Item numbers 30174 (Sewi AQS/TH Modbus), 30175 (Sewi TH Modbus)
1. Description
The indoor sensors Sewi AQS/TH Modbus and Sewi TH Modbus measure
the indoor temperature and humidity and also calculate the dew point temperatu-
re. The Sewi AQS/TH also records the CO2 concentration.
The devices are Modbus slaves with a RS485 interface and a RTU protocol. The
Modbus master, such as PC, SPS or MC can read the Sewi Modbus Indoor Sen-
sors measurement values with "Function 04h (Read Input Register)".
Sewi TH Modbus Indoor Sensor Functions:
• Temperature measurements
• Humidity measurements
• Calculating the dew point temperature
Sewi AQS/TH Modbus Indoor Sensor Functions:
• Measuring the CO2 concentration in the air
• Temperature measurements
• Humidity measurements
• Calculating the dew point temperature
Tips for Dew Point Calculation:
The sensors Sewi Modbus calculate the ambient dew point temperature. This va-
lue can be used for dew point monitoring. This would require another sensor for
measuring the surface temperature of the wall or pipe. Also, the dew point needs
to be monitored (compare with temperatures) in the Modbus master.
Monitoring predetermines the possible condensate build-up on the surface, giving
a chance for timely countermeasures.

The product is compliant with the provisions of the EC guidelines.

1.1.1. Measuring accuracy

After applying the operating voltage, it can take up to 15 minutes until the CO
measured value is output correctly.
The CO sensor uses the last 7 minimum CO
2
ion. These 7 minimum values must be at least 18 hours apart and within the range
of 400 to 450 ppm (fresh air).
2. Installing and commissioning
Installation, testing, operational start-up and troubleshooting should
only be performed by an authorised electrician.
CAUTION!
Live voltage!
There are unprotected live components inside the device.
• Inspect the device for damage before installation. Only put undamaged
devices into operation.
• Comply with the locally applicable directives, regulations and provisions
for electrical installation.
• Immediately take the device or system out of service and secure it against
unintentional switch-on if risk-free operation is no longer guaranteed.
Use the device exclusively for building automation and observe the operating ins-
tructions. Improper use, modifications to the device or failure to observe the ope-
rating instructions will invalidate any warranty or guarantee claims.
Operate the device only as a fixed-site installation, i.e. only in assembled condition
and after conclusion of all installation and operational start-up tasks, and only in
the surroundings designated for it.
Elsner Elektronik is not liable for any changes in norms and standards which may
occur after publication of these operating instructions.

2.1. Installation location

Install and use only in dry interior rooms!
Avoid condensation.
The indoor sensor is installed on the wall or ceiling plaster.
While selecting the location, please ensure that the temperature, humidity and
CO2 measurements are minimally distorted by external influences as possible.
Possible sources of interference include:
• Direct sunlight
• Draughts from windows and doors
• Draughts from ducts coming from other rooms or the outdoors
• Warming or cooling of the building structure on which the sensor is
mounted, e.g. due to sunlight, heating or cold water pipes
• Connection lines and empty ducts which lead from warmer or colder areas
to the sensor
3. Commissioning
Never expose the device to water (e.g. rain) or dust. This can damage the electro-
nics. You must not exceed a relative humidity of 95%. Avoid condensation.
The air slots on the side must not be closed or covered.
After the operating voltage has been applied, the device will enter an initialisation
phase lasting a few seconds. During this phase no information can be received or
sent via the bus.

3.1.1. Printed circuit boards/connections

ATTENTION!
Make sure the connection is correct!
• Connect the power supply to 1 and 2 only.
• Use the data connections A and B exclusively for Modbus.
ATTENTION!
CO2 sensor with sensitive membrane in Sewi AQS/TH!
When handling the device, do not damage the white membrane.
