E2608-series detectors-transmitters belong to the PluraSens® family of
multifunctional measurement instruments. The instruments utilise gas sensors of
various types with excellent repeatability, stability and long lifetime
The devices are supplied either in duct-mount or wall-mount version. The wall mount
version of the device is available with remote probe. The remote probe is connected to
the main unit with shielded cable. Default connection cable length is 3 m.
E2608 series provides two independent analog outputs OUT1 and OUT2, user-
selectable to 4-20 mA or 0-10 V, proportional either to gas concentration or temperature.
RS485 Modbus RTU digital communication interface allows easy instrument
configuration and integration into various automation systems.
Two relays RE1 and RE2 with closing contacts can be used to switch 24 V or 230 V
powered alarm sirens, ventilation fans, shut-off valves or other actuators.
The version of your detector is marked on the package.
Safety requirements
Always adhere to the safety provisions applicable in the country of use.
Do not perform any maintenance operation with the power on. Do not let water or
foreign objects inside the device.
Operating conditions
The device should be used in explosion-safe (non ATEX -rated) indoor areas, without
aggressive gases in the atmosphere. See Specification table for more details.
Installation and connections
There are no precise rules or standards to follow when installing the gas detectors. The
following points must be taken into account:
application (air quality control or leakage detection),
properties of the space under investigation (room geometry, direction and velocity of
air flows etc),
detected gas (relative density to air, whether the gas is flammable, or toxiс, or oxygen
displacing),
safety: strong vibrations, mechanical shock, and the sources of strong
electromagnetic interference should be avoided,
the device should be accessible for maintenance and repair.
For early leakage detection install the sensor as close as possible to the potential
leakage sources (flanges, valves, pressure reducers, pumps, etc), taking into
consideration other points listed above. For general area monitoring without definite
leakage sources, the detectors should be distributed evenly in the room. For personal
safety control the detectors are installed in the breathing zone (at the height of the head
of people or animals). Recommended sensor position is vertical, pointing downwards.
See Installation guidelines section for more information.
1. Wall mount version:Attach the detector to a wall by screws, using cross-shaped
mounting lugs supplied with the instrument (see dimensional drawing above).
Duct mount version: Cut hole with a diameter of 36...45 mm in the air duct at the chosen
mounting place. Place the rubber flange aligning the holes in the flange and the air-duct
and fix the flange with four self-tapping screws. Pass the sensor probe through the
flange and adjust it to the appropriate depth.
2. Unscrew four lid screws and detach the lid from the detector. Attach the power cable
to the device without turning it on. Using the connection diagrams below, connect
the analog outputs, digital interface terminals and/or relays to the relevant devices
according to your tasks.

The screwless quick connect spring terminals on the E2608 series devices are suitable
for a wide range of wires with cross-section 0,2...1,5 mm2. We recommend to strip the
wire end by 8...9 mm and tin it, or to use the wire end sleeves.
To connect the wire, insert the wire end into terminal hole. To disconnect, push the
spring loaded terminal lever, pull the wire out, and release the lever
Use twisted pair cable, e.g. LiYY TP 2×2×0,5 mm2 or CAT 5, to connect the device to
RS485 network. Use one pair for A and B wires and the second pair for common 0 V
and power +U wires to connect the transmitter to Fieldbus network. Respect polarity.
Overall length of all connections via RS485 interface should not exceed 1200 m.
Note The outputs are not galvanically isolated from 24 V power supply and share
common 0V. Allowed load resistance limits are stated in Specifications table. To power
the instrument from an external 24 VDC source, connect terminals 0V and +U to the
source. If the integrated mains power supply module is used, connect terminals L and N
to the mains.
Note Actuator short-circuits should be avoided, to protect the instrument relays use
external fuses or safety switches.
The type of each analog output can be independently selected with the appropriate
jumper (J1 for OUT1 and J2 for OUT2). With jumper open, the output type is 4-20 mA.
With jumper closed, the output type is 0-10 V.
By default both outputs OUT1 and OUT2 are assigned to gas concentration. The device
has a built-in temperature sensor which may be tied to any of the outputs.
The output assignments and scales can be changed by Modbus commands.
3. Turn on the power. The sensor heating up may take up to five minutes after switching
on. A LED placed on the PCB of the device allows to control the connection process.
The LED response to different processes is presented in the table below.
Process LED mode
Sensor heating period Blinking 0.5 Hz (50% on, 50% off)
Sensor absence or malfunction Blinking 0.5 Hz (90% off, 10% on)
Relay1 turned on Blinking 1 Hz (50% on, 50% off)
Relay2 turned on Blinking 2 Hz (50% on, 50% off)
Modbus response The signal is modulated with short on-off pulses,
even single Modbus cycle is traceable
Normal measurement Continuous light
4. Make sure that the detector is properly mounted, the external devices connected,
power on and control LED is constantly lit. Make certain that the cable glands are
properly tightened to ensure the conformity to IP65 protection class. Place the lid back
and fix it with the screws. The device is ready to use.
It is recommended to keep the device powered constantly, except for periods of
maintenance and calibration, deplacement etc.
Sensor probe handling
The wall mount version of the transmitter is available with remote probe (see drawing
below for dimensions). The remote probe is connected to the main unit with shielded
cable. Default connection cable length is 3 m.
The sensor probes of all types are equipped with a hydrophobic microporous PTFE filter
to protect the sensor from dust, dirt and water drops. The filter may be replaced if it gets
strongly contaminated. To replace the PTFE filter, unscrew the M25 nut and remove
the old filter. Place a new filter into the nut and tighten it again.
NB! Never stab or press the filter near its centre where the sensor is located since this
may damage the sensor.
The recommended orientation of sensor probe is vertical with the sensor tip pointing
downwards. This prevents possible accumulation of condensed water on the sensor
protection filter. The horizontal orientation is also suitable. Avoid upward position of the
sensor tip.
Configuring
Gas detectors E2608 share all functionalities of the PluraSens® multifunctional
transmitter platform. The features and options include:
- digital output change rate limiting filter
- digital integrating (averaging) filter
- temperature measurement channel with internal sensor
- free assignment of each analog output to chosen parameter
- flexible setting of analog output scales for each output
- output shift and slope adjustment for calibration
- free assignment of each of two relays to chosen parameter
- several relay control logic modes (HI or LO with hysteresis, U or П)
- switch delays and minimum on/off state durations for each relay
- Modbus controlled forced state option for analog outputs and relays.
E2608 can be configured through its RS485 interface by Modbus RTU commands. A
standard configuration kit includes Model E1087 USB-EIA485 converter and a software
pack. Please contact your Seller or the Manufacturer for more information.
