Basic Features (cont.)
Figure 1-1: The XDP
System OverviewIn 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.

IntroductionThe 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 EnclosureIf 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.
Operation3-1
January 2008
Powering Up the SystemCheck 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.

Setting Up the System
Fault Alarm
The system fault alarm is tripped whenever the 4-20 mA analog input
signal from the transmitter is outside the range that was programmed
in the previous section or the Zero Drift/Cal, Zero Drift/Total, Span
Drift/Cal, or Span Drift/Total exceeds the programmed limit. The
system fault alarm has two possible operating modes:
• Non-Fail-Safe: The alarm is wired to the normally-open (NO) and
common (C) contacts, and the alarm relay is de-energized until a
fault condition energizes the alarm relay to close these contacts and
trip the alarm.
• Fail-Safe: The alarm is wired to the normally-closed (NC) and
common (C) contacts, and the alarm relay is energized until a fault
condition de-energizes the alarm relay to allow these contacts to
close and trip the alarm.
To specify the system fault alarm type, navigate to the

IntroductionThe XDP has been designed to perform periodic automatic self-
calibrations, based on the current live ppm/pcnt measurement. To
ensure accurate readings, the automatic calibration (hereafter referred
to as AutoCal) should be scheduled and configured in a manner that
best suits your specific application. The optimum calibration interval
and configuration depends on the specific application and is best
determined by periodic calibration checks after the initial installation.
!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. In addition,
all procedures should be performed by trained service
personnel.
In order to complete the calibration procedure, the following items
are required:
• the chosen calibration gas(es)
• a sample system capable of providing the calibration gas(es) to the
transmitter at the correct flow rate and pressure.
IMPORTANT:Each gas cylinder must be certified as to the exact
composition of the gas. The accuracy of the
calibration is only as good as the accuracy of the
calibration gas(es) used.
Programming StepsTo program your XDP, use the following steps:
1. Access the User Program as described on page 3-4.
2. Use the menu maps in Figures C-1 and C-2 on pages C-1 and C-2
as guide in navigating to the desired menu option.

values.
Note: The instructions in this manual assume that the XDP has been
programmed to calibrate the zero point first (see page 6-6). If
your unit is configured to calibrate the span point first, the
option above will be shown as “Span/Zero Calibration” and
steps 5a and 5c on the next page will be reversed.

drift data is not updated and the verification alarm is not tripped.
This situation means that the AutoCal did not detect any
significant calibration drift, and the results are ignored.
• If the drift exceeded the preset Auto Verification limit but
remained below both the Max Drift/Cal and Max Drift/T otal limits,
the drift data is updated and the Auto Verification alarm is tripped.
This situation means that the AutoCal detected a significant but
acceptable amount of calibration drift, and the verification alarm
informs you that the drift data has been updated.
• If the drift exceeds either the Max Drift/Cal or the Max Drift/Total
limits, the system fault alarm is tripped and an error message is
displayed on the LCD. This situation means that the AutoCal
detected an unacceptable amount of calibration drift, and the fault
alarm informs you of the error condition.

IntroductionThe XDP is factory-configured to provide optimum performance in
the specified application. Because many of the critical settings
programmed into the meter during this procedure are essential for
reliable and accurate operation, the operator does not see these menu
items during routine programming of the XDP. However, in order to
address operational problems or to fine-tune the performance of the
system for a specific application, these factory-level programming
options are made available to authorized service personnel.
Caution!
Always consult GE Sensing before programming any of
these factory-level features. Improper setup may impair
the performance of the XDP system and/or prevent it
from meeting its design specifications.
Programming LevelsFactory-Level programming of the XDP is divided into two
categories, which require passwords that are different from each other
and from the operator-level password noted on page 3-4. All three of
the programming levels are summarized below:
• Operator-Level: password = 2719
• Setup-Level: password = Consult Factory
• Factory-Level: password = Consult Factory
Programming StepsTo program the factory-level XDP features, use the following steps:
1. Access the User Program as described on page 3-4, but enter the
password for one of the advanced programming le vels.
2. Use the menu map in Figure C-3 on page C-3 as guide in
navigating to the desired menu option.
3. Follow the instructions in the appropriate section of this chapter to
program the selected menu option.
4. Exit the User Program as described on page 3-5.
Note: While in the User Program, press
current operation and move back up one menu level.
Proceed to the appropriate section to perform any programming task
that is not included in the Operator-Level programming.

