CO2 Transmitter
The CO2 concentration is measured through non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) waveguide technology with ABC automatic
background calibration algorithm. The applied measuring technology guarantees excellent reliability and long term
stability. The microprocessor samples the CO2 once per second. It calculates an averaging signal over a preset number
of seconds and generates the output signal.
The output signal range and type may be customized by jumpers and if required by a programming tool. Standard
signal ranges are 0-10VDC, 2-10VDC, 4-20mA and 0-20mA. These ranges can be set by jumpers. Other ranges can be
set by using the external display and programming module. (OPA-S)
Minimum and Maximum Values:
Using a display & programming accessory, the user has the option to read out and reset minimum and maximum
values. The minimum and maximum values may as well be used as output signals. The minimum and maximum
values are saved into the EEPROM and are available after a power interruption.
Indication of air quality :
A three color LED is used to indicate air quality: Green light for low CO2 concentration, orange light for medium and
red light for high concentration. The levels for low-medium-high may be programmed.
Default settings are 0 ppm< low < 800 ppm< medium < 1500 ppm high.
Use as P-controller
Set a minimum concentration when the extract fan should start to run at its minimum speed. For example 700 ppm.
Set this as the minimum value in IP03 parameter. Then define the value when the fan should run at full speed, for
example 1500 ppm and set this value in IP04. Your transmitter has now been converted into an air quality P-controller!
The fan will start to run if the CO2 concentration is higher than 700 ppm. It increases to its maximum when CO2
concentration reaches 1500 ppm. y

Maintenance
The SRC-C1 CO2 transmitter is maintenance free in normal environments thanks to the built-in self-correcting ABC
algorithm. Discuss your application with Vector Controls GmbH in order to get advice for a proper calibration strategy.
When checking the sensor accuracy, PLEASE NOTE that the sensor accuracy is defined at continuous operation (at
least 3 weeks after installation)!

Mounting location
Mount the transmitter on a flat interior wall of the room to be controlled. Do avoid obstructions such as shelves,
curtains and recesses. Do not place near heat sources, draft channels. Do not expose to direct sunlight.
Installation
1. Open the single screw on the cover and remove cover from mounting plate.
2. Fix the mounting plate to the flush mounting box or the wall surface
3. Connect the conductors to the terminals of the back part according to wiring diagram
4. The end of the conduit at the sensor must be sealed to prevent false measurements due to draughts through
the conduit.
5. Slide the two hooks on top of the cover into the two latches on top of the mounting plate.
6. Close the cover.
7. With a Philips-type screw driver of size #2, carefully tighten the front holding screw to secure the cover to the
back part. There is no need to tighten the screw too much.

Output signal conguration
The analog output signal type
may
be configured with a jumper for 0-
10 VDC or 0-20 mA control
signals. The jumpers are located
next to the terminal connector of
each analog output. See table
below for jumper placement. The
factory setting is to 0-10 VDC.
The signal range may be set with
JP2 for both analog outputs. JP2
will only operate if the output
range specified with OP01 and
OP02 is left at the default position
of 0…100%. With any other
setting the position of JP2 has no
influence and the range defined
with the output parameters
applies.

The transmitter can be adapted to fit perfectly into any application by adjusting the software parameters. The
parameters are set with the operation terminals OPA-S. The OPA-S may also be used as remote indicator.
For correct display version 1.4 of OPA-S is required.

Calibration
The default sensor OEM unit is maintenance free in normal environments thanks to the built-in self-correcting ABC
algorithm (Automatic Baseline Correction). This algorithm constantly keeps track of the sensor’s lowest reading over a
7 days interval and slowly corrects for any long-term drift detected as compared to the expected fresh air value of 400
ppm CO2.
Rough handling and transportation might, however, result in a reduction of sensor reading accuracy. With time, the
ABC function will tune the readings back to the correct numbers. The default “tuning speed” is however limited to
about 30 ppm/week. For post calibration convenience, in the event that one cannot wait for the ABC algorithm to cure
any calibration offset, jumper 3 is provided for the operator to choose calibration options.
If jumper 3 is placed on position 1-2, for a minimum time of 8 seconds, the internal zero calibration is executed, in
which case the sensor must be purged by some gas mixture free from CO2 (i.e. Nitrogen or Soda Lime CO2 scrubbed
air). The air quality LED is blinking in green color alternately with the status LED in 2 second intervals.
If jumper 3 Is placed on position 3-4, it is assumed that the sensor is operating in a fresh air environment (400 ppm
CO2). The air quality LED is blinking in red color alternately with the status LED in 2 second intervals.
If unsuccessful, please wait at least 1 minute before repeating the procedure again. Make sure that the sensor
environment is steady and calm!
Make sure to return jumper 3 to its default position of 2 - 3!
Zero calibration procedure
The zero calibration procedure is as follow:
1. Connect the sensor on top with a tube (soft tubing 2x4 mm) and a
nipple (nylon tubing 30x0.8x2.2 mm), see Figure 4 below. There
are 2 alternative positions for nipple attachment.
2. Let a gas mixture flow into the sensor through the applied tube.
The flow shall be in the range of 0.3 – 1.0 liter/minute during 3
minutes. Keep the gas mixture flowing during the whole procedure.
3. Set jumper 3 to position 1-2 for a minimum time of 8 seconds. The
air quality LED will blink in green color alternating with the status
led in 2 second intervals.
4. Verify the zero calibration using the OPA-S or the analog outputs.
They should show 0 ppm CO2.
5. If zero calibration is not executed (sensor detected unstable gas
concentration) wait 10 sec and repeat steps 3 and 4 again. Do not
breathe on the sensor!
