Basics of the GMW20 Series

Vaisala’s GMW20 series transmitters use silicon based CARBOCAP properties. The series consist of the following transmitter types:
GMW21 and display version GMW21D (80x108.5x35) mm GMW22 and display version GMW22D (80x80x35) mm
sensor with excellent stability and reliability
The GMW20 series transmitter is calibrated as shipped from the factory. In benign environments the recommended calibration interval is five years. In case adjustment is needed, contact Vaisala Service or local Vaisala representative.
The reading of the GMW20 can be checked and adjusted with the serial com adapter 19040GM and the calibration software available from www.vaisala.com. The checking in the field can also be done with calibration gas and a multimeter.

Mounting

1. The GMW20 is shipped ready for installation onto a
standard wallbox or onto a surface mounting.
2. Drill a hole in the surface where the transmitter will be
mounted , then pull the wiring through the drilled hole.
3. Open the transmitter cover by pushing forward and
turning a screwdriver head in the slot located at the bottom between the cover and the back plate.
4. Remove the printed circuit board (PCB) by pressing
upwards with a screwdriver (see Figure 1 on page 3).

5. Thread the power wires and output signal wire through
the center hole of the back plate. In case of surface wiring, make (e.g.with a pliers) cut-out by removing the attenuated part at lower edge of the back plate.
6. Center the hole in the base over the drilled holes and
fasten the base to the surface by using the screws.
7. Install the PCB into the base by aligning it over the latch
pins and press down the upper right corner until it snaps into place. When using GMW21D or GMW22D, mount the display module on top of the PCB.
8. Proceed to the
Electrical connections
section.

Electrical Connections

See the requirements for the power supply in the Technical Data section.
1. Connect the nominal 24 V supply on the PCB between the
terminals + and -. Connect the common wire to terminal 0 and the other wire either to terminal V (voltage output) or to the terminal mA (current output).
2. Choose the current output with the jumper 0/4 mA
4 ... 20mA: jumper shorts the pins (default) 0 ... 20 mA: disconnect (do not discard) the jumper.
3. If the unit has an optional accessory (relay, display and
relay, LonWorks interface, or temperature module), follow the procedure described in the applicable manuals before repositioning the cover.
4. Reposition the cover.

Power Supply Requirements

The GMW20 uses a nominal 24 VAC/VDC power supply maintaining a voltage of 18...30 VDC or 20...26 VAC for all load conditions and all mains voltages. Although the power input includes a halfwave rectifier, it is recommended to use a DC supply to avoid current peaks (Current consumption: peak 170 mA, average 85 mA).

Connections to a 24 VAC Power Supply

When more than one transmitter is connected to one 24 VAC transformer, a common loop is formed and the risk of a short­circuit increases. To avoid this, separate floating supply for each transmitter is recommended (see Figure 3).
In case where several transmitters have to share one transformer, the phase ( connector in each transmitter to maintain the "polarity" and to avoid short-circuit via shared common line at the controller as shown in Figure 4.
) must always be connected to 24V
