SenseAir aSENSE m III CO2 / CO sensor Function Description and Maintenance Instruction

Below you will find brief information for CO2 / CO sensor aSENSE m III. The aSENSE m III is a CO2 / CO sensor with built-in general purpose controller. It is used to measure indoor air carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide concentrations. The outputs are programmable for relay- and linear control of mixed air dampers, humidifier and fans. This device can be connected to VAV (variable Air Volume) controllers, or Direct Digital Control (DDC). You can also adjust the product to your application by changing the measurement ranges of the linear outputs, modify the set points of the alarm outputs, invert outputs and reconfigure the functions and the logic that controls the outputs.

Function Description and Maintenance Instruction
aSENSE™ m III
CO2 / CO sensor with built-in general purpose
controller
General
The IAQ-sensor product aSENSE™ m III is used to measure indoor air carbon dioxide
and carbon monoxide concentrations. It is a very flexible controller with programmable
outputs for both relay- and linear control of e.g. mixed air dampers, humidifier and fans. The
measured values are shown on the display.
The unit can alternatively be connected to common VAV (Variable Air Volume) controllers,
or Direct Digital Control (DDC). The linear output functions are pre-programmed. All
functions can be modified from a PC with the software UIP (version 4.3 or higher) and the
RS232 communication cable.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
aSENSE™ m III is delivered pre-programmed (see description below). With the free
software UIP4.3 (or later versions) and SenseAir’s standard communication cable for PC
(art.no. A232 Cable) the user can adjust the product to his/hers application by, for example,
changing the measurement ranges of the linear outputs, modify the set points of the alarm
outputs, invert outputs and also reconfigure the functions and the logic that controls the
outputs.

Output Configurations
A label on the inner side of the sensor lid shows the configuration of the outputs at the time of
product delivery. The sensors/controllers are supplied from the factory (unless otherwise
ordered) with 0...10VDC linear outputs for OUT1 and OUT2. OUT4 is an open collector
output (see Table II). If different output configurations are needed for the application, these
have to be reconfigured before the unit is powered up. Default values are 0-10 V.

In DISPLAY MODE the DEFAULT operation is that the sensor alternates between carbon
dioxide and carbon monoxide readings presentation. The push button MENU(+) is used to
select the indicated value on the display to be the error code or the set points of temperature
and CO2 After power up the display will always return to the Default display mode. If a
permanent change of default values is requested the PC software is to be used.

A number of execution options are available from the MAINTENANCE MENU (see Table

selection. A two buttons push and an access code restricts access, intended for competent
trained service personnel only. The Entr(+-)command is done by PUSHING MENU AND
ESC AT THE SAME TIME (hold down for about 14 seconds). The access code has eight
binary digits; one press at MENU(+) equals 1 and one press at ESC(-) equals 0. The code
value can be changed for your personal choice from the software UIP 4.3.
page 6 of 15
Always use the ESC button to return to the DEFAULT mode. Several pushes of the ESC
button may be needed to return to the DEFAULT mode. The Entr(+-) push (MENU & ESC)
eventually leads to execution of functions, which causes temporary or permanently change of
any parameter, that affects the system outputs!

FUNCTIONAL TEST of CO2 / CO aSENSE™ m III
Functional test
The unit has three LED’s – green, yellow and red. These LED’s indicate the status of the
controller. An internal delay function prevents the alarm functions of the relay and OUT4
output during two minutes after power up. The alarm outputs may be tested after the two
minutes delay
Green LED - ”No alarm situation” is lit, when the relay is contact closed.
Yellow LED - ”Call for maintenance” is lit, if an error flag is set or the measurement is out of
range. This information is also shown on the display by the wrench icon. Any push button
press, or executed maintenance function, is acknowledged by emission from this LED. If an
error has been detected both the yellow and red LEDs are lit.
Red LED - ”Alarm high gas concentrations” is lit, when the open collector output is activated
(contact closed). The CO concentration is 35 ppm or more OR the CO2 concentration is 1500
ppm or more OR if the yellow LED is lit.
A simple and visual functional test can easily be performed. Take a breath and blow the air
from a distance of a few centimetres on the sensor. The sensor will detect a rapid increase in
the carbon dioxide concentration. The red LED is lit and the green LED is turned off when the
CO or CO2 concentration goes above the pre-set value. If the sensor is connected to a
controller, the flow of the ventilation system will eventually increase by change of the fan
speed or opening of a damper actuator (depending on the installation/application).
Test gas verification
If the measurement of a sensor is to be verified, a test gas with carefully determined
concentration of CO and CO2 must be used. For zero calibration pure nitrogen or air that has
passed through a chemical absorber should be used. In fresh air the carbon monoxide
concentration is nearly zero. The Zero calibration bag can be used to produce carbon dioxide
free air. Check the CO and CO2 values of the display or the voltage of the output 1 for CO
and the voltage of the output 2 for CO2 with a multimeter when the values have stabilized.
page 11 of 15
When a zero calibration shall be executed a plastic tube with 2,2 mm outer diameter and 0,8
mm inner diameter shall be inserted in marked holes of the sensor. A plastic tubing is
connected to the tube. The gas flow should be between 0,3 and 1,0 l/min.
The yellow LED flashes when a calibration is executed .A calibration will only be executed if
the gas concentration is stable. If the yellow LED does not flash after 8 seconds no calibration
has been executed. Then try to do another calibration.

PLEASE NOTE!
The sensor accuracy is defined at continuous operation (at least 3 weeks after installation)
Self diagnostics
The system contains complete self-diagnostic procedures. A full system test is executed
automatically every time the power is turned on. For aSENSE™ m III the internal voltage
regulators and outputs are checked. In addition, constantly during operation, checking the
valid dynamic measurement ranges checks the sensor probes against failure. These different
system checks return error bytes to the system RAM. If any error is detected, the yellow LED
will be lit until the error has vanished and the error flag is reset. “Warm up” and “Out of
Range” are the only bits that are reset automatically after return to normal state. All other
error bits have to be reset manually after return to normal state – either by pushing MENU &
ESC buttons simultaneously for (=Entr(+-) or by power off and restart.

Table V. Error codes
Note 1. Any probe is out of range. Occurs, for instance, during over exposure of CO2 sensor, in which
case the error code will automatically reset when the measurement values return to normal. Could
also indicate the need of zero point calibration. A background calibration using push button function
”bCAL” will cure this error (a more exact zero calibration using ”CAL” may be performed later, if
required). If the CO2 readings are normal, and still the error code remains, the temperature or relative
humidity sensor can be defect or the connections to these are broken.
Please remark: If several errors are detected at the same time the different error code numbers
will be added together into one single error code!
Maintenance
The aSENSE™ m III is basically maintenance free. An internal self adjusting calibration
function takes care of normal long term drift associated to the CO and CO2 sensor. To secure
the highest accuracy, a time interval of five years is recommended between calibrations,
unless some special situations have occurred. A zero calibration can be performed by use of
the push button functions, or for a complete overview by use of a PC together with the UIP
software version 4.3 (or higher). This software can be free downloaded from
www.senseair.com. A RS232-cable is needed and can be ordered from SenseAir. The cable is
page 13 of 15
to be connected to the UART port slide connector (Fig 10). For change of control parameters
and re-calibration (CO2 and CO) this PC tool has to be used. The check can be done on site
without interfering with the ventilation system.
