Figure 1-1: The XDP
System Overview In a binary gas mixture, the transmitter measures the concentration of
a target gas in a known background gas (see the transmitter
documentation for a discussion of the specific technology employed
by the sensor mechanism). To be suitable for use in an XDP system,
the transmitter must:
• be self-powered or powered by the +24 VDC output fro m the XDP
• output a 4-20 mA signal to the XDP analog input
• comply with all performance specifications for the system
• be suitable for use in the specified environment
The XDP accepts the 4-20 mA analog output from the transmitter and
processes the information. Then, the results are displayed on the
built-in digital display window . In addition, the data may be output as
a linear analog signal to drive a data recorder or similar device.

Choosing an Installation Site
All environmental and installation factors should have been discussed
with a GE Sensing applications engineer or field sales person at the
time the XDP was ordered. Thus, the equipment should be suited to
the application and the planned installation site. However, before
installing the unit, read these guidelines to verify that the best
installation site has been chosen for optimum instrument accuracy
and reliability.
• Make sure that the XDP and transmitter enclosures are suitable for
the environmental conditions at the installation site.
• Install the system in a location with little or no vibration.
• Mount the transmitter in accordance with the instructions provided
in its accompanying documentation.
• Make sure the ambient temperature at the XDP installation site is
–10° to 60°C (14° to 140°F).
• Use a suitable electrical conduit to interconnect the remote
transmitter and the XDP enclosure.
• Use a suitable sample system between the gas source and the
sample inlet of the transmitter.
• Observe all normal safety precautions. Specifically, do not exceed
the maximum pressure and temperature ratings of the transmitter
or the sample system.
• Install the XDP system in a location that provides ready access for
programming, testing, and servicing the unit.
• Protect all cables from excessive physical strain (bending, pulling,
twisting, etc.). Do not subject the cables to temperatures above
65°C (149°F) or below –50°C (–58°F).
• Be sure that the line voltage at the planned installation site is
within the specified power input rating for the XDP
(100-240 VAC; 50/60 Hz; 40 W max.).

Mounting the XDP System
Mounting the XDP Enclosure
This section explains how to mount the XDP system components and
the transmitter/sample system at the installation site.
IMPORTANT: The XDP requires an external power disconnect
device such as a switch or circuit breaker. The
disconnect device must be marked as such, clearly
visible, directly accessible, and located within 1.8 m
(6 ft) of the unit.
IMPORTANT: This symbol indicates Caution - risk of electric
shock:
Refer to Figure 2-2 on page 2-11, and complete the following steps to
mount the XDP enclosure:
1. Select a flat surface on a vertical wall or instrument panel with
sufficient space to hold the XDP enclosure.
2. Using the mounting dimensions shown in Figure 2-2 on page
2-11, locate and prepare four (4) mounting ho les or two (2)
horizontal mounting rails on the vertical surface.
Mounting the Remote Transmitter/Sample System
3. Secure the XDP enclosure to the mounting surface with four (4)
sets of mounting hardware. Be sure that the enclosure is in a
vertical position, with the display window upright.
Mount the remote transmitter in accordance with the instructions in
its accompanying documentation.
Note: Most GE Sensing transmitters may be located up to
2,800 ft (850 m) from the XDP enclosure.
To provide reliable and accurate results, the transmitter is often
installed in a suitable sample system. The sample system must deliver
a clean, representative gas sample to the inlet of the transmitter at the
proper temperature, pressure and flow rate.
Note: A suitable sample system may be ordered directly from GE
Sensing. The sample system would be supplied fully assembled
on a flat plate with four (4) mounting holes. See the sample

Introduction The XDP is an easily operated monitoring/control device. Make sure
that the system has been installed in accordance with the instructions
given in Chapter 2, Installation, before applying power. This chapter
includes discussions of the following topics:
• preventing common problems
• powering up the system
• programming the meter
• taking measurements
!WARNING!
To ensure safe operation of the XDP, it must be installed
and operated as described in this manual. In addition, be
sure to follow all applicable local safety codes and
regulations for installing electrical equipment.
Preventing Common Problems
The complexity of accurately measuring the target gas mixtures
dictates that some basic precautions be observed in using the XDP.
Failure to observe these simple procedures is often the cause of some
common problems. Compliance with the following points will help to
eliminate such problems:
• The transmitter must be properly connected to the XDP before
applying power to the system. Connecting or disconnecting the
transmitter while the XDP is powered up may generate a 24 Volt
Power Fault message. If this should occur, cycle the power to the
system OFF and then ON to clear the problem.
• The automatic calibration feature should be enabled and scheduled
to be run on a regular basis. The optimum calibration interval
depends on the application (consult the factory).
• Never use thread sealant on any connection in the sample gas flow
path. Thread sealant emits combustible vapors that can cause
reading errors.
• The infrared keypad may not function properly if direct sunlight
strikes the face of the XDP or if the XDP is installed in an area that
has other infrared devices in operation. To minimize such factors,
provide suitable shading at the installation site.
Cleaning the Enclosure If the glass window or the case of the XDP becomes soiled, use a soft
cloth dampened with water for cleaning. Never use solvents or
detergents to clean the XDP.
Operation 3-1
January 2008
Powering Up the System Check the wiring connections and close both the XDP and transmitter
enclosures before applying power. Energize the external disconnect
device to power up the XDP. Allow the transmitter to warm up for at
least thirty minutes, before taking measurements.
IMPORTANT: The XDP requires an external power disconnect
device such as a switch or circuit breaker. The
disconnect device must be marked as such, clearly
visible, directly accessible, and located within 1.8 m
(6 ft) of the unit.

The XDP is factory-configured to display O2 ppm/pcnt with a
resolution of 0.01 as the default. However, changing the gas label, the
gas units, and the display resolution are easily accomplished. See
Chapter 4, Setup, for programming instructions.
IMPORTANT: The XDP’s infrared keypad permits programming of
the instrument through the glass faceplate without
removing the cover. Thus, all programming
procedures may be performed while the unit is
installed in a hazardous area.
