3. Introduction
The Sensepoint XCD comprises a gas detector transmitter and a choice of sensors for detecting
flammable gas, toxic gas and oxygen. The construction of Sensepoint XCD allows it to be used in
hazardous area locations; it may also be used in other areas not classified as hazardous.
The transmitter features a display and three programmable relays for controlling external equipment
e.g. alarms, sirens, valves or switches. The transmitter provides an industry standard
3-wire, 4-20 mA source or sink output for connection to a dedicated gas detection control system or
PLC.
Calibration and maintenance are carried out using a Magnetic Wand, this allows a single user to
undertake routine maintenance without needing to access internal components. Sensepoint XCD is
suitable for use in Zone 1 or 2 hazardous areas (International) or Class I Division 1 or 2 area applications
(North America).

Transmitter
The transmitter enclosure has three threaded entries. The two cable/conduit entries either side of the
upper part of the transmitter housing are for connecting the power source, signal output and relay
contacts to associated signalling equipment. The bottom entry allows direct connection of the sensor
socket. There is a mounting plate incorporated into the transmitter housing allowing for various mounting
configuration options.
A local LCD provides gas type, concentration, alarm and operating status. The display provides
numerical, bar graph and icon information.
Diagnostic information may also be displayed when the transmitter is interrogated using a magnet. The
transmitter cover has a glass window which allows use of the Magnetic Wand to activate the three-user
interface magnetic switches that are located on the front of the display module. The magnet also enables
a non-intrusive, one-man calibration and configuration facility for the Sensepoint XCD Flammable, Toxic
and Oxygen Gas sensors
The Sensepoint XCD transmitter is designed to work with a variety of gas sensors for detecting
flammable gases. Sensepoint XCD sensors use NDIR infrared and electro-catalytic technologies.
In addition, the Sensepoint XCD transmitter is designed to work with a wide range of toxic gas
sensors. Sensepoint XCD sensors for monitoring toxic gas or oxygen use electro-chemical cell
(ECC) technology. Oxygen sensors measure Oxygen deficiency and enrichment in the range
0 – 25 % v/v. They do not measure inertisation.

Options
3.3.1. Modbus®
The optional Modbus® interface is one of the most common field buses in the industry and allows the
Sensepoint XCD to connect to a bus of devices and transmit data to PLCs or controllers (see Appendix
A). Connections to the Sensepoint XCD are made through a pluggable terminal block on the Modbus ®
interface circuit board. Modbus® RTU protocol uses ASCII/Hex protocols for communication. and allows
all transmitter/sensor front panel functions to be transmitted using this industrial fieldbus. Modbus ®
protocol is a Master-Slaves protocol. Only one master (at the same time) is connected to the bus and
one or up to 32 slave nodes are also connected to the same serial bus. Modbus ® communication is
always initiated by the master. The slave nodes will never transmit data without receiving a request
from the master node. The slave nodes will never communicate with each other. The master node
initiates only one Modbus® transaction at the same time.
Modbus® option is available only for selected gases. Please refer to chapter 14 Ordering information.
To find out if a unit has the Modbus® option fitted, look at the part number on the product label. Units
fitted with Modbus® have the letter ‘M’ at the end of the part number.

Transmitter Wiring
CAUTION
All electrical connections should be made in accordance with any relevant local or
national legislation, standards or codes of practice.
The Sensepoint XCD transmitter may be wired in either Current SOURCE or Current SINK configuration.
These two options are offered to allow greater flexibility in the type of control system that it can be used
with. SOURCE/SINK is selectable via the switch located on the back side of the display module;
accessible by removing the display module during installation / commissioning (see chapter 9).
Note: Terminate cable screen at detector or controller, not both.
A 250 Ohm load resistor (RL) is installed in the factory; When connected to controller, this resistor should
be removed since controller has a load resistor installed internally.

