CHAPTER 2 PRODUCT OVERVIEW This chapter introduces the Carbon Dioxide Transmitter Series GMT220. GMT220 Transmitter Parts Vaisala’s GMT220 transmitters are versatile instruments for measuring ® in industrial applications. The CARBOCAP sensor is silicon based and its operation is based on the NDIR Single-Beam Dual-Wavelength principle.
Figure 3 LED Indicators and Optional Display For GMP221 probe, the display shows percentage values with two decimal accuracy, for example 0.31 %. For GMP222 probe, the display shows ppm values rounded up to the nearest 10 ppm. VAISALA _______________________________________________________________________ 11...

Figure 4 Mounting the Transmitter The following numbers refer to Figure 4 above: Attach the mounting plate to the wall with screws. Press down the transmitter so that it slides along the rails of the mounting plate. VAISALA _______________________________________________________________________ 13...
USER'S GUIDE____________________________________________________________________ Duct or Channel Mounting When the probe is installed in a duct or channel, it is recommended to use the optional mounting flange (GM45156SP). 1. Drill a hole with minimum diameter of 22 mm in the wall. 2. Attach the flange onto the duct with four screws so that the gasket ring seals the attachment.
4...20mA is chosen, connect the jumper (default). If the range of 0...20 mA is chosen, disconnect the jumper. Connecting the power leads to the output terminals can seriously CAUTION damage the product. 0807-037 Figure 6 Electrical Connections and Jumpers VAISALA _______________________________________________________________________ 15...

Install a spare probe and tighten the clamping sleeve. All the calibration electronics are in the probe. The new probe is automatically identified by the control electronics of the transmitter. NOTE Disconnection of the probe causes an error and switches the relays OFF. VAISALA _______________________________________________________________________ 27...
(see sections Technical Support on page 33 and Product Returns on page 33). Calibrator GMK220 The Vaisala GMK220 calibrator is intended for spot checking and two- point calibration of the GMT220 series probes. The calibration parameters are stored to the nonvolatile memory of the probes. Contact Vaisala's representative to get more information about the GMK220.
0.4...1.0 l/min through the adapter chamber. If an adjustment is needed, it can be carried out by a user with a Vaisala's hand-held carbon dioxide meter GM70. Probes can also be sent to Vaisala Service Centers (see sections Technical Support on page 33 and Product Returns on page 33) to be calibrated.
USER'S GUIDE____________________________________________________________________ - Flow meter - Field check adapter (Vaisala order code: 26150GM) - Flexible tubing with 3 mm (1/8 inch) inner diameter Two-Point Adjustment Procedure Please take special care regarding the following when carrying out the CAUTION adjustment: - Check that you give the correct reference concentrations in the correct units.
The analyzed CO concentration of the reference gas is typically printed on the bottle. Take care that you give the correct value in correct units, as you cannot revert to the earlier values after accepting the new values. Press VAISALA _______________________________________________________________________ 31...
USER'S GUIDE____________________________________________________________________ Confirm the adjustment, press . By pressing you return to adjustment mode display. (If the difference between the two references is less than 20% of the measuring range of the probe, adjustment cannot be done). BACK-EXIT Adjustment is complete. Press to return to the basic display.
Shut off the gas flow. Replace the screw onto the adjusting button. 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...
