Automatic Background Logic, or ABC Logic, is a patented
self-calibration technique that is designed to be used in
applications where concentrations will drop to outside
ambient conditions (400 ppm) at least
three times in a 14 day period, typically during
unoccupied periods.
*Full accuracy to be achieved utilizing ABC Logic. With
ABC Logic enabled, the sensor will typically reach its
operational accuracy after 25 hours of continuous
operation at a condition that it was exposed to ambient
reference levels of air at 400 ppm ±10 ppm CO
2
. Sensor
will maintain accuracy specifications with ABC Logic
enabled, given that it is at least four times in 21 days
exposed to the reference value and this reference value is
the lowest concentration to which the sensor is exposed.
ABC Logic requires continuous operation of the sensor for
periods of at least 24 hours. Note: Applies when used in
typical residential ambient air. Consult GE if other gases or
corrosive agents are part of the application environment.
Module 6613-F (Flow Through)
The diffusion membrane is replaced with a non-
permeable seal. The two
fl
ow ports can be used for
fl
ow
through sampling. Flow rate of 40 to 50 cc/min required.
Handling and Installation
The T6613 CO
2
OEM modules are infrared gas sensors on
a printed circuit board and should be treated carefully.
Precautions should be taken to observe specified limits
and prevent damage from electrostatic discharge or
rough handling. Please refer to ANSI/ESD S20. 20-1999
for more information on preventing ESD damage and
IPC 610 Rev D for more information on proper electronic
assembly practices.
Calibration
GE does not recommend the customer recalibrate the
T6613 module after installation. The sensor ABC Logic
algorithm will begin after 24 hours, adjusting the sensor
measurement resulting in sensor-to-sensor consistency.
If immediate consistency is desired, the sensors may be
single point calibrated using pre-mixed reference gas or
ambient air measured by a reference sensor.