Sensepoint XCD Technical Manual SPXCDHMANEN Issue 15
Terminal connections
Note: Ensure that none of the wires in the terminal area cause an obstruction when refitting the Display
Module. Ensure that the socket on the Display Module is fully engaged in the Display Module Connector
on the Terminal Module.
21
Sensepoint XCD Technical Manual SPXCDHMANEN Issue 15
Power
The Sensepoint XCD transmitter requires a power supply from the controller of between 12 Vdc and
32 Vdc. Ensure that a minimum supply of 12 Vdc is measured at the sensor, considering the voltage
drop due to cable resistance.
The maximum loop resistance in the field cable is calculated as follows:
Example:
The controller is supplying a nominal 24 Vdc (V controller), the detector minimum allowable voltage is
12 Vdc (V detector min), therefore the maximum allowable voltage drop between the controller and detector
is 12 Vdc; this means a voltage drop of 6 V in each core (+ve core and -ve core).
22
Sensepoint XCD Technical Manual SPXCDHMANEN Issue 15
Cabling
CAUTION
All unused and used cable/conduit entries must be sealed with a suitable certified
sealing plug and cable gland.
For example, screened 3 cores (plus screen 90 % coverage), suitably mechanically protected copper
cable with a suitable M20 explosion-proof gland, or 3/4’ NPT steel conduit, with 0.5 to 2.5 mm2
(20 to 13 AWG) conductors. Ensure the cable gland is installed correctly and fully tightened. All unused
cable/conduit entries must be sealed with a suitable certified sealing plug (one plug is supplied).
Cable to Transmitter
23
Sensepoint XCD Technical Manual SPXCDHMANEN Issue 15
The earth screen of the field cable should be ‘tied to Earth’ or connected to ground at one point only. It
is common practice to adopt a STAR EARTH connection regime where all instrumentation screens are
connected at one common point.
The screen at the other end of the cable should be ‘parked’ or terminated into a blank terminal.
The following diagrams show how to install the wire into the ground screw of the enclosure.
External Ground Connection: If required by local authority, utilize a 4 mm2 copper, (Stranded or Solid),
wire. Loosen the screw sufficiently to enable ‘wrapping the wire around the screw in a ‘U’ shape. Raise
the clamp and place the wire between the clamp and ground base, lower the clamp and tighten the
screw to a torque of 10.4 lb-in.

Prior to carrying out any HOT WORK ensure local and site procedures are followed.
Ensure that the associated control panel output actuation is inhibited so as to prevent false
alarms.
CAUTION
The following procedure should be followed carefully and only performed by suitably
trained personnel.
Note: Calibration is mandatory before the detector can be used for gas monitoring. Refer to chapter 9.1
Calibration for the proper procedure.
1. Remove the transmitter housing cover and detach the display unit by lifting the semi- circular
handle and pulling the assembly directly away from the termination module (without twisting it)
2. Configure the detector's analogue output signal configuration for Current SINK or Current
SOURCE operation using the selector switch located on the back of the display module. The
default setting is Current SOURCE.
3. Check that all electrical connections are terminated correctly as per chapter 5.
4. Switch On the external power supply to the transmitter at the safe area gas detection controller
(or PLC).
5. Using a Digital Multi Meter (DMM), check the Supply Voltage at the terminals 1 (24 V) and
2 (0 V), this should be a minimum supply voltage of 12 Vdc or 16 Vdc depending on the
transmitter version (Maximum supply voltage is 32 Vdc)
6. Switch Off the external power to the detector.
7. Refit the Display Module and Cover.
Note: Ensure that none of the wires in the terminal area cause an obstruction when refitting the Display
Module. Ensure that the socket on the Display Module is fully engaged in the Display Module Connector
on the Terminal Module.

