Overview
The Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) Rough Service Sensor (Part #NSB-NO2-V-BB) offers enhanced electrochemical sensing
with outstanding accuracy at low concentrations. The Duct unit (Part #NSB-NO2-D-BB) samples duct air using an
aspiration tube. The Rough Service unit features a ventilated BB box and is ideal for parking ramps, equipment rooms
and warehouses.
The sensor has field selectable NO2
ranges and outputs, plus two
independent SPDT alarm contacts
that switch at field selectable NO2
concentrations. An alarm timer holds the
output relays on for a fixed time after the
NO2level has fallen below 80% of
setpoint. This allows additional fan run
time to be sure that the NO2has been
purged.
The LCD is backlit for 10 seconds
after a button push. A status LED
is green when the NO2is below the
lowest relay setpoint. The LED turns red
when an alarm relay is on.

Mounting
Rough Service Ventilated Unit
1. Mount the unit on a solid, non-vibrating surface 3 to 5 feet above floor level.
Mount in a horizontal orientation with the enclosure hinge at the top as shown in
Figure 2. Failure to do so may degrade the life of the sensor module. Do not
mount near supply or return diffusers.
2. Use #10 (M5) screws on the four mounting feet of the enclosure. A pilot-hole
makes mounting easier. Use the enclosuremounting feet to mark the pilot-hole
locations.
3. Snug up the screws so that the foam backing is depressed but do not over-tighten
or strip the screw threads.
4. Place the provided #6 screws into the holes on each site of the lid latch to make
the cover tamper resistant. Figure 2: Rough Service
Unit mounting
Duct Aspiration Tube Unit
1. Automatd Logic recommends placing the sensor in the middle of the
duct wall, away from stratified air, to achieve the best reading. The unit
should also be a minimum of 3 duct diameters from an elbow, damper
or other duct restriction.
2. Drill a 1” hole for the aspiration probe. Position the box so that airflow is
directly into the holes on one side of the aspiration probe. The air direction
is not important.
4. Mount the enclosure to the duct using #10 screws through a minimum of
two mounting feet on opposite corners. A 1/8” pilot hole makes mounting
easier. Use the mounting feet to mark the pilot-hole locations.
5. Snug the screws until the foam backing is compressed about 50% to
prevent air leakage but do not over-tighten.
6. Use the provided #6 screws to secure the cover for IP66 rating.
7. Error! Bookmark not defined.recommends sealing the conduit opening with fiberglass insulation.

Termination
Carrier®recommends using twisted pair of at least 22 AWG and sealant filled connectors for all wire connections. Larger
gauge wire may be required for long runs. All wiring must comply with the National Electric Code (NEC) and local codes.
Remove the plug from the conduit opening you wish to use. The field wiring terminals are on a board in the base of the
unit. A legend describing the function of each terminal is printed on the circuit card in the lid. (See Figure 5)

Figure 5: Field Wiring Terminals
NOTE The connectors that plug into the jacks on the board use a rising block screw terminal to hold the wires. If the
block is in a partially up position, the wire may be inserted under the block and the wire will not be held when the screw
is tightened. To avoid improper wiring, turn the male connector screws counterclockwise until the block is below the wire
opening before inserting the wire. Lightly tug on each wire after tightening to verify proper termination.
Keeping the Enclosure Air Tight AfterTermination
For the sensor to work correctly, the wiring entrance must remain air tight. If the sensorr is mounted to a hollow wall and
wired through its back, or wired with conduit, it is possible that a draft of clean air may fill the enclosure through the
wiring opening. This draft may prevent the unit from measuring ambient Nitrogen
Dioxide.
Carrier recommends plugging the conduit at the enclosure. Included with the
Nitrogen Dioxide transmitter is a foam plug to seal the ½ inch EMT. Place the wires into
the plug as shown in Figure 6 and then insert the plug into the conduit sealing the conduit. Figure 6:
Wires Through Foam Plug
Carrier recommends wiring the product with power disconnected. Proper supply voltage, polarity and wiring
connections are important to a successful installation. Not observing these recommendations may damage
the product and void the warranty.

