GMM220

Introduction

Vaisala GMM220 transmitter modules are versatile instruments for measuring CO2 in industrial applications. The CARBOCAP® sensor is silicon based and its operation is based on the NDIR Single-Beam Dual-Wavelength principle. The modules can be configured for different CO2 measurement ranges and analog output ranges.

The GMM220 module consists of a component board, cable and a CO2 probe. The shorter probe model (GMP221) is for higher and the longer model (GMP222) for lower CO2 concentrations. A waterproof connector connects the probe to the cable. The probe also features a non-volatile memory for storing the calibration parameters. This enables interchangeability of the probes and allows easy field calibration by exchanging the probe with a freshly calibrated one.

Mounting

For power supply and analog outputs, the board is available either with pinheaders on bottom side or with screw terminals on top side; serial interface has always a pinheader.

If the board has pinheaders, mount it by soldering or plugging it into host board's female connectors.

Electrical Connections

Figure 3 Electrical Connections
Power supply:
Two supply voltage alternatives:
- +L 12 volt supply input (11 VDC - 20 VDC)
- +H 24 volt supply input (18 VDC - 30 VDC)
- GND common ground for power supply
Average current consumption is 100 mA (+ current output, max. 20 mA)
Analog outputs:
- 0 common for both analog outputs
- V voltage output (default 0-1 V, on request 0-2 V, 0-2.5 V or 0-5V)
- mA current output (default 4-20 mA, on request 0-20 mA)
Serial interface:
The interface is a 5 V (TTL) level full duplex serial port.
- GND signal ground (same potential as the supply GND)
- TX data transmitted by the CO2 module (low state corresponding mark)
- RX data received by the CO2 module (low state corresponding mark)
Leave other serial interface pins unconnected.
Probe wires: If the CO2 module is ordered with a separate probe cable, solder the wires
to the component board according to colors shown in Figure 3.

LEDs:
- Normal operation: Led V8 (red) is not lit and Led V9 (green) is blinking.
- Measurement out of range: Led V8 (red) is blinking and Led V9 (green) is blinking,
maximum value is shown. GMM220 returns to normal operation when CO2 drops within range.
- Error state: Led V8 (red) is blinking and Led V9 (green) is blinking, no readings. In
error state, check first that the probe is properly connected. In case of constant error, please contact Vaisala Service Centers.

Serial Interface Protocol

The transmitter is connected to a computer with the optional serial COM adapter (19040GM). A suitable terminal program such as WINDOWS® Hyper Terminal is needed for the communication.
Port settings: Baud rate 9600, data bits: 8, stop bits :1, parity: none, flow control: none

Commands

The last character in the GMM220 reply is a prompt >.

Single CO2 measurement output

DISP option <cr>
Options: 2 = concentration in ppm, 4 = concentration in %
For example:
>DISP 2<cr> the command (bold)
6543.2 <cr><lf> response from the GMM220 > prompt sent by the GMM220

Continuous CO2 measurement output

MF_MODE option <cr>
Options: 0 = no output, 2 = output concentration in ppm, 4 = output concentration in % For example:
>MF_MODE 4<cr> the command (bold)
5.625<cr><lf> response from the GMM220
5.625<cr><lf>
5.625<cr><lf>
.
To stop continuous output, give command: MF_MODE 0<cr> or <ctrl+C>

Pressure Compensation

If altitude differs significantly from sea level (default), a pressure compensation should be made.

where: xxx = ambient temperature (°C) x 10.
Example of setting desired temperature (25 °C):
>MF_TEMP 250 MF_TEMP=250 >
To save the setting, give command: MAIN_SAVE F
