  • Page 4: Introduction

    Introduction General Description The Brasch Environmental Technologies TRNS Generation 2 Gas Transmitter is designed to function as a gas sensor and signal transmitter. The transmitter consists of a sensor and digital control circuitry. A linear proportional output circuit is able to provide analog signals to a customer-supplied building management controller or a variable-frequency drive.

  • Page 7: Target Gas Specifications

    Brasch Environmental Technologies, LLC has designed their transmitters so that the measurement ranges for each target gas meet the agencies’ requirements. Each target gas, for which Brasch currently produces a transmitter, is listed below along with the relevant concentration specifications.
  • Page 8: Description Of Front Panel Indicators

    Description of Front Panel Indicators The front panel indicators convey to the user the operational status of the transmitter. The following table describes the function of each indicator. Please refer to the transmitter’s front panel label for the indicator’s location. Front Panel Indicators Indicator Color...
  • Page 9: Operation Safety Notice

    Operation Safety Notice Certain procedures and operations detailed in this manual require that specific precautions be taken prior to beginning the procedure or operation. When precautions are required, a notice will be printed in an appropriate location in the manual. The user is urged to read and understand all such notices.
  • Page 10: Quick Start Guide

    Contact Brasch Environmental Technologies, LLC before connecting power to the transmitter if you are unsure of the correct power requirement. Color-coded wires exiting the transmitter housing through the top conduit connector are provided for connecting the operating voltage to the transmitter.
  • Page 11: Step 3 - Output Wiring

    necessary to remove the front cover from the transmitter when connecting the voltage supply. Connect the hot power conductor to the black wire and the neutral conductor to the white wire. Refer to page 13 for further information. Step 3 – Output Wiring The transmitter conveys its sensor signal over two wires.
  • Page 12: Installation

    Installation Mounting the Transmitter The ability of the transmitter to sense the target gas depends greatly upon proper selection of the mounting location. This transmitter monitors the area around it by sampling the air that passes by the sensor. Since the sensor is mounted inside a housing, air must diffuse through the intake vent and pass by the sensor on its way out the exhaust vent.
  • Page 13: Connecting The Power Supply

    • Do not mount the unit near containers of chemicals such as gasoline, kerosene, alcohol, or other cleaning fluids. High level concentrations of these chemicals may be mistaken as the target gas by the sensor and cause false readings. Also, some welding gases may cause false readings.
  • Page 14: Connecting The Voltage Or Current Proportional Output

    Connect the hot power conductor to the black wire and the neutral conductor to the white wire. Connecting the Voltage or Current Proportional Output The Brasch Gas Transmitters include circuits that provide either a current loop or voltage proportional output for each gas sensor. Each output produces a linear response over the full scale range of the sensor.
  • Page 15: Connecting The Modbus Output

    See figure 1 on page 16 for a wiring diagram. Connecting the Modbus Output The Brasch Gas Transmitters also include a circuit that provides digital communication via Modbus RTU protocol. This output allows a client device to read the firmware version, gas sensor type, gas sensor value, and any error codes associated with the transmitter.

  • Page 18: Operation

    4-20 mA Using the Analog Proportional Output This Brasch Gas Transmitter is supplied with a linear proportional output that can be connected to a building management controller or variable-frequency drive. This output can produce either a current or voltage signal that is proportional to the concentration of the target gas present at the sensor.
  • Page 19: Adjusting The Proportional Output

    The linear outputs produce a signal based on the full scale response of the transmitter. As an example, a Brasch Carbon Monoxide Transmitter has a full scale output of 200 PPM CO. For the 4-20 mA output mode, 0 PPM CO would equal 4 mA while 200 PPM CO would equal 20 mA.
  • Page 20: Maintenance

    With most installations, the only variable that can be changed is the location of the transmitter. In some cases, you may find that a target gas source is too close to the transmitter. Consider other mounting locations for the transmitter or move the gas source farther away. Maintenance Testing the Response to the Target Gas Carbon Monoxide or Nitrogen Dioxide Transmitters...
  • Page 21: Replacing The Sensor

    However, sufficient response can be obtained to determine that the transmitter is working. Brasch Environmental Technologies recommends testing the detector once every six months to ensure proper response and accuracy. Replacing the Sensor The sensor’s useful lifetime depends greatly upon its operating conditions.

    Sensor Board Negative Fuse TR5-0.250 Fuse, TR5, time-lag, 1.0 A, 250 VAC Sensor Board Positive Fuse TR5-1.0 A package containing the proper quantities of fuses can be purchased through your Brasch distributor. Troubleshooting Fault The yellow LED on the front panel will glow to indicate a fault condition with the sensor. This is activated upon the sensor reaching the expected end of its useful lifetime.
  • Page 23: Common Installation/Operation Mistakes

    Common Installation/Operation Mistakes Proportional Output Connected Incorrectly The proportional output uses a red wire for the positive analog output and a green wire for the reference analog ground. Reversing these connections will result in inaccurate readings or no readings at all. Setting the Proportional Output Incorrectly If the controller connected to the proportional output is expecting a certain output signal, the jumpers on JP2 and JP3 must be configured to output that type of signal.
  • Page 24: Limited Warranty

    If service or repair of your Brasch product becomes necessary, an authorization request for returning the product to the Brasch factory must be obtained from our sales office. If you are an end user, please contact your Brasch distributor to initiate this request. The distributor, after obtaining a description of the problem, will contact the factory and request a Return Goods Tag (RGT) number.