Sensepoint XCD Technical Manual SPXCDHMANEN Issue 15
A simple Response Check often referred to as a ‘BUMP TEST’ is a test using calibration gas applied to
the sensor via the nozzle of the Weather Protection or using the Sensepoint XCD Gassing Cap.
If a BUMP TEST is done via the Weather Protection nozzle it may be necessary in windy conditions to
increase the flow rate of the test gas by a further 1 l/min, OR, to shelter the weather protection from the
wind.
A full gas calibration of the sensor as described in the following section, using ONLY the Sensepoint
XCD Gassing Cap (Part No.: S3KCAL).
WARNING
As some calibration gases may be hazardous, ensure that outlets from gassing accessories
exhaust safely.
CAUTION
Before initial calibration allow the detector to stabilize for 30 minutes after applying power.
When in zeroing and span calibration mode the current output from the detector is
inhibited (default 2 mA) to avoid false alarms. For Flammable gas calibration use a
calibration gas concentration of between 25 % LEL and 75 % LEL to ensure that the
required accuracy can be attained. For Hydrogen Sulfide type sensors refer to chapter 9.2
before conducting zero and span calibration. For toxic sensors use a calibration gas of
approximately 50 % FSD.
To calibrate the detector, use an appropriate span gas cylinder, constant flow regulator AND the
Sensepoint XCD Gassing Cap (see chapter 3.2). The flow rates used for calibration gas are as follows:
34
Sensepoint XCD Technical Manual SPXCDHMANEN Issue 15
A compressed air cylinder (20.9 % v/v oxygen) should be used to perform the zero calibration if the
area where the detector is located contains any residual amount of the target gas. If no residual gas
is present, then the background air can be used to perform the zero calibration. Contact your
Honeywell Analytics representative for details of suitable calibration kits.
Note: The Oxygen sensor does not require a zeroing procedure. Background air (20.9 % v/v oxygen)
can be used to span the oxygen sensor in place of a compressed air cylinder (20.9 % v/v oxygen). For
oxygen sensors only do parts 1-4, 12, 13 (if compressed air cylinder is used), 14-17 and 22 of the
procedure below.
WARNING
When calibrating the Flammable IR or CO2 IR sensors, it is essential that the zero
calibration is always followed by a span calibration. The zero calibration must never be
done alone.
Note: When the Flammable-CAT sensor is replaced, it is necessary to re-initialize the baseline. Select
‘InIt bASE’ from the menu system.
1. If the ambient air is NOT considered reliable to use to set the ZERO, then remove the weather
protection and fit the Gassing Cap accessory (see chapter 3.2) onto the sensor and apply a
clean source of zero gas or compressed air.
2. To access the calibration menu, hold the end of the magnet over the switch located at the top
centre of the detector display (✓) for at least 3 seconds and then remove.
3. The display will indicate the first configuration mode menu ‘SEt CAL’.
4. Place the magnet over the ‘✓’ switch again and move to enter the Calibration menu.
5. The display will show the current gas reading, and the ‘ ’ icon flashes.
6. When the zero gas reading is stable use ‘✓’ to confirm zero calibration.
7. If successful the display shows ‘ZEro PASS’ (if not successful, the display shows ‘ZEro FAIL’ and
returns to configuration mode).
35
Sensepoint XCD Technical Manual SPXCDHMANEN Issue 15
10. If span calibration is required use ‘✓’ proceed to the next step. If span calibration is not required,
use ‘’ to select ‘No’ and ‘✓’ to return to configuration mode.
WARNING
When calibrating the Flammable IR or CO2 IR sensors, it is essential that the span
calibration is done after a zero calibration.
2. The display will show the current gas reading, and the ‘ ’ icon flashes.
4. Apply the span gas to the sensor using the Sensepoint XCD Gassing Cap (see chapter 3.2 for
description). The live gas reading is displayed. When the reading is stable, use ‘✓’ to confirm
span calibration.
5. If the sensor has been replaced the following display may be shown.
36
Sensepoint XCD Technical Manual SPXCDHMANEN Issue 15
6. Use ‘’ to select ‘YES’ if the sensor has been replaced or ‘No’ if it has not been replaced.
7. If the span calibration is successful, the instrument will briefly display ‘SPAn PASS’ (if fails
‘SPAN FAIL’ displayed and returns to configuration mode).
Note: the calibration due warning counter is reset after a successful calibration. See chapter 12.2 for
