Wiring
Use 22 AWG shielded wiring for all connections. Do
not locate device wires in the same conduit with wiring used to supply inductive loads.
1. Connect the positive DC voltage, or the hot
side of the AC voltage, to the terminal marked
POWER (but do not apply power until all wiring
is completed and Volt/mA position is selected).
2. Connect the power supply common to the
terminal marked COM. The device is reverse
voltage protected and will not operate if
connected backwards.
NOTE: The detectors have a half-wave power
supply with the common the same as the
output signal common. If several units are
connected to one power supply, output
signals share the same signal common.
However, KMC recommends using a
separate transformer for each device.
CAUTION
Use caution when grounding the secondary of an
AC transformer, or when wiring multiple devices,
to ensure that the circuit ground point is the same
on all devices and the controller. See Application
Note AN0604D “Tips for connecting 24-volt power”
available from the KMC Controls web site or in the
SP-022 Digital Designer Guide.
4–20 mA Wiring and
Switch Setting
3. Select the desired analog signal output switch
position for either Current (4–20 mA) or Voltage
(a menu item in the on-screen conguration
selects 0–5 VDC or 0–10 VDC).
CAUTION
The 4-20 mA current output signal operates in the
active mode and does not require a loop power
supply. The signal current is generated by the SAE11xx detector and must not be connected to a
powered input or device damage will result.
4. Set the input jumpers/pull-up resistors on the
KMDigital or BACnet controller for the desired
active voltage or current according to the
controller’s instructions.
5. Connect the detector’s OUT terminal to the
controller’s input (referenced to the COM
terminal) according to the illustration.
NOTE: See also Application Note AN0504L
“Connecting inputs and outputs to KMC
controllers” available from the KMC
Controls web site or in the SP-022 Digital
Designer Guide.
0–5/0–10 VDC Wiring
and Switch Setting
(Space Sensor Boards Shown Above—Switch and Terminal
NOTE: The sets of optional (form “C”) relays feature
Normally Open (NO), Normally Closed
(NC), and Common (COM) terminals. The
relay output is completely isolated. The
COM terminal is NOT connected to the
signal or power supply COMMON terminal.
(The contacts are rated at 5 A @ 250 VAC, 5 A
@ 30 VDC, power factor = 1.)
Operation
NOTE: Pressing the TEST buon (when enabled)
tests the buzzer, analog output, and relays.
The Test function may also be initiated re-
motely by shorting the TEST + and TEST –
terminals. (The TEST – terminal is internally
connected to the Analog COM terminal, and
if desired, only one wire need be connected
to the TEST + terminal if the power supply
COM is used as the return signal path.) The
TEST terminals should only be connected to
a remote switch or dry-contact.
CAUTION
Ensure no power is applied to the TEST terminals.
Warm-Up Mode
1. Verify that the detector is properly wired and all
connections are tight.
2. Apply power.
The LCD display briey indicates the software version number and begins a warm-up period of about
2 minutes. During the warm-up, the alarm beeps
three times, the LED ashes red, the signal output
is xed at 4 mA or 0 VDC, and the relays are o.
After the warm-up period ends, the sensor reads
the CO level, outputs the correct analog signal, and
displays the value on the LCD.
Normal Mode
In normal operation, the sensor will measure the CO
level and output a proportional value on the analog
output, which is scaled to the default range of 0–300
ppm. The CO reading will also be displayed on the
LCD. If alarm relays are installed, the present CO
reading is compared to the setpoints and appropriate
action is taken if an alarm condition exists. The status
LED on the front cover will be green to indicate normal operation.
Alarm Mode
Automatic Alarm Reset (Default)
The CO reading is compared to setpoints for alarms,
and if exceeded, the device enters Alarm mode.
and 2 minute delay time. Relay 2 defaults to a 150
ppm trip point, 20 ppm hysteresis, and 2 minute
delay time All of these values can be changed via the
menu. In the example for Relay 1, a timer is started
when the CO level exceeds 50 ppm (the trip level). If
the level drops below 50 ppm before 2 minutes (the
delay time) has expired, then the relay is not activated. If the CO level exceeds 50 ppm for 2 minutes,
then the relay is activated. The relay will remain
activated until the CO level drops below 40 ppm
(the trip level minus the hysteresis/deadband). This
relay could be used to signal a “low alarm.” Relay 2
operates in the same manner and has independently
programmable trip point, hysteresis, and delay time.
This relay could be used to signal a “high alarm.”
The LCD will indicate the Alarm mode details, and
the LED will ash red.
The buzzer alarm is enabled by default with a 150
ppm trip point and 5 minute delay time. It can be
programmed similarly to the relays. When the trip
point is exceeded for a time longer than the delay
time, the buzzer will sound until the CO level falls
below the trip point. The buzzer operates independently of the relay alarms and can be disabled via
the menu. If enabled, pressing the TEST buon
will silence the buzzer (only) during Alarm mode.
Buzzer silence will hold only until that alarm condition is cleared.
Manual Alarm Reset
For models with optional alarm relays installed
(see Models on page 9), the trip point, hysteresis
(deadband), and delay time of each relay can be
programmed via the menu. For example, Relay 1
defaults to a 50 ppm trip point, 10 ppm hysteresis,
For this option, the alarm relays will activate the
same way as described above but will not automatically reset to Normal Mode when the CO level drops
below the trip level. In order to reset the relay alarms
to Normal Mode, the user must also press the TEST
switch on the front cover (or activate the remote
TEST input) when the CO level is below the alarm
level (minus the hysteresis/deadband).
