Sssssss
11…28Vdc power supply.
Nondispersive infrared (NDIR) sensor designed for the detection of carbon dioxide
(CO2).
Up to three alarm thresholds plus sensing element fail.
LED on sensing element body to indicate operating status.
Automatic countdown of sensor life.
Use
The URD20SE detectors are used to detect the presence of carbon dioxide (CO2), in
areas classified as Zone 1.
It detects carbon dioxide leaks or emissions in industrial environments, hospitals,
fermentation plants, greenhouses, stables and, more in general, where carbon dioxide
is stored, generated or produced.
URD20SE sensors can be used in stand-alone mode with 4…20mA output or with an
optional voltage-free contact relay card having the following four digital outputs:
Pre-alarm, 1st alarm threshold, 2nd alarm threshold, Sensor fail.
Operation
If there is a gas leakage, the detector compares the measured concentration value
with the threshold limit setpoints and energises the associated relays. Information on
the measured concentration value is always at the 4…20mA output.
Ordering
To order, simply state the part number: URD20SE.
For special versions, on request, please contact Customer Service.

Sensors lifetime
Sensor average lifetime (see technical characteristics) is referred to a typical usage
in a pollution-free environment. Presence of a high concentration of pollutants can
shorten the lifetime of the sensing element.
Once the detection system starts up, it has to be supplied with energy during all the
lifetime of its sensors.
Seasonal use of the detection system is not recommended.
Installation
The relative density of carbon dioxide is about one and a half times that of air, so it
tends to collect at floor level in closed, unventilated environments.
Therefore, the sensor must be installed about 30 cm above the floor level.
Take into consideration the following specific installation guidelines, as well as the
above instructions, for location of the detectors.
The detectors must be installed:
1. where accidental gas leakages are possible
2. at least 1.5m away from heat sources or from vent holes
3. not in spaces where ventilation is poor and where gas pockets may form
4. away from hindrances to natural gas flow
5. away from equipment that may leak gas during normal operations
6. in environments with a temperature range of -20°C to 50°C and relative
humidity below 90% (non-condensing)
7. Disconnect equipment from the power supply when mounting and dismantling
detectors.
Special
recommendations
CAUTION: safety is guaranteed only if cover is screwed on tight.
-Tighten the cover clockwise, and when it is screwed on, make sure that there is
no more than 0.5 mm between housing and cover. This guarantees that it is
screwed on tight. Remember to tighten the hexagon locking grub screw that fits
into the end of the cover.
-Ensure compliance with the words << DO NOT OPEN WHEN ENERGISED >>,
clearly indicated on the cover. Alternatively, make the area safe before opening
the sensor cover.

Use shielded cable where there is a risk of electromagnetic interference.
If a relay card is used, use multi-core cable suitable for the number of connections.
Make sure that the cable sheath is no larger than the diameter of the cable gland.
Default settings of the sensor are shown in the “Technical Specifications” chapter.
In order to change the default settings, switch off the power supply, input the new
settings at the JP2 jumper circuit or at the S1 DIP switch as shown in the diagram,
then power-up again; in particular:
The default setting for the 4-20mA signal is the negative power signal. Output
reference selection should be made by JP2 triple of jumpers; to change this setting,
operator has to move JP2 jumpers as shown in the figure:
Caution: if the default settings are changed,
the connections on the TB1 terminal board
will be inverted.

Configuring the relay
operating mode:
After mechanically installing the relay card, it is necessary to configure it electrically,
selecting the relay operating mode and the type of contact desired on the terminal
board (NC or NO).
A pair of extractable terminals is available for each relay; the type of contact (NC or
NO) to be associated with them can be selected using the JP1…JP4 jumpers.
NC or NO contact of pre-alarm relay
NC or NO contact of 1st THRESHOLD relay
NC or NO contact of 2nd THRESHOLD relay
NC or NO contact of FAIL relay
DL1 (yellow), Sensor FAIL
DL2 (red), 2nd alarm THRESHOLD
DL3 (red), 1st alarm THRESHOLD
DL4 (red), Pre-alarm
Selecting the terminal contact:
NC NO
To set the operating mode of the relays: for direct (relay energised by event) or
reverse (relay energised with no event), it is necessary to use the 6th selector of the
DIP switch at S1; in particular:
direct operating mode reverse operating mode
Checklist after
mechanical and
electrical installation
The sensors are factory calibrated so they normally do not require any other
calibration once installed. Still, after installation, an operational check of the sensors
is recommended.
The detector will enter a 2-minute warm-up phase after power-up.
After this time, the sensor will switch to normal operating mode, but it will take about
2 hours before it reaches top performance level.
When the detector is operating, a gas response check should be carried out using
the TUL40.. gas calibration kit. This kit contains:
-2 calibration gas cylinder: 1 x 5000ppm of CO2; 1 x Pure Nitrogen
(see kit part numbers on the specific technical data sheet)
-pressure valve and flow regulator
-sensor body adapter
-about 2 metres of hose between cylinder and adapter.
During the test, check the output current, the status of the LED outside the
enclosure on the sensor body and, if present, the status of the LEDs on the relay
card before closing the housing.
The LED on the sensor body and the 4...20mA output have the following operating

Checklist after
mechanical and
electrical installation
(continued)
Use the calibration kit to apply the gas mixture at 5000ppm of CO2, making sure
that the 4...20mA output is between 7 and 9mA (theoretic value 8mA), and that the
status LED and the pre-alarm, 1st and 2nd alarm threshold on the optional relay card
switch on according to the threshold settings.
Use the Pure Nitrogen gas cylinder to check the zero calibration.
Maintenance
Routine
Corrective
Decommissioning
A sensor functional test should be carried out every three-six months.
Routine maintenance involves repeating the same tests as set forth in “checklist
after mechanical and electrical installation”.
If any abnormalities are found during routine sensor maintenance, return the sensor
concerned to the supplier / installer, who in turn will send it back to the
manufacturer.
Sensors may need to be re-calibrated, using the TUL40.. gas calibration kit and the
TUS40 handheld terminal, which must be connected to the sensor via the
communication interface integrated in the cable (on the connector CN4).
For the re-calibration procedure, see the instructions supplied with the handheld
terminal.
Remove power from the detector, disconnect all wiring and conduits and dismount
the housing from all the blocking systems.
Warranty
Warranty on EsiWelma products is valid for 12 months from installation date and
no longer than 24 months from manufacturing date on the product. Installation
data, stamp and signature on the data sheet filled in by the installer will be
considered proof for warranty.
A copy of the warranty data sheet must be sent when returning the product under
