Chapter 2 – Product overview 2. Product overview 2.1 Introduction to GMW80 series Vaisala GMW80 series CARBOCAPâ carbon dioxide, humidity, and temperature transmitters are wall-mount transmitters designed to fulfill the needs for CO measurements in standard demand controlled ventilation applications. The following table lists the GMW80 series transmitters and their features.
Page 10
GMW80 Series User Guide M211748EN-G The CO measurement is based on the Vaisala proprietary CARBOCAPâ sensor, which uses a novel, silicon-based microchip emitter instead of an incandescent light bulb. The internal reference in the CO sensor guarantees the best stability and operation also in constantly occupied buildings without frequent readjustments.

The alarm indicator and an error message will also appear on the screen. If more than one error is active, the display will cycle through the errors, showing each error for a few seconds.
Chapter 2 – Product overview 2.3 Relay Transmitter model GMW84S has one SPST-NO relay (max. 50 VDC / 50 VAC, 500 mA) that is activated when the measured CO level rises above the setpoint. When the relay is active (contact is closed), a green LED is lit on the transmitter cover. Figure 8 Relay indicator LED on GMW84S Relay setpoint is set using a rotary switch on the component board.

Chapter 2 – Product overview Transmitter model GMW83A has indicator LEDs for the measured CO level on the front cover. The LEDs provide a visual indication of the measured CO level to the occupant of the monitored space. The LEDs are lit as follows: •...

Chapter 2 – Product overview 2.7 Regulatory compliance GMW80 series complies with the following regulations: • RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU) • EMC Directive (2014/30/EU) • European Union CE marking The conformity is declared with using the following standards: • EN 50581: Technical documentation for the assessment of electrical and electronic products with respect to the restriction of hazardous substances.
GMW80 Series User Guide M211748EN-G 3. Installation 3.1 Selecting location Select a location that represents well the area of interest. Interior walls and columns are typically suitable locations. The installation height should be 1.2 ... 1.8 m (4 ... 6 ft). Figure 15 Examples of good installation locations Seal the cable opening when bringing a cable through the wall.
Chapter 3 – Installation • On points that experience excessive vibration. Figure 16 Examples of unsuitable installation locations 3.2 Opening and closing the transmitter GMW80 series transmitters are delivered from the factory with a pull tab that makes it easy to open the transmitter for installation. Note that the GMW87 and GMW88 models are opened and closed with 4 screws instead of an opening tab.
GMW80 Series User Guide M211748EN-G 1. To open the transmitter after it has been installed: a. Loosen the locking screw if it has been installed. b. Use a flat screwdriver to push down the tab that holds the transmitter cover and mounting base together, and pull the top of the transmitter cover away from the mounting base.
Page 27
Chapter 3 – Installation 2. Use the mounting holes to attach the mounting base securely. Use at least two screws (not included). The mounting holes are suitable for the most common European, American, and Asian mounting boxes. The mounting base can be twisted on to pre- mounted screws.

With passive Pt1000 sensors the length of the cables affects the accuracy of the measurement reading, since the connection is susceptible to electrical interference. Vaisala recommends using shielded twisted pair cables, with the shield grounded. When using a shielded cable, do not connect the shield to the transmitter.
GMW80 Series User Guide M211748EN-G WARNING! Connect only de-energized wires. CAUTION! Do not route the cable through the area marked NO CABLES on the mounting base. That space is taken up by the CO measurement module when the transmitter cover is attached. You can also bring the cable to the housing from above or below, but you have to break off the small plastic tab that covers the hole on top or bottom of the housing.

GMW80 Series User Guide M211748EN-G 4. Modbus communication The Modbus variant used in GMW87 is Modbus RTU. For a list of the Modbus registers available in GMW87, see Modbus registers (page 50). You can use up to 8 transmitters on the same RS-485 line. You must configure each transmitter on the line to have a different Modbus address.
Chapter 4 – Modbus communication Make selections with the DIP switches by sliding the DIP switch to the right (ON). Keep the other DIP switches on the left position (OFF).

GMW80 Series User Guide M211748EN-G 6. Check the output of the transmitter (or the display if included on the model) to verify that the humidity measurement is working normally and the transmitter is not in the error state. For more information on the error state, see Error state (page 42).
If you experience problems with GMW80 series transmitters, first see the following tables (for analog output and Modbus models) concerning the behavior and error indications of the transmitter. If you cannot locate the source of the error and return the transmitter to operational state, contact Vaisala. See Technical support (page 55).