Relay Load Termination
The Alarm Relays may be used to switch a load on or off. Figure 7 shows a circuit that may be used to switch on a load
under alarm conditions. Figure 8 shows a circuit that may be used to switch off a load under alarm conditions. For clarity
only Alarm Relay 1 is shown, Alarm Relay 2 may be used in the same way.
Figure 9 shows how two or more Nitrogen Dioxide or Carbon Monoxide Sensors may be interconnected to switch a load.
This example shows how to turn on a load under alarm conditions. Similar circuitry may be used to turn off a load under
alarm conditions. Figure 9 connects together the Normally Open terminals of Alarm Relay #1 in both units and connects
them to the load. Figure 9 also connects together the Common terminals of Alarm Relay #1 in both units and then
connects them to the load’s power. This wiring circuit will drive the load whenever any one of the Nitrogen Dioxide
Sensors is in an alarm condition. NOTE Be sure to only connect similar terminals from each unit (Normally Open terminal
to Normally Open terminal, etc.). Cross connecting any of the terminals (Normally Closed to Common, etc.) may damage
the units and may void the warranty.
For clarity only Alarm Relay 1 is shown in the example below. Alarm Relay 2 may be used in the same way.

Calibration
Every Nitrogen Dioxide Sensor is factory calibrated. Each unit is ready
for operation after installation and the 10 minute start-up time.
The factory-calibrated NO2sensor module is designed for replacement,
not field calibration.
Maintenance
The NO2Sensor should be vacuumed clean once a year or more,
depending on the rate of accumulation of any dust or dirt. To avoid sensor
damage, the unit MUST NOT be submerged in any liquids. Hosing or
splashing of the unit with any liquids must also be avoided and may void
the warranty.
Carrier recommends replacing the sensor module whenever the Replace
Sensor alarm is active, every 7 years, or at the recalibration intervals
required by the local jurisdiction. Replacement NO2sensor modules (Part
#NSB-NO2S) are available from Carrier.
To replace the NO2sensor module (Figure 20):
1. Remove the tamper-resistant screws and open the lid.
2. Unplug the power connector.
3. For the next two steps, hold the sensor module by the edges of the PCB.
4. Remove the two retention screws.
5. Plug in the new sensor module by pushing the sensor board straight into
the Sensor.
6. Replace the two retention screws.
7. Plug in the power connector.
8. Close the lid until it clicks, and replace the tamper-resistant screws

Diagnostics
POSSIBLE PROBLEMS:
General troubleshooting
Unit does not operate
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS:
- Determine that the input is set up correctly in the controller’s and building automation
software.
- Check wiring for proper termination
- Check for corrosion at either the controller or the sensor. Clean off the corrosion, re-strip
the interconnecting wire and reapply the connection. In extreme cases, replace the
controller, interconnecting wire and/or sensor.
- Check the wiring between the unit and the controller. Label wires and terminals at the
sensor end and the controller end. Disconnect the interconnecting wires from the
controller and the sensor. With the interconnecting wires separated at both ends,
measure the resistance from wire-to-wire with a multimeter. The meter should read
greater than 10 Meg-ohms, open or OL depending on the meter you have. Short the
interconnecting wires together at one end. Go to the other end and measure the
resistance from wire-to-wire with a multimeter. The meter should read less than 10
ohms (22 gauge or larger, 250 feet or less). If either test fails, replace the wire.
- Cycle power.
- Check power for proper polarity.
- Disconnect the power wires at the controller and measure the voltage coming from the
power source. If the voltage is outside the limits specified on page 10, troubleshoot the
power source. Reconnect power wires to controller when finished
- Disconnect the power wires at the sensor and measure the wires for the same voltage
as at the controller. If the voltage is different from that measured at the source,
troubleshoot the wire. Reconnect power wires to sensor when finished.
- Measure the power at the sensor with the power wires connected to the sensor and the
power source.
