2.)
Run wiring between control and sensing
unit and into enclosure through access
holes. Connect wires from terminal
blocks in sensing unit to control unit per
Table 2 and GVU series control unit
data sheet.
5. START-UP
1.)
Verify all wiring connections are correct
and are tight.
2.)
Apply power and note the status LEDs.
Initially the LEDs will flash in sequence
(OK, LOW, MID, HIGH and AUTO)
to indicate a successful start-up. The
device will then enter a three minute
warm-up cycle and this is indicated by a
flashing AUTO LED and lit OK LED.
This mode will continue for three minutes
until the sensor has reached operating
temperature.
3.)
After the initial warm-up period, the device will enter normal operation. This will be indicated by
the AUTO LED being lit and also one pollution level LED being lit (OK, LOW, MID or HIGH).
Note that the sensor is calibrated at manufacture to be suitable for use in average room conditions. The
sensor filter will accumulate dust over a period of inactive time and the sensor must be allowed to burn-
in before proper operation. This time will vary depending on the storage time, but the unit will be suit-
able for pre-commissioning after about 30 minutes.
4.)
Replace cover.
