SOLUTIONS MODEL 4GS

t
DESCRIPTION
The Texas Instruments 4GS Series carbon dioxide sen-

n
sors are dependable, economical devices designed to be
used as inputs to building automation systems for effi-

e
cient control of ventilation. Using ambient CO2 levels to
adjust ventilation based on demand is recognized by
ASHRAE as one of the few ways to comply with both the
ventilation and energy standards. The 4GS Series pro-

m
vides an analog output of CO 2 concentration from a
small, attractive wall mount package. An optional relay

u
output is available for direct control of equipment, and an
optional LCD display may be used for local indication.

c
For duct applications, the 4GS may be combined with an
optional aspiration box. If the duct pressure is positive or

o
neutral and air velocity exceeds 200 ft/min (1.0 m/s), a
less expensive impact sampling tube may be used.

MOUNTING

D
d
The 4GS sensor should be mounted in an area that is representative of the conditioned space to be monitored.

e
Avoid drafty windows and doorways that might tend to dilute the atmosphere being controlled. Mounting height of
4 1/2 to 5 feet (1.2 to 1.5 m) is recommended but is not critical since carbon dioxide diffuses rapidly in air.

iv
The 4GS comes factory configured for 4-20 mA analog output. If voltage output is required, moving the jumper on
the back of the unit from “I” to “V” will change the output to 0-10 VDC. The voltage output may in turn be changed to
0-5 VDC, the sensing range adjusted, and the (optional) relay setpoint changed by use of the programming keys on

h
the back of the 4GS and its optional LCD display. Units with no display will require the CAL-B-KEY calibration key-
pad for adjustment. Refer to the programming manual supplied with the 4GS for configuration and calibration

c
instructions.
