1. Security
WARNING
Danger of death, risk of electric shock and fire!
The installation should only be undertaken by a qualified electrician!
To apply for correct bus and power cables and to activate the device, comply with the state of the art
and standards.
Any intervention or modification to the device will invalidate any warranty claim.
• Do not use the sensors for measuring gas content relating to safety!
• Use the probe only with secured low voltages!
• Use an external 24VAC or DC power supply capable of delivering 60mA per probe and ensuring a
peak voltage under 40V.
2. Positioning
The position of the probe is crucial vis-à-vis efficiency and energy savings for
ventilation, heating and cooling.
• The probe is designed to ensure air quality; it must be placed in the area of
occupancy of the premise served by outlet vents, on a wall at eyes level
(breathing human level, between 1.5 and 1.8m).
• Avoid drafts (near openings, blowing air, doors, outlet vents) and dead zones
(niche, shelves and curtains).
• Avoid orthogonal walls (corners of room in particular)
• Avoid heat sources and the proximity of occupants (radius of 1 m from
workstation).
• Avoid direct exposure to sunlight.
• Position the sensor vertically on a wall or partition.
This device is not intended for installation in duct or ceilings.
• When used with an EnOcean radio module, see the complementary positioning constraints § 7.2.4.4
Any work not in accordance with this documentation or
changes to the device will invalidate all warranty claims.

3. Installation
Attach to the wall through two holes in the case.
4. Wiring
Be careful, wiring must be sealed. Incoming air, even slight, would seriously jam the temperature,
humidity and air quality measures.
When the switchboard is located in the heated volume: caulk arrivals between cables and ducts at the
switchboard level.
When the switchboard is out of the heated volume, caulk between cables and ducts before entering the
heated volume. A sealing plug must also be placed between duct and cable reaching the E4000-NG
probe to prevent air entry.
When the sealing of the duct is not possible, use a specific sealant without silicone and VOC.
In case of use of electrical box, select an airtight case with sealing membrane from
which the duct passes through. If the case crosses through the sealing plane
(plasterboard), seal between the casing and panel with a special sealant without
silicone and VOC.
5. Motherboard preparation

5.5. EnOcean Option
For good receiver performance, great care must be taken about the space immediately surrounding the
antenna since this has a strong influence on screening and detuning the antenna. The antenna should be
drawn out as far as possible and must never be cut off. Mainly the far end of the wire should be
mounted as far away as possible (at least 15 mm) from all metal parts, ground planes, PCB strip lines
and fast logic components (e.g. microprocessors). Do not roll up or twist the whip antenna!
5.6. Gateway EnOcean-KNX Option
Note: Gas sensors must be installed after the connections
and before power on.

6.1. Temperature sensor
6.1.1. Standard positioning
The temperature sensor is located on the lowest part of the board.
This sensor is located at the end of a coiled pigtail 3cm long conductor to
minimize thermal bridging with the board and thus reduce the thermal
inertia. In addition, the metal used is constantan. This alloy is a good
electrical conductor and a good thermal insulator which further reduces
the thermal the thermal bridge with the board. So in case of sudden
temperature change (window opening), the probe reacted very quickly.
For an accurate measurement, it is necessary that the sensor (the little
black ball) be in the air stream.
Pull lightly on the sensor to make it exceed by 3 mm from the dished
shape recess in the plastic housing. Do not overpass 6mm to avoid
touching the plastic cover.
A gentle stream of air is generated by the heating of the CO2 and VOCs
sensors located in the upper part. The incoming air is immediately
measured by the temperature sensor.
6.1.2. High performance positioning
The here under optimum positioning of the temperature sensor eliminates thermal phenomena in the
containment housing and improves accuracy.
7. Connecting
7.1. Power Supply
7.1.1. Power Supply Characteristics
Use a power supply between 12 and 24V AC or 15 and 33V DC with a fluctuation of max
value of less than 10%, preferably a DIN rail regulated one.
Make sure the voltage does not overpass 24V AC or 33V DC before connecting to the
E4000-NG probe.
Take into account the voltage drop in the cable to assess the consumption of each sensor.
Temperature sensor
Stretch the twisted cable of the sensor in
pulling it down. Put the cover from the
bottom by inserting the sensor into the
vent.
Check visually and make sure not to
exceed the border for aesthetic reasons.

In RS485 version add 13mA for communication to the calculated consumption. Probes are queried one
after the other.

In KNX version, the bus powers only the interface board, the main board is powered
by the secondary 31V–DC power supply (yellow and white).
Use a certified KNX power supply.
Most of KNX power supplies have a secondary 31V-DC power supply (yellow and
white cables and connector of the same colors).
In LON version use a power supply independent from the bus.

Note: KNX or LON EnOcean Gateway
Connecting the EnOcean module enables the gateway function between KNX or LON and EnOcean.
In addition to the gateway function, this module is used to enrich the functions between the EnOcean
sensors and EnOcean actuators by KNX or LON settings. The pairing between the gateway and
EnOcean devices requires prior setting of KNX or LON communication object via ETS or LON tool.
The pairing is then made through the buttons of the LCD tool panel.
For detailed on settings, refer to the KNX or LON setting manual.
Without wired bus interface board, the probe becomes an EnOcean sensor.

7.2.3. KNX or LON Sensor Mode
Liaison with HVAC and heating is by KNX or LON wire (twisted pair). HAVC, heating and air
conditioning must be compatible KNX or LON
Measures and orders are transmitted via the RS485 Modbus.
The cable must be twisted. For the selection of cable refer to
