Chlorine containing refrigerants (CFC and HCFC) are considered to be damaging to the ozone layer

and contributing to the greenhouse effect. According to the Montreal Protocol, chlorine-containing

halocarbons should be completely dismissed and their manufacturing closed down.

Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC) contain no chlorine and are safer for the environment. Now

hydrofluorocarbons are the most commonly used halocarbon refrigerants.

Hydrofluoroolefins (HFO) is the last generation of refrigerants, more environmentally friendly than

HFCs, but moderately flammable (A2L Class).

Product description

E2648 series heavy duty detectors-transmitters belong to the PluraSens® family of          

multifunctional measurement instruments. The instruments utilize gas sensors of various         

types with excellent repeatability, stability, and long lifetime. Due to its IP66 enclosure of             

die-cast aluminum, the device may be used under harsh conditions.

E2648 series provides two independent analog outputs OUT1 and OUT2, user-selectable to           

4-20 mA or 0-10 V, proportional to gas concentrations. RS485 Modbus RTU digital            

communication interface allows easy instrument configuration and integration into various         

automation systems.

The following features are available as an option:

●Two relays RE1 and RE2 with closing contacts. Relay outputs can be used to             

switch alarm sirens, ventilation fans, shut-off valves, or other actuators,

●24 VAC or 230 VAC as options for power supply module,

●Remote probe.

The version of your detector is marked on the package. If the symbol ⚠ is marked on the                 

equipment, consult the documentation for further information.

Safety requirements

Misuse will impair the protection of the product. Always adhere to the safety provisions             

applicable in the country of use.

Do not perform any maintenance operation with the power on. Do not let water or foreign               

objects inside the device.

Removal of the PCB from the enclosure voids the warranty. Do not touch the electronic              

components directly, as they are sensitive to static electricity.

Connection diagrams can be found in the electrical connections section. The device might            

not perform correctly or be damaged if the wrong power supply is connected.

External circuits connected to the equipment should have sufficient insulation rating          

according to the environmental conditions and equipment power.

A disconnecting device that is marked as such and easily accessible should be included in              

Operating conditions

The device should be used both in a non-hazardous area and in a basic electromagnetic              

environment, where the latter is defined in EN 61326-1. Avoid strong mechanical shock and             

vibrations. Avoid corrosive atmosphere and areas highly contaminated with dust, oil mist,           

etc. Keep the instrument away from direct sunlight. A sudden temperature or humidity            

change might affect the sensitivity of the sensor.

Installation guidelines

Before proceeding with the installation it is mandatory to read the Safety requirements            

section and make sure to comply with all listed instructions. Installation standards EN            

60079-29-2 and EN 45544-4 are also recommended for further instructions and related           

information about the installation. During the installation of the transmitter the following           

points must be considered:

●Application (the instrument is intended for leakage control.)

●Properties of the space under investigation (room geometry, direction, and         

velocity of airflows, etc.),

●Halocarbons are heavier than air and tend to sink. The sensor should be placed             

near the floor.

●The device should be accessible for maintenance and repair.

The aforementioned conditions above will affect the coverage area of the device. however,            

the coverage area for a transmitter is usually between 2.5 to 5 meters radius.

For early leakage detection install the sensor as close as possible to the potential leakage              

sources (flanges, valves, pressure reducers, pumps, etc.), taking into consideration other          

points listed above.

Do not locate the detector close to ventilation openings and strong air currents. Avoid the              

areas without air circulation (corners, niches) as well.

For general area monitoring without definite leakage sources, the detectors should be           

distributed evenly in the room.

For personal safety control, the detectors are installed in the breathing zone (at the height              

of the head of people or animals). The recommended sensor position is vertical, pointing             

downwards.

Unscrew four lid screws and detach the lid from the transmitter. Attach the device to a wall                

with screws passing through mounting holes. The device is fixed on the wall using two              

holes located outside the sealed area of the device.

Sensor probe handling

The E2648 series devices are available with a remote probe. The remote probe is             

connected to the main unit with a shielded cable. The default remote probe cable length is               



A)Wall mount remote probe with fixing clamp (default version),

B)Remote probe with rubber flange and three self-tapping screws (on request)



The sensor probes of all types are equipped with a hydrophobic microporous PTFE filter to              

protect the sensor from dust, dirt, and water drops. The filter should be replaced if it gets                

strongly contaminated. To replace the PTFE filter, unscrew the sensor head cap and            

remove the old filter. Place a new filter into the cap and tighten it again.

NOTE! Never stab or press the filter near its center where the sensor is located since this                

may damage the sensor. Do not remove the filter as it may cause the device to show                

incorrect values and/or break the sensor.

The recommended orientation of the sensor probe is vertical with the sensor tip pointing             

downwards. This prevents the possible accumulation of condensed water on the sensor           

protection filter.

Gas sensor replacement procedures

1. Remove the sensor head cap from the device (or the remote probe),

2. Remove the PTFE filter (if it is not removed within the cap),

3. Remove the O-ring rubber,

4. Detach the NDIR sensor from the device,

5. Insert the new NDIR sensor inside,

6. Put back the O-ring rubber, PTFE filter, and the head cap, respectively.

NOTE! Metal oxide semiconductor sensors are not replaceable.
