Ammonia

A colorless gas, highly soluble in water, with a characteristic pungent smell.

Ammonia is a large-scale production of the chemical industry widely used as a raw

material for the production of fertilizers and explosives, as a refrigerant, as a cleaning and

antimicrobial agent.

Ammonia is also produced naturally from the decomposition of organic matter, including

plants and animals.

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.

The 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

the installation of this product.

E2648-NH3-E Rev 22.06.2021

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.),

●Ammonia is lighter than air, so the sensor should be placed higher than the

potential leakage or formation source.

●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

3 m.

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 electrochemical sensor from the device,

5. Insert the new electrochemical sensor inside,

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

E2648-NH3-E Rev 22.06.2021

Electrical connections

Unscrew four lid screws and detach the lid from the device. Use the M16 cable gland to let

in cables of the power supply and of the external devices. Attach the power cable to the

device without turning it on. Using the connection diagram below, connect the analog

outputs and digital interface terminals to the relevant devices according to your tasks.