further details of setting a calibration due warning.
1. The display alternates between ‘Purg gAS’ and the gas reading to indicate that the unit is
expecting the span gas to be removed from the sensor.
2. Promptly switch off the calibration span gas and remove the Sensepoint XCD Gassing Cap
from the sensor to allow the gas to disperse.
3. When the reading falls below 50% of the calibration gas level the display indicates a countdown
(up to 180 seconds dependant on gas type).
5. The instrument returns to the ‘Set CAL’ menu. Activate the ‘’ or ‘’ switch to select another
menu or select ‘QuIT’ to return to normal monitoring mode.
37
Sensepoint XCD Technical Manual SPXCDHMANEN Issue 15
Note: Remember to always replace the Weather Protection and other accessories.
38
Sensepoint XCD Technical Manual SPXCDHMANEN Issue 15
When calibrating Hydrogen Sulfide cartridges, the following should be considered while following the
procedure in 10.1:
1. To zero the sensor, use a compressed air cylinder of 20.9 % v/v oxygen (not Nitrogen). Do not
use background air.
Apply the gas to the sensor for three minutes before using ‘✓’ to confirm the zero calibration.
2. If a span calibration is to be performed, the span calibration gas should be applied to the sensor
immediately after the zeroing procedure. Do not allow the sensor to return to ambient air
conditions between steps 2 and 3.
3. Apply the span gas for two minutes before using ‘✓’ to confirm the span calibration.
39
Sensepoint XCD Technical Manual SPXCDHMANEN Issue 15
Care should be taken when removing and refitting the Sensepoint XCD plug-in Sensor.
Cartridge to the Sensor Socket so that damage to the connection pins can be avoided.
Before carrying out any work ensure local regulations and site procedures are followed. Appropriate
standards must be followed to maintain the overall certification of the sensor and transmitter.
To reduce the risk of ignition of hazardous atmosphere, de-classify the area or disconnect the equipment
from the supply circuit before opening the transmitter enclosure. Keep assembly tightly closed during
operation.
Never attempt to open a junction box/enclosure or replace/refit the sensor in potentially
hazardous atmospheres.
Take care when handling sensors as they may contain corrosive solutions.
Do not tamper with or in any way disassemble the sensor.
Do not expose to temperatures outside the recommended ranges.
Do not expose sensors under storage conditions to organic solvents or flammable liquids.
At the end of their working life, replacement electrochemical sensors for oxygen and toxic gas must be
disposed of in an environmentally safe manner. Disposal should be according to local waste management
requirements and environmental legislation.
Alternatively, old replaceable sensors may be securely packaged and returned to Honeywell Analytics clearly
marked for environmental disposal.
Electrochemical sensors should NOT be incinerated as this action may cause the cell to emit toxic fumes.
Honeywell Analytics recommends that gas detectors are tested and re-calibrated on a six-monthly basis,
or according to site practice. For remote Flammable or Toxic sensors used with the XCD Transmitter,
refer to the individual sensor manuals for specific recommended calibration periods. If a toxic sensor is
exposed to a gas concentration significantly above the measuring range, it shall be calibrated as soon
as possible afterwards.
40
Sensepoint XCD Technical Manual SPXCDHMANEN Issue 15
Operational Life
The pellistors fitted in the Flammable Catalytic sensors are poison resistant to maximize the
operational life of the sensor, however they can suffer from a loss of sensitivity when in the presence
of poisons or inhibitors, e.g. silicones, sulfides, chlorine, lead or halogenated hydrocarbons. A
typical operating life, subject to the presence of poisons/inhibitors is 36 months.
The NDIR (infrared) flammable gas sensor is not affected by the above-mentioned poisons and
therefore, has a longer life span. A typical operating life is 5 years.
The typical life of a toxic gas sensor is dependent on the application, frequency and amount of gas
exposure. Under normal conditions (3 monthly visual inspection and 6 monthly test/re- calibration), the
Sensepoint XCD Oxygen and other toxic sensors have an expected life equal to or greater than 24
months.
Refer to chapter 11.1 for sensor replacement procedures.
CAUTION
Oxygen deficient atmospheres (less than 6 % v/v) may result in inaccuracy of
reading and performance.

