VAISALA________________________________________________________________________ 7
ESD Protection
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can cause immediate or latent damage to
electronic circuits. Vaisala products are adequately protected against
ESD for their intended use. It is possible to damage the product,
however, by delivering electrostatic discharges when touching,
removing, or inserting any objects inside the equipment housing.
To make sure you are not delivering high static voltages yourself:
- Handle ESD sensitive components on a properly grounded and
protected ESD workbench.
- When an ESD workbench is not available, ground yourself to the
equipment chassis with a wrist strap and a resistive connection cord.
- If you are unable to take either of the above precautions, touch a
conductive part of the equipment chassis with your other hand before
touching ESD sensitive components.
- Always hold component boards by the edges and avoid touching the
component contacts.
Recycling
Recycle all applicable material.
Dispose of batteries and the unit according to statutory regulations. Do
not dispose of with regular household refuse.
Warranty
Visit our Internet pages for standard warranty terms and conditions:
http://www.vaisala.com/warranty.
Please observe that any such warranty may not be valid in case of
damage due to normal wear and tear, exceptional operating conditions,
negligent handling or installation, or unauthorized modifications. Please
see the applicable supply contract or Conditions of Sale for details of the
warranty for each product.

CHAPTER 2
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
This chapter introduces the Carbon Dioxide Transmitter Series GMT220.
GMT220 Transmitter Parts
Vaisala’s GMT220 transmitters are versatile instruments for measuring
CO2in industrial applications. The CARBOCAP®sensor is silicon based
and its operation is based on the NDIR Single-Beam Dual-Wavelength
principle.

LED Indicators and Optional Display
The GMT220 series transmitter has, as a standard, three LED light
indicators on the cover plate: OPERATION, LEVEL 1 and LEVEL 2 (see
Figure 3).
- The green OPERATION LED is lit when the power is connected.
- The red LEVEL LEDSare lit if the relay setting is reached, for example
when CO2concentration is over the predefined limit. If the relays are
not in use, the LEVEL LEDs indicating CO2concentration are dark.
The transmitter is also available with an optional back lit LCD display,
which outputs the CO2volume concentration in unit of percentage or
ppm depending on the measurement range of the probe.
Blinking led lights and Er-codes in the display indicate operation errors,
see Error Messages on page 25.
0807-034
Figure 3 LED Indicators and Optional Display
For GMP221 probe, the display shows percentage values with two
decimal accuracy, for example 0.31 %. For GMP222 probe, the display
shows ppm values rounded up to the nearest 10 ppm.

CHAPTER 3
INSTALLATION
This chapter provides you with information that is intended to help you
install this product.
Wall Mounting
Mount the wall model transmitter or the remote probe into a place
representing the environment to be measured.
0807-035
Figure 4 Mounting the Transmitter
The following numbers refer to Figure 4 above:
1 = Attach the mounting plate to the wall with screws.
2 = Press down the transmitter so that it slides along the rails of
the mounting plate.

USER'S GUIDE____________________________________________________________________
14 __________________________________________________________________ M010022EN-F
Duct or Channel Mounting
When the probe is installed in a duct or channel, it is recommended to
use the optional mounting flange (GM45156SP).
1. Drill a hole with minimum diameter of 22 mm in the wall.
2. Attach the flange onto the duct with four screws so that the gasket
ring seals the attachment.
3. Place the probe through the flange so deep that the perforated
head is completely in the duct (see Figure 5 below).
0807-036
Figure 5 Gasket Ring
NOTE If the air pressure in the duct is clearly lower than the surrounding air
pressure, an additional sealing may be necessary. This is to avoid
possible measurement errors due to leakages through the joint.

Chapter 3 _______________________________________________________________ Installation
VAISALA_______________________________________________________________________ 15
Connections
To connect the GMT220:
1. Connect the nominal 24 V supply terminals (+) and (-) on the
motherboard (right-hand side, see Figure 6 below).
2. Connect the analog output (see Figure 6 below) as follows:
Terminal 0: the common wire (-)
Terminal V: voltage output signal (+)
Terminal mA: current output signal (+)
If the current output is chosen, select the output range by using the
current output jumper 4mA (see Figure 6 below). If the range of
4...20mA is chosen, connect the jumper (default). If the range of 0...20
mA is chosen, disconnect the jumper.
CAUTION Connecting the power leads to the output terminals can seriously
damage the product.

Power Supply Requirements
The GMT220 series transmitters are designed to operate with a nominal
24 VAC/DC supply. The power supply should maintain the voltage for
all load conditions and all mains voltages. The power input includes a
halfwave rectifier. To avoid current peaks, it is recommended to use a
DC supply.
Connection to a 24 VAC Supply
The GMT220 series transmitters can be connected to a 24 VAC supply
without an external rectifier. However, when more than one transmitter is
connected to one 24 VAC transformer, a common loop is formed and risk
of a short-circuit increases. To avoid this, always use separate floating
supply for each transmitter, see Figure 7 A on page 17.
CAUTION If several transmitters have to share one transformer, the phase () must
always be connected to (+) connector (24 V) in each transmitter, see
Figure 7 B on page 17.

Relays
The relay output wiring is done at the left-hand side terminals on the
motherboard, see Figure 6 on page 15. When the relay trigger point is
exceeded, the relay switches ON. This function can be inversed by
disconnecting the corresponding relay jumper (L1 or L2).
The relay trigger points have been set at the factory as defined in the
order form. The points can also be changed with a PC and the optional
serial COM adapter 19040GM, see section Setting Relay Trigger Points
on page 21. The COM adapter 19040GM, see Figure 8 below, can be
ordered from Vaisala. For order information, see section Accessories on
page 37.
