2 Product Overview PRODUCT OVERVIEW Introduction to GMW80 Series The Vaisala GMW80 series CARBOCAP® carbon dioxide and temperature transmitters are wall-mount transmitters designed to fulfill the needs for CO measurements in standard demand controlled ventilation applications. The CO measurement is based on a new generation CARBOCAP® sensor, which uses a novel, silicon-based microchip emitter instead of an incandescent light bulb.

2 Product Overview Temperature Setpoint Potentiometer Some GMW80 series transmitter models include a temperature setpoint function that gives the occupant of the monitored space a way to adjust the temperature. The setpoint function is implemented using a passive 10 kΩ potentiometer (variable resistor) that is mechanically actuated by a setpoint wheel on the lower part of the transmitter.
2 Product Overview Analog Output Overrange Behavior Analog outputs of the GMW80 series transmitters have a defined behavior when the values measured by the transmitter are outside the scaled analog output range: Output of the CO measurement is clipped at the end of the scaled output range (2000 ppm).
3 Installation INSTALLATION Selecting Location When mounting wall model transmitters: Select a location that represents well the area of interest. Do not install on the ceiling. Avoid placing the transmitter near heat and moisture sources, close to the discharge of the supply air ducts, and in direct sunlight. Figure 3 Selecting Transmitter Location Seal the cable opening when bringing a cable through the wall.
3 Installation 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. To open the transmitter after it has been installed: 1. Remove the locking screw if it has been installed. 2.
3 Installation Installing the Mounting Base 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.
3 Installation Wiring Connect the wiring to the screw terminals on the mounting base. The terminal assignments are marked next to the screw terminals. Maximum wire size is 2 mm (AWG14). Route the cable through the hole in the mounting base if possible. 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 mounting base.
4 Maintenance MAINTENANCE Cleaning The body of the transmitter can be cleaned by wiping with a moistened lint-free cloth. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents, or blow pressurized air into the transmitter housing. If you suspect the CO measurement module is dirty, do not attempt to open it.
4 Maintenance Replacing the CO Measurement Module (GM10) GM10 spare part module (Vaisala order code GM10SP80) Flat head screwdriver (for opening the transmitter) 1. Disconnect the transmitter body from the mounting base. 2. Locate the GM10 module on the transmitter. The module is a separate component board with a golden cuvette that contains the CARBOCAP®...
5 Troubleshooting TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Situations Table 4 Possible Problem Situations and their Remedies Problem Possible Cause Remedy Analog output reading is Analog output is in error Inspect the transmitter for unchanging and appears state. the cause of the error and incorrect.
5 Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause Remedy Use a portable reading is too low. The measured area contains instrument to verify the materials that bind CO reading at the (such as fresh concrete), installation location. Avoid producing a low-CO breathing on the environment.
5 Troubleshooting Technical Support For technical questions, contact the Vaisala technical support by e-mail at helpdesk@vaisala.com. Provide at least the following supporting information: Name and model of the product in question Serial number of the product Name and location of the installation site Name and contact information of a technically competent person who can provide further information on the problem.