The Manual Reset also applies to the buzzer alarm. If
the buzzer alarm is active, pressing the TEST switch
will temporarily silence the buzzer. But to reset the
buzzer alarm to the Normal Mode, the CO level
must have dropped below the value of the trip level
(minus the hysteresis/deadband) when the TEST
switch is pressed.
Test Mode
The Test function allows verication of the output
and relay operation, and the Test time duration can
be programmed via the menu. The Test mode function is disabled by default and must be enabled via
the menu to later operate while in Normal mode.
Test mode can only be activated while the device is
in Normal mode (not if the device is in Fault, Alarm,
or ReCal modes).
To initiate the Test function (if enabled) during Normal mode, either press and hold the TEST buon for
1 second or activate it remotely by shorting the TEST
+ to TEST – (COM). This will cause the Status LED to
blink red, the analog output to go to 100%, and both
relays (if installed) to activate. The buzzer will also
beep once every 15 seconds (if enabled), and the LCD
will indicate Test mode and remaining time. The
Test function will continue for 5 minutes (default),
and then the device will reset to normal operation.
The Test function can be cancelled by pressing the
TEST buon a second time.
Fault Mode
The Fault mode function is disabled by default,
and it must be enabled via the menu to operate. The
Fault function will monitor the CO sensor lifetime
and indicate when the CO sensor should be re-placed. If the device determines that the sensor has
reached the end of its useful life and that replacement is necessary, it will enter Fault mode. This will
cause the Status LED to blink red and the buzzer to
beep once every 10 minutes. The LCD display will
periodically show “Sensor Fault.” The Fault mode
can be disabled via the menu or enabled at any time.
If enabled, and the device is in Fault mode, pressing the TEST buon will “silence” the buzzer due to
the Fault alarm only. Buzzer silence due to the Fault
alarm will hold until the fault condition is reset via
the menu. (The buzzer may still activate due to a CO
setpoint alarm if enabled.)
WARNING
All commercial CO sensors have a finite life. The
life expectancy of these models is 5 to 7 years. They
must be replaced periodically to ensure reliable
operation in detecting conditions that are potentially
hazardous to human health and safety.
ReCal (Recalibration) Mode
The ReCal mode function is enabled by default and
must be disabled via the menu if it is not required.
The ReCal function will monitor the device and indicate when the CO sensor should be recalibrated. If
the device determines that the sensor requires recalibration, it will enter ReCal mode. This will cause the
Status LED to blink red and the buzzer to beep once
every 10 minutes. The LCD will periodically show
“ReCal Required.” If enabled, and the device is in
ReCal mode, pressing the TEST buon will silence
the buzzer due to the ReCal alarm only. Buzzer
silence due to the ReCal alarm will hold until the ReCal condition is reset via the menu. (The buzzer may
still activate due to a CO setpoint alarm if enabled.)
Configuration
Operation parameters default to typical values but
can be congured locally via the user menu using
the LCD display and the three push-buons on the
circuit board. Any changes made are saved in nonvolatile memory and are restored in case of a power
loss. Only the menu items relevant to the device

The sensor may also be calibrated or veried with
CO gas as needed. This requires a eld calibration
kit consisting of a bole of gas (e.g., 250 ppm CO), a
tank pressure regulator with ow restrictor, and the
necessary tubing to supply the gas into the sensor.
Calibration can be done at 68–80° F (20–27° C). The
device cover must be opened to perform an actual
calibration.
For the SAE-1111/1112 space CO detectors, verica-tion (of the calibration) with gas can be done without
removing the device cover. Simply apply gas using
the calibration cap aached directly to the port on
the cover and monitor the output signal or LCD. For
the SAE-1162 duct sensor, open the cover to access
the port.
SAE-1111/1112
NOTE: The sensor must be continuously powered
for at least 1/2 hour prior to calibration.
NOTE: If the “0 Filter” option is enabled, disable it
in the menu temporarily for the calibration.
(See Conguration on page 4.)
NOTE: The ZERO and SPAN potentiometers are
located on the edge of the sensor board.
NOTE: Aach the tubing as described and
illustrated above.
NOTE: Properly recalibrating the SAE-1162 duct
sensors shipped before August 2014 is more
dicult. For those earlier units with dierent
sensor boards (without the gas tube port
receptacle), it is recommended to disable
the ReCal mode, set the Fault Mode time to
3 years, and then replace the SAE-1162 with
a new or factory-recalibrated unit when the
time has expired.
1. Calibrate the sensor rst in clean air with no CO
gas present by adjusting the ZERO potentiometer
on the sensor board until a 4 mA (or 0 VDC) output is obtained and the LCD displays 0 ppm.
(shipped after August 2014)
SAE-1162
2. Turn the regulator on/o knob fully o, aach it
to the 250 ppm gas bole, and rmly tighten the
regulator by hand.
3. Moisten the sponge and squeeze out any excess
water. Place the sponge in the cap so that it will
not touch the sensor but does not plug the hole
in the side of the cap. (The sponge will ensure the
gas is in the right humidity range.)
4. Aach the cap to the port over the sensor. (If the
gas cap is too loose on the sensor port, wrap electrical tape around the cap.)
5. Slowly turn the valve knob on the regulator to let
the gas begin owing. The regulator will restrict
the ow rate to the specied 200 ml/min.
6. Wait for 5 minutes and then adjust the SPAN
potentiometer on the sensor board until the LCD
reads 250 ppm (or the CO concentration of the
gas cylinder).
7. Close the valve on the tank.
8. Calibration is complete. Reset the ReCal Mode if
it is enabled.
Careful installation will also ensure long-term reliability and performance. Remove dust as necessary from
holes. Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap.
