Use software Tsensor for setting of all device parameters (recommended). It is free to download at www.cometsystem.cz. It supports make the adjustment of the device too. This procedure is described at file „Calibration manual.pdf“ which is installed commonly with the software. Change of some parameters is possible to do without user’s software with Windows hyperterminal...
Device setting from the manufacturer If special setting was not required in the order device is set from the manufacturer to the following parameters: communication protocol: Modbus RTU device address: communication speed: 9600Bd, without parity, 2 stop bits display: switched ON value displayed at higher line: CO concentration value displayed at lower line: temperature...
Device installation Devices are designed for indoor applications. It is recommended to mount them on universal wiring box (common installation box KU68) with using two enclosed mounting screws. For correct function there is necessary to find proper device place. It shouldn’t be placed at places where it can be affected by sunshine, near radiators, heating elements and other heat sources, air handlers, windows, doors, into racks and shelves and similar places.

Device demounting If there is necessary demount the device, insert flat bladed screwdriver max. 3.5 mm wide from top side into middle device’s air hole. There is fastening member placed, insert screwdriver beyond the fastening member about 2 cm deep. Then slightly move screwdriver in arrow direction, it unlock fastening member and the device is partially opened.
Info mode If in doubt of setting of installed device, verification of its address is enabled even without using computer. Power supply should be connected and jumper should be opened. Jumper is accessible after removing the front part of device (jumper is placed at the right bottom corner at the same side as button).
Description of communication protocols Detailed description of each communication protocols including examples of communication is available in individual document “Description of communication protocols” which is available at www.cometsystem.cz (see appropriate transmitter pages). Note: After switching on the power of the device it can last up to 2 s before the device starts to communicate and measure! Modbus RTU Control units communicate on master-slave principle in half-duplex...

Jumper closed – writing to device memory is enabled by means of User’s software Jumper opened and button shortly pressed – device goes to Info mode, see chapter „Info mode“ Jumper closed and button pressed for longer than six seconds – causes restoring of manufacturer setting of communication protocol, i.e.
register is designed for writing, for details see description of communication protocols register addresses are indexed from zero – register 0x31 is physically sent as value 0x30, 0x32 as 0x31 (zero based addressing). Note: In case there is a need for reading of measured values from the device with higher resolution than one decimal, measured values in device are stored also in „Float“...
If jumper during switching ON the power is not closed, device communicates in accordance with stored setting. Communication speed and check sum are possible to change only if jumper is closed. Jumper closed and button pressed for longer than six seconds – causes restoring of manufacturer setting of communication protocol, i.e.
Troubleshooting Error states of the device Device continuously checks its state during operation. In case error is found LCD displays corresponding error code: Error 0 - first line displays „Err0“. Check sum error of stored setting inside device’s memory. This error appears if incorrect writing procedure to device’s memory occurred or if damage of calibration data appeared.

Appendix A Connection of T8448 transmitter to the PC The ELO E214 converter is an optional accessory for connection of transmitter with RS485 interface to the PC via USB port. Link RS485 is connected across pin 9 A(+) and pin 8 B(-). The pull up, pull down and termination resistors are part of the transmitter.