Use ‘SEL gAS’ to set the target gas for sensors capable of detecting multiple gases. The available gases
are as follows:
Gas selection is dependent on the type of sensor attached to the Sensepoint XCD. If Ir-1/Ir-3/Ir-4
sensor is attached, then gas type is detected by the Sensepoint XCD automatically (for example
CO2/mEt/ProP). When a type Cb-1 sensor is attached to the Sensepoint XCD, a user can select the gas
from Str1 (1*) to Str8 (8*). For more information on star rating, refer to chapter 18.2.
Note: For standard calibration (calibration gas = target gas) the following parameters are to be used:
Methane Star Rating 6* Gas Str 6 100 % LEL = 4.4 % v/v
Propane Star Rating 5* Gas Str 5 100 % LEL = 1.7 % v/v
The current configuration of the XCD is displayed and by using the ‘✓’ switch to enter ‘SEL gAS’ menu.
To select a flammable gas, use ‘’ to move through the list, then use ‘✓’ to make the selection or
abort function to discard the selection and return to menu mode.
If type of gas is changed, calibration prompt will appear to ask if you want to perform calibration.

17. Certification
ATEX/UKEX/IECEx Special Conditions for Safe Use
Sensor:
The integral supply cables shall be protected from impact and be suitably terminated.
The attachment thread has a 2.5 mm wide undercut. This shall be taken into consideration if the
sensor is attached to a flameproof enclosure in order to maintain the minimum engaged thread
length.
The sensor cartridge to housing joint maximum gap is 0.035mm which is less than that permitted. This
joint shall not be enlarged in service.
When fitted with the supplied weather guard, the sensor head must be mounted so that the sinter is
pointing downward to provide ingress protection IPX6.
The weather guard is a potential electrostatic charging hazard. The manufacturer's instructions should
be observed.
Transmitter:
The transmitter has a potential electrostatic charging hazard. To minimize the risk of electrostatic
discharge:
• Ground the transmitter adequately
• Install the transmitter in a manner that will prevent accidental electrostatic discharges, e.g. ensure
that objects do not rub against the housing etc.
• Clean the enclosure with a damp cloth when necessary

CAUTION
Where the user calibrates any sensor using a different gas, responsibility for identifying and
recording calibration rests with the user. Refer to the local regulations where appropriate.
Note: Table 10 lists a selection of hydrocarbon compounds and states a reference figure or ‘Star
Rating’ according to the reaction they produce in relation to other hydrocarbons. An eight-star (8*) gas
produces the highest output, while a one-star (1*) gas produces the lowest output.

If a sensor is to be used to detect a gas other than that for which it was calibrated and there is no
intention to use an equivalent calibration gas to re-calibrate the sensor, then the required correction
factor may be obtained from Table 12
The reading shown on the gas detector controller or transmitter display should be multiplied by this
number in order to obtain a more accurate gas concentration result.
0.64
76
Sensepoint XCD Technical Manual SPXCDHMANEN Issue 15
Working Example:
If the target gas to be detected is 0-100 % LEL Ethylene and the only calibration gas available to re-
calibrate the sensor is Methane (at 50 % LEL concentration), the procedure is as follows:
Look up the star rating for each gas in Table 10.
Then, look up the span settings for a 50 % LEL calibration gas in Table 11 by selecting the row of figures
next to the 6* in the ‘calibration gas’ column. Select the figure in the 5* column of the ‘gas to be detected’
chapter.
This means that during re-calibration, the span gas setting on the gas detector transmitter or controller
should be set to 62 % LEL to give an accurate measuring scale for 0-100 % LEL Ethylene, when using
50 % LEL Methane as the calibration gas.
Contact your local Honeywell Analytics sales or service distributor, or regional office if further clarification
or additional information be required.

It is possible to apply a linear cross reference factor to the output of a sensor characterized for propane
and achieve the results shown in the graph below.
Reasonable accuracy is maintained to at least the 50 % LEL equivalent values of the cross-referred
gasses.
Diagram 20 . Sensepoint XCD-IR (Propane) Sensor with linear cross-reference factor applied
CAUTION
These factors only apply to gas concentrations expressed in % Volume terms. When
using a linear cross-reference factor, the temperature compensation is based upon
propane, and there may be errors at temperatures away from the calibration
temperature.
Note: Honeywell Analytics recommends that users verify the accuracy of their instruments using test
gasses wherever possible. Cross-referred measurements should be used as a guide only, not as
absolute values.
