the Earth's atmosphere at a low concentration.

Hazards
Dust of various metals (Mg, Zr, Ti, Al, Cr, Mn)is ignitable
and explosive when suspended in carbon dioxide.
In concentrations up to 1% (10000 ppm), it will make
some people feel drowsy and give the lungs a stuffy
feeling. Concentrations of 7% to 10% (70000 to 100000
ppm) may cause suffocation, even in the presence of
sufficient oxygen, manifesting as dizziness, headache,
visual and hearing dysfunction, and unconsciousness
within a few minutes to an hour.

Product description
E2638 series detectors-transmitters belong to the PluraSens® family of multifunctional
measurement instruments. The instruments utilize gas sensors of various types with
excellent repeatability, stability, and long lifetime.
E2638 series provides two independent analog outputs OUT1 and OUT2, user-selectable to
4-20 mA or 0-10 V, proportional to gas concentrations. RS485 Modbus RTU digital
communication interface allows easy instrument configuration and integration into various
automation systems.
The following features are available as an option:
●Two relays RE1 and RE2 with closing contacts. Relay outputs can be used to
switch alarm sirens, ventilation fans, shut-off valves, or other actuators,
●Acoustic (85 dB buzzer) and visual (red and green LED) signaling,
●24 VAC or 230 VAC as options for power supply module,
●LCD indicator,
●Remote probe.
The version of your device is marked on the package. If the symbol ⚠ is marked on the
equipment, consult the documentation for further information.
Safety requirements
Misuse will impair the protection of the product. 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.
Removal of the PCB from the enclosure voids the warranty. Do not touch the electronic
components directly, as they are sensitive to static electricity.
Connection diagrams can be found in the electrical connections section. The device might
not perform correctly or be damaged if the wrong power supply is connected.
External circuits connected to the equipment should have sufficient insulation rating
according to the environmental conditions and equipment power.
A disconnecting device that is marked as such and easily accessible should be included in
the installation of this product.

E2638-CO2 Rev 10.05.2021
Operating conditions
The device should be used both in a non-hazardous area and in a basic electromagnetic
environment, where the latter is defined in EN 61326-1. Avoid strong mechanical shock and
vibrations. Avoid corrosive atmosphere and areas highly contaminated with dust, oil mist,
etc. Keep the instrument away from direct sunlight. A sudden temperature or humidity
change might affect the sensitivity of the sensor.
Installation guidelines
Before proceeding with the installation it is mandatory to read the Safety requirements
section and make sure to comply with all listed instructions. Installation standards EN
60079-29-2 and EN 45544-4 are also recommended for further instructions and related
information about the installation. During the installation of the detector-transmitter the
following points must be considered:
●Application (air quality control or leakage detection)
●Properties of the space under investigation (room geometry, direction, and
velocity of airflows, etc.),
●Since CO2is heavier than air, it is recommended to locate the sensor not higher
than the potential leakage. For air quality control place the sensor in the breathing
zone.
●The device should be accessible for maintenance and repair.
The aforementioned conditions above will affect the coverage area of the device. however,
the coverage area for a transmitter is usually between 2.5 to 5 meters radius.
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). The recommended sensor position is vertical, pointing
downwards.
For installing the device, attach the device to the wall using provided screws through the
side mounting holes or key slots (see mountains dimensions).

Sensor probe handling
The E2638 series devices are available with a remote probe. The remote probe is
connected to the main unit with a shielded cable. The default remote probe cable length is
3 m.
A) Wall mount remote probe with fixing clamp (default version) ,
B) Remote probe with rubber flange and three self-tapping screws (on request)

E2638-CO2 Rev 10.05.2021
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 should be replaced if it gets
strongly contaminated. To replace the PTFE filter, unscrew the sensor head cap and
remove the old filter. Place a new filter into the cap and tighten it again.
NOTE! Never stab or press the filter near its center where the sensor is located since this
may damage the sensor. Do not remove the filter as it may cause the device to show
incorrect values and/or break the sensor.
The recommended orientation of the sensor probe is vertical with the sensor tip pointing
downwards. This prevents the possible accumulation of condensed water on the sensor
protection filter.
NOTE! Both sensors are replaceable only by the manufacturer.

E2638-CO2 Rev 10.05.2021
Electrical connections
Unscrew four lid screws and detach the lid from the device. Use two M16 cable glands to
let in the cables of the power supply and of the external devices. Without turning on the
power, plug the power cable, and connect the analog/relay outputs and/or digital interface
terminals to the necessary devices according to the relevant connection diagram.

The screwless quick connect spring terminals on the E2638 series devices are suitable for
a wide range of wires with a cross-section of 0.2...1.5 mm2. We recommend to strip the
wire end by 8...9 mm and use wire end sleeves.
To connect the wire, insert the wire end into the terminal hole. To disconnect, push the
spring-loaded terminal lever, pull the wire out, and release the lever.
Use a twisted-pair cable, e.g. LiYY TP 2×2×0.5 mm2or CAT 5, to connect the device to the
RS485 network. A and B on the device represent DATA+ and DATA- respectively, polarity
must be respected when connecting to an external RS485 network.
Both analog outputs can be independently changed between 4-20 mA and 0-10 V type
using jumpers J1 (OUT1) and J2 (OUT2). By closing pins on a specific jumper the related
output is 0-10 V, with an open jumper the output is 4-20 mA. Power restart is required after
changing the position of the jumpers.
NOTE! The outputs are not galvanically isolated from the external power supply and share
common 0V. Allowed load resistance limits are stated in the Specifications table. To power
the instrument from an external power 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.

Operation
Turn on the power. The instrument warm-up time takes about 1 minute after switching on
and the final sensor stabilization time to maximum accuracy takes about 15 minutes. The
operating status is indicated by the LED on the PCB of the device. The control LED (red)
response to different processes is presented in the following table:

Continuously on or off
Make sure that the detector-transmitter is properly mounted, the external devices
connected, power LED (green) on and control LED (red) constantly lit. Place the lid back
and fix it with the screws. The device is ready to use.
Maintenance
Do not perform any maintenance operation with the power on.
Clean the device with a soft damp cloth. Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents. Do not
immerse the device in water or any cleaning media.
Calibration
E2638-CO2 gas detector-transmitters have been calibrated by the Manufacturer with
standard gas mixtures before delivery. Provided that the sensor is used under moderate
conditions, the recommended interval for field recalibration is every 5 years. 50KN sensor
does not require recalibration. Please contact your dealer for more information.
