Product description
E2670 is a series of flameproof gas detectors-transmitters intended for operation in safe
zones and ATEX Zones 2 and 22. E2670 series devices are based on the PluraSens®
multifunctional platform and provide all its features. The instruments utilize gas sensors of
various types with excellent repeatability, stability, and long lifetime.
The E2670 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,
●24 VAC or 230 VAC as options for power supply module,
●Remote probe.
The version of your detector 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.
The device should be properly earthed.
12

E2670-VOC Rev 15.03.2023
Operating conditions
The device should be used in a basic electromagnetic environment, where the latter is
defined in EN 61326-1. Avoid strong mechanical shock and vibrations. Although E2670
series devices are suitable for use in the presence of flammable dust, special precautions
should be taken when operating in a dusty environment. Dust may block the porous filter of
the sensor and compromise the results of the measurement. The detector should be
inspected regularly if used in a dusty atmosphere. Keep the instrument away from direct
sunlight. A sudden temperature or humidity change might affect the sensitivity of the
sensor. Make sure that installation and maintenance are performed in an explosion safe
atmosphere.
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 transmitter the following
points must be considered:
●Application (the instrument is intended for leakage control.)
●Properties of the space under investigation (room geometry, direction, and
velocity of airflows, etc.),
●Solvent vapors are heavier than air, so the gas detector-transmitter should be
placed near the floor or potential leakage or formation source.
●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.

E2670-VOC Rev 15.03.2023
The device is fixed on the wall using two fixing holes located outside the sealed area of the
device (see dimensional drawing). Unscrew four lid screws and detach the lid from the
detector. Fix the detector on the wall and earth the enclosure using an earthing terminal on
the side of the device.
NOTE! Never perform installation or maintenance in an explosive atmosphere!

Electrical connections
Unscrew lid from the device. Use the M20 cable gland to let in cables of the power supply
and of the external devices. Attach the power cable to the device without turning it on.
Using the connection diagram below, connect the analog outputs and digital interface
terminals to the relevant devices according to your tasks.

The screwless quick connect spring terminals on the E2670 series devices are suitable for
a wide range of wires with a cross-section of 0.2...1.5 mm2. We recommend striping the
wire end by 8...9 mm and using 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.
17

E2670-VOC Rev 15.03.2023
NOTE! The outputs are not galvanically isolated from the external power supply and share
a 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 using
external fuses or safety switches.

Turn on the power. The instrument warm-up time takes about 5 minutes after switching on
and the final sensor stabilization time to maximum accuracy takes about 60 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:

Make sure that the transmitter is properly mounted, the external devices connected, the
power LED (green) on, and the control LED (red) 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.
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
E2670-VOC detectors have been calibrated by the Manufacturer with standard gas
mixtures before delivery. Provided that the sensor is used under moderate conditions, field
recalibration is recommended every 12 months. Please contact your dealer for more
information.
