The Series CDTA Communicating Carbon Dioxide Detector combines the
function of three room sensors into a single, compact housing. Parameters include
arbon dioxide, humidity, temperature, and temperature set point with override. By
c
aving field selectable Modbus
h
eeded for power and the communication signal. The communicating detectors
n
can be daisy-chained together to further reduce installation cost. In order to reduce
the set up time, the RS-485 MAC address is set up using on board dip switches.
A second set of dip switches are used to select whether output is Modbus
BACnet MS/TP communication protocols and to limit access to the set up menu.
Like our Series CDT Carbon Dioxide Transmitter, the Series CDTA uses a Single
Beam Dual Wavelength Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) sensor to measure the
carbon dioxide level. This technology can be used in installations that will be
occupied 24 hours per day. For improved accuracy, the transmitter can be field
calibrated to the environmental conditions of the installation. Also, the barometric
pressure can be programmed to correct for altitude. The humidity uses a capacitive
polymer sensor and the temperature is measured using a 10KΩ thermistor sensor.
The humidity sensor is field replaceable without the need for additional calibration.
Optional local and remote displays are available to display any of the parameters.
For applications in which the building occupants aren’t familiar with CO
concentrations, the LCD can be programmed to display temperature, humidity, or
temperature set point instead.

Make sure all connections are in accordance with the job wiring diagram and in
accordance with national and local electrical codes. Use copper conductors only.
NOTICE
Use electrostatic discharge precautions (e.g., use of wrist
straps) during installation and wiring to prevent equipment
damage.
NOTICE
For optimal performance, self calibration feature of the
transmitter requires exposure to normal outdoor equivalent
carbon dioxide level once every thirty days.
NOTICE
Avoid locations where severe shock or vibration, excessive
moisture or corrosive fumes are present.
NOTICE
Do not exceed ratings of this device, permanent damage not
covered by warranty may result.
NOTICE
Upon powering the transmitter, the firmware version will flash on
the display. A warm up period of 30 minutes is required for the
transmitter to adjust to the current CO
concentration.

igure 3 shows how to connect the CDTA in a network containing individual local
F
upplies. Use a cable containing a twisted pair and a single conductor. The pair is to
s
e used for B(+) and A(-). The single conductor is to be used for common. Both AC
b
and DC supplies are suitable for this configuration.
In either configuration you must use shielded cable. Connect the shield to earth
round at one location only to prevent ground loops.
g

onnections are not permitted.
c
The B(+) and A(-) lines must be terminated at both ends with a 120 ohm resistor. If
the CDTA is an end device it has an on-board resistor that may be used. See DIP
WITCH SETTINGS to enable it.

network. The device will not function properly if an invalid address is set. During the
power up sequence, the LCD (if present) will display the RS-485 address as the
primary value with “ADR” as the primary text and either “BAC” to indicate BACnet or
“MOD” to indicate Modbus

invalid, the invalid value is shown as the primary value with “ERR” as the primary text.
Communications wiring must be in a daisy-chain fashion. Star connections are not

Figure 2
Figure 2 shows how to connect the CDTA in a network containing a common power
supply. Use a cable containing two twisted pairs. One pair is to be used for B(+) and
A(-). The other pair is to be used for power and common. This configuration is not
suitable for AC supplies. Use a DC supply only. Care should be taken that there are
not too many devices powered from the same supply as voltage drops will occur in
the wiring. If you have many devices, or have long cable runs, the local supply
configuration may be a better choice.

When in the home display, a single press of either the UP or DOWN button will
display the current temperature set point value. Additional presses of the UP or
DOWN buttons will increase or decrease the set point by 1 degree per button
depression. Holding the UP or DOWN button will continuously change the set point
alue until the button is released. The set point display will timeout and return to the
v
ome screen after 5 seconds of inactivity. At this point the new set point value is

tored in non-volatile memory. The range of the set point value can be configured
s
with “SOH” and “SOL” values in the setup menu. A display is not required to
change the set point value.
Override
When on the home screen or when changing the set point, the override button
(middle button) can be pressed. When the override button is pressed, a snow flake

MAINTENANCE/REPAIR
Upon final installation of the Series CDTA, no routine maintenance is required. The
Series CDTA is not field serviceable and should be returned if repair is needed.
Field repair should not be attempted and may void warranty.
Reset To Factory Defaults (RST)
This value, when set to “YES”, will reset all user settings to their default values and
reset the device. This applies to all settings including BACnet writable settings.
