressed for longer than six seconds – causes
restoring of manufacturer setting of communication protocol, i.e. sets Modbus RTU communication protocol, device address sets to 1 and
communication speed to 9600Bd (after button press there is “dEF” message blinking at LCD display. Six seconds later message “dEF”
stays shown, it means manufacturer setting of communication protocol is done).

register addresses are indexed from zero – register 0x31 is
physically sent as value 0x30, 0x32 as 0x31 (zero based addressing).
Note: In case there is a need for reading of measured values from the
device with higher resolution than one decimal, measured values
in device are stored also in „Float“ format, which is not directly
compatible with IEEE754.
Protocol compatible with Advantech-ADAM standard
Control units communicate on master-slave principle in half-duplex operation. Only master can send requests and only addressed device responds. During sending request any of slave devices should respond. During communication data is transferred in ASCII format (in characters). Each Byte is sent as two ASCII characters. Device supports communication speed from 1200Bd to 115200Bd, parameters of communication link are 1 start bit + eight bit data word (LSB first) + 1 stop bit, without parity.
Jumper
Jumper is located next to connection terminals. If communication protocol compatible with standard Advantech-ADAM is selected, its function is the following:
If jumper during switching ON the power is closed, device always
communicates with following parameters regardless stored setting in the device: communication speed 9600 Bd, without check sum, device address 0.
If jumper is closed during device operation, device temporarily changes
its address to 0, it will communicate in the same communication speed as before closing jumper and will communicate without check sum. After jumper is opened setting of address and check sum is reset in accordance with values stored in the device.
Page 13
IE-SNC-T83(4)48-03 13
If jumper during switching ON the power is not closed, device
communicates in accordance with stored setting.
Communication speed and check sum are possible to change only if
jumper is closed.
Jumper closed and button pressed for longer than six seconds – causes
restoring of manufacturer setting of communication protocol, i.e. sets Modbus RTU communication protocol, device address sets to 1 and
communication speed to 9600Bd (after button press there is “dEF” message blinking at LCD display. Six seconds later message “dEF”
stays shown, it means manufacturer setting of communication protocol is done).
Command format for value reading
For communication with device which measure more than one value, there is necessary to add at the end of command the number of communication channel, where the measured value is mapped. Command for value reading is #AAx(CRC) cr, where AA is device address, x is number of communication channel, CRC is check sum (can be used or not).

Troubleshooting
Error states of the device
Device continuously checks its state during operation. In case error is found LCD displays corresponding error code:
Error 0 - first line displays „Err0“. Check sum error of stored setting inside
device’s memory. This error appears if incorrect writing procedure to device’s memory occurred or if damage of
calibration data appeared. At this state device does not measure. It is a serious error, contact distributor of the device to fix.
Error 1 - there is a reading „Err1“ on LCD display. Measured temperature
is over upper limit of allowed full scale range. This state appears in case of measured temperature is higher than approximately 600°C (i.e. high non-measurable resistance of temperature sensor, probably opened circuit).
Error 2 - there is a reading „Err2“ on LCD display. Measured temperature
is below lower limit of allowed full scale range or CO2 concentration measurement error occurred. Value read from the device is -999.9.. This state appears in case of measured temperature is lower than approximately -210°C (i.e. low resistance of temperature sensor, probably short circuit).
Error 3 - there is a reading „Err3“ on LCD display upper line. Error of
internal A/D converter appeared (converter does not respond, probably damage of A/D converter). At this state device does not measure temperature. This error does not affect CO
2
concentration measurement. It is a serious error, contact distributor of the device.
Error 4 - there is a reading „Err4“ on LCD display. It is internal device error
during CO2 concentration sensor initialization. Under this condition device does not measure concentration of CO2. Value read from device is -999. It is a serious error, contact distributor of the device.
