Product Specification

Product Description:

YJJ CL2-B1 Chlorine Gas Secondary Development Module Electrochemical Sensor + Signal Conditioning Digital Module

Features:

CL2-B1 Chlorine Gas Secondary Development Module (CL2-B1 Electrochemical Sensor + Signal Conditioning Digital Module)

> Note: CL2-B1 is the original electrochemical bare sensor; **Secondary development module = CL2-B1 sensor + Special Electrochemical Bias Conditioning Circuit + MCU Signal Processing Board**, completing I-V conversion, zero point, temperature compensation, and outputting digital/analog signals externally, directly connecting to PLC, microcontrollers, industrial control systems, without needing to perform weak current conditioning by oneself

II. Complete Electrical Parameters of the Secondary Development Module (Common Digital Module Specifications Available on the Market)

Table

| Power Supply | **DC 9-24V wide voltage range**; typical power consumption < 120mA |

| Signal Output (either one or dual output) | ①RS485 - Modbus - RTU (digital); ②4-20mA analog |

| 4-20mA Mapping | 4mA = 0ppm; 20mA=20ppm |

| RS485 default | 9600‑8‑N‑1; Address 1; Address and baud rate can be modified |

| Module output data | Chlorine gas concentration (ppm), sensor temperature, device status, fault bit |

| Accuracy (whole machine) | ±3% FS (including sensor + circuit error) |

| Update rate | 1Hz; Configurable |

| Protection | Circuit board IP30; Sensor chamber IP40 |

| Size | Approximately 85×55×35mm (varies slightly by different manufacturers) |

III. Key registers of Modbus‑RTU (Key focus for secondary development)

| Register address | Function | Data type | Description |

| 0x0000 | Chlorine gas concentration | uint16 | Original value, multiplied by 10; Example: 125 → 12.5 ppm |

| 0x0001 | Module internal temperature | int16 | Multiplied by 10 |

| 0x0002 | Device status | uint16 | 0 - Normal; 1 - Sensor fault; 2 - Zero point abnormal |

| 0x0100 | Device address | uint16 | 1 - 247 (writeable) |

| 0x0101 | Baud rate setting | uint16 | 0 = 9600, 1 = 19200… |

Reading example: Register 0x0000 returns `00C8`, decimal 200 → 20.0 ppm (full scale).

IV. Pin Definitions (Standard 5-pin Terminal)

| 1 | VCC+ 9‑24VDC |

| 2 | GND Power Ground |

| 3 | 485‑A |

| 4 | 485‑B |

| 5 | 4-20mA Output |

Key Considerations for Secondary Development

1. Polarization Time**: The module must be polarized for 2-4 hours before power-on for the electrochemical sensor to stabilize; new sensors must be fully polarized before being calibrated with Alphasense.

2. Condensation Hazard**: Chlorine module must not have condensation; condensation will directly corrode the electrochemical electrolyte and permanently damage the sensor; in high-humidity scenarios, additional air path drying and filtering are required.

3. Interference Gases**: Reading is falsely high when there is NO₂ (nitrogen dioxide) in the environment; the software needs to perform cross-compensation.

4. Zero Point Calibration**: Zero point calibration must be completed by introducing clean zero air; it is not allowed to forcibly zero in normal indoor air.

5. IST Version Differentiation**: CL2-B1-IST (with onboard storage + temperature chip) module can read the original factory sensitivity parameters, simplifying calibration; ordinary CL2-B1 does not have an IST chip and requires manual writing of sensitivity.

6. Wiring**: RS485 communication is recommended to use shielded twisted pair; the 4-20mA load resistance should be ≤ 500Ω.

Applications