IntroductionGE Sensing has developed a Windows-based instrument interface
software called PanaView. This software is installed on a personal
computer (PC) and communicates with most GE Sensing instruments
via an RS-232 serial port link. The purpose of PanaView is to permit
remote access to and programming of the instrument.
Initial SetupBefore you can use P anaV iew with the XDP, the following setup steps
must be completed:
1. install PanaView on the PC
2. connect the XDP serial port to the PC serial port
3. power up the XDP
4. launch PanaView
5. use PanaView to establish communications with the XDP
A detailed User’s Manual is included with the PanaView software.
All of the above steps are thoroughly described in that manual
(document 910-211); that information is not reproduced here.
With the PanaView network tree fully expanded, your PanaView
screen should look similar to Figure B-1 below .
Figure B-1: XDP PanaView Screen
Remote ProgrammingThe remote programming functionality of the XDP via PanaView is
in development at this time. When full programming capability
becomes available, the appropriate instructions will be added to this
appendix.
PanaView ProgrammingB-1
January 2008
Viewing DataPanaView may be used to view the live measurement data being
collected by the XDP. This display is in addition to the standard LCD
screen on the face of the instrument. There are several advantages to
using PanaView to view your live data. Among these are:
• The data display (i.e. the PC) may be located in a safe area remote
from the XDP installation site.
• The data may be displayed in either text or graphical format.
• Both text and graphical displays may be viewed at the same time.
• Multiple parameters may be viewed simultaneously. For example,
the transmitter signal may be displayed in both mA and ppm/pcnt
values in separate windows at the same time.
For detailed instructions on setting up and customizing the text and
graphical data displays, see the PanaView User’s Manual (910-211).
As an example, Figure B-2 below shows the simultaneous text
displays of an oxygen signal input in both mA and ppm/pcnt values.

Note: The above information is just a brief overview of how to view
your live XDP data with PanaV iew. For complete instructions
on using all of the available features and capabilities, refer to
the PanaView User’s Manual (910-211).
PanaView ProgrammingB-3
January 2008
Logging DataIn addition to viewing your live XDP data, PanaView allows you to
accumulate the live data readings in the form of a data log file that is
stored on the hard drive of the PC. As with the live data, the log files
may be viewed on the PC screen in either text or graphical format.
After setting up the parameters for the logging procedure, the
progress of the log file may be monitored as the data is accumulated.
When the log file has been completed, it may be named and stored on
the PC. The resulting log file may be opened for viewing and/or
printing at any time. Figure B-4 below shows the contents of a typical
log file in progress.
Figure B-4: A Typical Log File in Progress
Note: The above information is just a brief overview of how to log
your live XDP data with PanaV iew. For complete instructions
on using all of the available features and capabilities, refer to
the PanaView User’s Manual (910-211).
IntroductionPrior to shipment, each XDP is programmed with values that are
suitable for many applications. Although these values are readily
reprogrammed to meet specific application requirements, the default
values usually allow for an easy initial startup of the instrument.
Default ValuesThe default values for an XDP using the standard software are listed
to which this declaration relates, are in conformity with the following standards:
• EN 61326:1998, Class A, Annex A, Continuous Unmonitored Operation
(For EN 61000-4-3, the above units meet performance Criteria A, and in a limited number of frequencies,
performance Criteria B per EN 61326.)
• EN 61010-1:1993 + A2:1995, Overvoltage Category II, Pollution Degree 2
following the provisions of the 89/336/EEC EMC Directive and the 73/23/EEC Low Voltage Directive.
The units listed above and any ancillary sample handling systems supplied with them do not bear CE marking for the
Pressure Equipment Directive, as they are supplied in accordance with Article 3, Section 3 (sound engineering
practices and codes of good workmanship) of the Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC for DN<25.
