Functions Change Log HW Ver. FW Ver. Release Date Functions Change 2.5 5.1 MAY-2021 Innitial FW 2. Introduction WS433-CO2 sensor utilizes CMOSens® Technology for IR detection enables carbon dioxide measurements of the highest accuracy at a competitive price. Along with the NDIR measurement technology for detecting CO2 comes a best-in-class humidity and temperature sensor integrated on the same sensor module. Ambient humidity and temperature can be measured by special algorithm expertise through modelling and compensating of external heat sources without the need of any additional components. The wireless portion is Sub-GHz technology from Texas Instruments allows long range transmission at ultra-low power consumption. It will connect 2-way wirelessly to the wireless co-ordinator WS433-CL to send data and receiving the configuration. It can be configured the operation parameters like data sending interval, health check cycle...remotely from Globiots platform or via ModbusRTU software (thru the WS433-CL). Its default data rate is 50 kbps, can be switched to 625 bps to increase the communication range. The sensor can last up to 5 years with 2 x AA battery. 3.

Operation Principle 4.1 Process of measurement When the sensor sampling time interval is reached, For example 2 minutes, the node will wake up and switch ON the power supply to supply the energy to external sensor to start the measurement. Depends on the type and characteristic of external sensor, the sensor will take a certain time to finish the measurement. For example: the measurement time is 200mS, after this time, the node will read the value of sensor, node will switch OFF power supply to external sensor to save energy. The measured value is the raw value of the sensor. The measured value can be scaled according to the following formula: Y = aX + b X: the raw value from the sensor Y: the calculated value for parameter 1's value or parameter 2's value a: constant (default value is 1) b: constant (default value is 0) So, if there is no user setting for a and b ==> Y = X The Y value will be compared with Lo and Hi threshold. Please refer below the graph of alarm processing. Please note that the parameters below are for reference only For example 1: At default a1=1 and b1=0. We need to calibrate the sensor to a CO2 concentration of 50 ppm and 1000 ppm. When putting the sensor in an environment with a CO2 concentration of 50 ppm and 1000 ppm, we will have: The raw X1 value measured at 50 ppm (Y1 value) CO2 is 70ppm, and the value of X2 value at 1000 ppm (Y2 value) is 1100 ppm. Then: We solve the equation to get a and b. Then we configure parameters a1 and b1 into the sensor. Use the offline configuration tool to configure sensor. Write in the sensor the parameters a1 and b1. if a1 and b1 in sensor are different from a1=1 and b1=0 then write down a1 and b1 numbers in excel template configuration file Refer to Section 4.4 for more details. 4.2 Add sensors node to Co-ordinator WS433-CL 4.2.1 Add Sensor Node ID automatically Step 1: After supplying power the Co-ordinator via M12 connector, the Node ID must be registered within the first 5 minutes, up to 40 WS. Step 2: Bring the wireless sensor closer to the Co-ordinator's antenna then take off the wireless sensor battery, wait for 5s then insert the battery again. If: Buzzer plays 1 peep sound, LED blink 1 time, that means registering Node ID on Co-ordinator successfully. Buzzer plays 2 peep sounds, LED blink 2 times, that this Node ID is already registered. If you do not hear the "Peep" sound, please disconnect the power the co-ordinator, wait a few minute and try again. Node id added in this way will be written to the smallest node_id_n address which is = 0. Set Rssi_threshold (see RF MODE CONFIG (in the Modbus Memmap of WS433-CL), default -25): The case if Co-ordinator is on high position and need to add node sensor. We set the sensor as close as possible and set the Rssi_threshold to -80, -90 or -100 to increase the sensitivity to allow WS433-CL-04 can add sensors at a longer distance. After that, perform 2 steps of adding sensors and then reset Rssi_threshold = -25. Enb_auto_add_sensors configuration (see RF MODE CONFIG (in the Modbus Memmap of WS433-CL)): In case you do not want to turn off the power WS433-CL, you can set Enb_auto_add_sensors = 1, this way we have 5 minutes to add nodes (add up to 40 nodes) . After 5 minutes Enb_auto_add_sensors will automatically = 0.

Press and hold the button for 2 seconds => LED blinks once => Release the button to set Data rate RF 50kbps Press and hold the button for 5 seconds => LED blinks twice => Release the button to set Data rate RF 625bps Press and hold the button for 10 seconds => LED blinks 3 times => Release the button to reset RF parameters (frequency, RF output power, data rate), if held for more than 30 seconds then the button function does not work. Reset default WS433:Frequency: 433.92 MHzRF transmit power: 15 dBmRF data rate: 50 kbps 4.4 Configuration First, you need to prepare Num of Node will indicate the number of nodes managed by WS433-CL.Every time a node is added, the Num of Node will increase by 1.Every time a node is deleted, the Num of Node is reduced by 1.Writing Num of Node = 0 will delete all 40 node ids to 0.If you want to delete a node id, then write it = 0 with the Write function is 16 and the Read function is 3. Step 1: Connect Antenna, RS485 - configuration cable and power supply co-ordinator Step 2: Open Modbus tool on PC You can download Daviteq Modbus Configuration Tool with the following link: https://filerun.daviteq.com/wl/?id=qK0PGNbY1g1fuxTqbFW9SXtEvCw7bpc6 Template File: https://filerun.daviteq.com/wl/?id=ItFaeQgtCmXN98J7GaPdeZvKK5eS1Dd1 How to use the Modbus configuration software Unzip file and run file application "Daviteq Modbus Configuration Tool Version" Choose COM Port (the Port which is USB cable plugged in) Set the BaudRate: 9600, Parity: none Click “ Connect “ untill the Status displays “disconnected” to “connected“. It means the WS433-CL-04 is being connected with computer; Next, we need to import the configuration file for WS433-CL-04 by importing the csv file: Go to MENU: FILE / Import New / => select the template file. Step 3: Configure parameters of the sensor.

Installation 6.1 Installation location Wireless sensor utilize the ultra-low power 433Mhz RF signal to transmit/receive data with Wireless co-ordinator. To maximize the distance of transmission, the ideal condition is Line-of-sight (LOS) between the Wireless sensor and Gateway. In real life, there may be no LOS condition. However, the two modules still communicate each other, but the distance will be reduced significantly. ATTENTION:DO NOT cover the Wireless sensor or its antenna inside a completed metallic box or housing, because the RF signal can not pass through the metallic material. NOTE:Integrated WS433-CL / iConnector Coordinator The coordinator must be placed at least 4 meters above the ground and the sensor clearly visible. 6.2 Dimensions 6.2 Antenna Installation 6.3 Bracket mounting 6.4 Filter WARNINGS: Please make sure that the operating ambient temperature is right for the sensor. Prepare the professional tools for installation. The inappropriate tools may cause damage to the sensor. Please avoid contaminating the sensor's filter to ensure accurate measurement 6.4 Battery installation Steps for battery installation: Step 1: Using L hex key to unscrew M4 screws at the side of the housing and carefully pull out the top plastic housing in the vertical direction Step 2: Insert 02 x AA 1.5VDC battery, please take note the poles of the battery ATTENTION:REVERSED POLARITY OF BATTERIES IN 10 SECONDS CAN DAMAGE THE SENSOR CIRCUIT !
