GMW80 Series User Guide |
M211748EN-G |
The CO2 measurement is based on the Vaisala proprietary CARBOCAPâ sensor, which uses a
novel, silicon-based microchip emitter instead of an incandescent light bulb. The internal reference in the CO2 sensor guarantees the best stability and operation also in constantly
occupied buildings without frequent readjustments.
CARBOCAPâ sensors give correct CO2 measurements immediately when powered on. As they
have a built-in reference measurement, they do not need a lengthy learning phase before the measured values are correct. Proper operation can be verified immediately after snapping on the device cover.
All GMW80 series transmitters measure carbon dioxide (CO2) and temperature (T) with the exception of GMW87 and GMW88, which measure only CO2. Certain models also include
relative humidity (RH) measurement. Humidity measurement utilizes the Vaisala INTERCAPâ sensor.
For measurements in more demanding conditions (for example, dusty or humid installation locations), the GMW87 and GMW88 models provide an IP64-rated enclosure with a cable gland. The GMW87 model can be accessed with the Modbus RTU protocol over an RS-485 interface. The communication settings for the protocol are entered with DIP switches on the GMW87 component board.

The enclosure of the IP64-rated GMW87 and GMW88 transmitter models differs from the other GMW80 transmitter models. In GMW87 and GMW88, the screw terminal block is located on the cover of the enclosure instead of the mounting base. Wires are led into the enclosure either through a cable gland on the bottom of the mounting base or a sealed lead-through at the back. The enclosure is opened and closed with 4 screws instead of the opening tab used in other models.

Dimensions (page 47)
GMW80 series transmitters with the letter D in the model name (for example, GMW83D) are equipped with a display.
12
Chapter 2 – Product overview
When a GMW80 series transmitter with a display is powered on, it shows a sequence of information screens. The screens are shown for a few seconds each.
Figure 5 Example startup screens
The first screen shows the following information:
•Transmitter model, software version, and serial number.
•Serial number of the connected GM10 CO2 measurement module. If the module is disconnected, no serial number is shown.
•Transmitter status: OK or ERROR. If the status is ERROR, the cause of the error will be shown on the measurement screen after the startup is completed.
The following screen(s) show the configuration of the active analog outputs:
•Output type (for example, 0 ... 10 V).
•Output parameter and unit (for example, CO2 (ppm)).
•Output scaling (for example, 0 ... 2000 ppm).
After the startup screens the transmitter shows the measurement screen. It shows the measured parameters and an air quality indicator based on the current CO2 level.
•Good air quality: 0 ... 800 ppm CO2
•Fair air quality: 800 ... 1200 ppm CO2
•Poor air quality: >1200 ppm CO2

Note that temperature measurement data is displayed in Celsius scale only.
If there is a problem with measurement, affected readings are replaced with stars. The alarm indicator and an error message will also appear on the screen. If more than one error is active, the display will cycle through the errors, showing each error for a few seconds.
For a list of possible errors and their causes, see Solving typical problems (page 39).

Chapter 2 – Product overview
Transmitter model GMW84S has one SPST-NO relay (max. 50 VDC / 50 VAC, 500 mA) that is activated when the measured CO2 level rises above the setpoint. When the relay is active
(contact is closed), a green LED is lit on the transmitter cover.
Figure 8 Relay indicator LED on GMW84S
Relay setpoint is set using a rotary switch on the component board. Use a small flat head screwdriver to turn the switch. The switch has ten positions with predefined setpoints.

A hysteresis of 50 ppm is applied to prevent the relay from switching back and forth when the measured value is near the setpoint value. The relay is activated/deactivated when the measured CO2 value passes the setpoint, plus/minus 50 ppm.
For example, consider a transmitter that has the relay setpoint set to 1000 ppm CO2. As the measured CO2 value rises, the relay is activated at
1051 ppm. The relay remains activated until the measured value falls to 949 ppm.
