SETUP – WIRING

The following diagrams show terminal locations for each version of the total sense. The number of options selected will determine which of the terminals are included on each device, for example, if only one sensor is chosen, only 1 pair of analog terminals will be present. Each device will have 4-8 terminals
on the left side, 0-4 on the top, and 0-4 on the right side.
Analog Wiring*These terminals may not be populated depending on which model is ordered.
Communications Wiring

NOTE: A 120 Ω termination resistance may be added in parallel with the RS-485 +/- by moving the very top DIP switch (DIP 1) to the left position. See the “DIP Configuration” section for more information.

SETUP – ANALOG

Switch 1 with two DIP switches will be provided with every device and Switch 2 with an additional 12 DIP switches will be provided with communications devices. The following diagram shows how each setting can be configured using the provided switches.For analog voltage output, select either 0-5V (left) or 0-10V (right) outputs. These analog ranges can be adjusted using the color OLED display. Adjustments made using the OLED display will override this DIP switch setting.

SETUP – COMMUNICATIONS

DIP switches 1-7 can be arranged in 127 binary configurations to set the MAC address (BACnet) or the Modbus address. Similarly, the baud rate can be set by DIP switches 8-10 and the data/parity/stop bit can be set by DIP switches 11 and 12.

FEATURE – AIR QUALITY

If Air Quality is selected to be displayed or if the Air quality Ring option is selected, the device will monitor each CO2, VOC, PM, RH, and Temp sensor present and will display accordingly. The average air quality is calculated as follows:

1. Each sensor’s current reading is rated according to the below thresholds and given an air quality index (AQI). For each sensor, a good rating is given an AQI of 90, fair is given an AQI of 60, and poor is given an AQI of  0
2. The average air quality is calculated and a total air quality rating is assigned based on the following thresholds. These thresholds can be adjusted using communications or in the “Air Quality Settings” menu from the display.
   a. Good ≥ 75
   b. 55 < Fair < 75
   c. Poor ≤ 55

   	GOOD (AQI 90)	FAIR (AQI 60)	POOR (AQI 0)
   PM2.5	<35 ug/m3	35-55 ug/m3	>55ug/m3
   TVOC	<1000 ug/m3	1000-3000 ug/m3	>3000 ug/m3
   CO2	<1200 PPM	1200-2000 PPM	>2000 PPM
   Temp	64-79°F	<64°F, >79°F
   RH	30-60%	<30%, >60%	<10%, >90%

FEATURE – PIR OCCUPANCY

If the PIR option is selected, the PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor will trigger anytime it detects motion. If used to activate the relay or as a communications data point, an off-delay can be programmed using the display or through communications. The below shows the distance at which the sensor will trigger
a motion event based on its adjustable sensitivity rating. A motion event, for the purpose of this graph, is considered the movement of a person or large object.

FEATURE – AIR QUALITY RING

An Air Quality (AQ) Ring may be selected in place of a display.
The AQ ring will glow green, yellow, or red according to the detected levels of CO2, PM, VOC, RH, and Temp. See the “Feature – Air Quality” section for thresholds. The AQ Ring may be disabled or brightness may be adjusted if the communications model is selected. Additionally, it may be set to only display yellow or red when air quality has degraded to fair or poor levels. See TotalSense “BACnet/Modbus User Guide” for more information. AQ Ring will turn on and off at a 5-second interval if a sensing error occurs. See the “Troubleshooting” section for information.

FEATURE – SETPOINT RELAY

All TotalSense models come standard with a setpoint relay except those ordered with a PM sensor. The relay source determines which reading or status will activate the relay. This can be set or adjusted using the display or communications. See ‘Display Navigation Guide’ or the applicable protocol guide for details. Each source selection has a range listed below. To set turnon and turn-off thresholds, a percentage of this range can be entered into each corresponding parameter. On display versions, the calculated value will show as the percentage is adjusted. Each time a new source is selected, a default relay threshold will be set based on which technology is chosen. These auto-set values are listed in the table below.

*To calculate threshold % for a given temperature, use the following equation:
% Threshold = (T+40)/162*100
Where T is the temperature in °F

TVOC OPERATION

Training Mode
The TVOC sensor has artificial intelligence (AI) that allows it to sense and understand different environments. This AI may take up to 7 days to acclimate o  an environment once installed. For this reason, a TVOC reading is not included in the Air Quality calculation until it has been powered for 7 days. During this time, the sensor will go into “training mode” and will not display or output a TVOC value. Instead, the display will show “Training days” where  X” is how many days the device has been in training mode and 7 days is the expected duration. Once it reaches 7 days, reading will be shown. Using communications, the TVOC reading will show a countdown from -7 to 0 days; once it hits zero the device will switch into normal operation.

Manual Calibration
No manual field calibration is necessary. To maintain accuracy TVOC sensor will be required to be exposed to fresh air at least once every 10 days. This can be accomplished by increasing airflow in an area or by opening a window.
Scaling:
Seva’s TVOC sensor uses an Ethanol reading to determine a raw TVOC value. Additionally, conversion from µg/m3 uses the molecular weight of Ethanol. To scale based on a different gas baseline, the user may enter a scaling factor in TVOC Settings on the display or user communications.

CO2 CALIBRATION

Automatic Calibration feature:
The CO2 sensor will automatically baseline CO2 levels and gradually make adjustments to compensate for sensor drift due to the long-term aging of the IR light source. In applications where CO2 levels are continuously elevated, or spaces are occupied day and night, it is recommended to use our dual channel  CO2 sensor with automatic calibration disabled. Seva CO2 sensors are factory calibrated to control test gases. No field calibration is necessary or recommended. However, to facilitate compliance with job requirements and commissioning procedures, provisions for field calibration are provided:

1. Locate calibration instruments and sensors in close proximity to each other in a controlled environment free of drafts, people, and equipment to reduce the influence on CO2 and temperature.
2. Compare the output of the sensor to the calibration instrument, and note the difference. (In 0-10V mode/2000ppm range, 1V =200ppm) Refer to the “Setup- display”  section to adjust the offset value for CO2 as needed. Factory calibration may be restored by setting the offset back to 0. In extreme cases where the sensor module has been damaged, a new module may be installed in the field. Consult the factory for replacement modules and instructions.
