Important Notice
System configurations of the detector are available with 4, 3, 2, and 1 gas sensor(s)
installed in order to provide specific protection for most major industrial applications
and compliance requirements. Though this operating manual is provided for the
detector with 4 gas sensors installed, the information in the manual also applies to
other system configurations of the detector with 3, 2, and 1 gas sensor(s) installed
as well (See Section 8 System Configurations Options).
To ensure proper functioning of this product, do not use it until you read and
completely understand this operating manual. It contains operating and maintenance
procedures to ensure proper detector function. For your safety, it is required to
calibrate the detector periodically (See Section 4 Calibration).
Honeywell Analytics can take no responsibility for use of its equipment if it is not
used in accordance with the instructions stated in the relevant manual. If further
details are required but not provided in this manual, contact Honeywell Analytics
or their agent.
Honeywell Analytics shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages

(cont’d)
Perform a Self-Test prior to each day’s use (See Section 3-1 Performing a
•
Self-Test).
Periodically test the sensors’ response to gas by exposing the monitor to a target gas
•
concentration that exceeds the alarm set points. Verify proper operation of audible,
visual and vibrating alarms during this test.
Use only factory supplied calibration gas for calibration. Accurate calibration
•
can be achieved only if specific concentrations of the correct gases are
used.
Calibration should be carried out in a well-ventilated area to avoid
•
contaminants.
Calibration cannot be carried out when the detector emits a low battery
•
alarm.
Do not use the detector in oxygen-enriched atmospheres.
•
The flammable sensor’s sensitivity can be adversely affected by exposure
•
to certain substances called “poisons”. Sulfur compounds, phosphorus
containing compounds, halogens, silicone or lead containing compounds
are examples of such poisons. Every effor t should be made to avoid
exposure to these substances. When the detector is exposed to such
substances, a gas test should be performed on the flammable sensor
to verify its accuracy and a calibration performed if necessary.
Extended exposure of the detector to certain high concentrations of flammable
•
gases and air may stress the flammable detector element, which can
seriously affect its performance. If an alarm occurs due to high concentration
of flammable gases, recalibration should be performed, or if needed, the
sensor replaced.
Do not use solvents, soap, polishes or any product containing silicon
•
compounds to clean the detector as these can cause damage to the
sensors.
•
Do not expose the detector to electrical shock and/or severe mechanical
shock. When the detector is exposed to such shocks, a check should be
performed on the sensors to verify its accuracy and a calibration performed
if necessary.
•
Disabling one or more installed sensors configures the detector to a 1, 2,
or 3-gas unit. No protection is provided for the gas targeted by the disabled
sensor(s).
Do not install or remove the memory card in the detector or attempt to read,
•
download or write to the memory card using a memory card reader and/or
computer in potentially hazardous atmospheres.
Do not remove the batteries from the detector while the power is on. This can
•
cause fatal damage to the optional memory card if installed.
No gas will be detected while in the set-up mode or the gas exposure status
•
review mode.
The desktop USB memory card reader and data logging kit are not
•
certified intrinsically safe and must not be used in potentially hazardous
atmospheres.

to “no” or “YES” and press the ON/OFF
button to select.
or
When “no” is selected, the recorded STEL and TWA values will be used as initial
STEL and TWA values for the current session. When “YES” is selected, the STEL
and TWA values will be cleared.
2-1-3. CHECKING THE MEMORY CARD
The detector will check the memory card in the memory card slot. When a properly
formatted FAT16 memory card with a data full condition is detected, a “Data Fu” message
will be displayed followed by a “Delete no” prompt. (When a properly formatted FAT16
memory card is not full of data, the “Data Fu” message and the “Delete no” prompt will
not be displayed).
Press the UP or DOWN buttons to scroll to “no” or “YES” and press the ON/OFF
button to select.
or
X4 Series14
When “no” is selected, the detector keeps the current data file and the Data Logging
icon will not be displayed in the measuring mode which indicates that no data is
being logged. When “Yes” is selected, the detector deletes the current data file and
creates a new file for data logging. The Data Logging icon will be displayed in the
measuring mode which indicates that data is being logged.
The detector does not support either FAT32 or NTFS format for the memory card.
When a memory card with non-FAT16 format is detected, a “Card Er” message will
be displayed with a single beep. (When a properly formatted FAT16 memory card
is detected, a “Card Er” message will not be displayed.)
The Data Logging icon will not be displayed in the measuring
mode which indicates that no data is being logged.
2-1-4. Power-Up Self-Test
The detector will beep and perform a power-up Self-Test. If the detector passes
the Self-Test, the Test Pass icon is displayed. If the Test Fail icon is displayed
and the Test Pass icon blinks with 1 beep and 1 flash every 5 seconds, then the
detector has failed the Self-Test (See Section 3-1 Performing a Self-Test).
2-1-5. Checking the Calibration Due Date
The detector checks the calibration due date stored in the detector after the Power-Up
Self-Test. When the number of days remaining until calibration is due reaches zero,
a "CAL dUE dAY 0" message will be displayed to remind the user that a calibration
needs to be performed.
To perform the calibration, see Section 4 Calibration.
2-2. Turning the Detector Off
To turn off the detector, press and hold the ON/OFF button while in the measuring mode.
A countdown will be displayed for 5 seconds, and then the detector will beep and
turn off.

3-2. Measuring Mode
The detector may be used as either a “diffusion” or “sample-draw” type monitoring
device. In normal operation, the detector is worn on the belt or held by hand. Once
turned on, the detector monitors continuously. The atmosphere being measured
reaches the sensor by diffusion through the vents of the grille cover. Normal air
movements are enough to carry the sample to the sensors, which react to the
concentrations of the gases being measured. This type of “diffusion” operation
monitors only the atmosphere that immediately surrounds the detector. It is possible
to use the detector to sample locations that are remote from the detector by using
a flow adaptor and an optional hand aspirator. When using the flow adaptor, ensure
that the sample flow direction matches the arrow mark.
The gas types and concentration values for each sensor are displayed. If fewer than
four sensors are installed, the unused sensor position(s) will be blank.
Normal Display
X4 Series 17
3-2-1. Flipping the Display
The LCD display can be flipped upside down by pressing and holding the UP button
for 2 seconds. This allows easy reading when the detector is clipped to a waist belt
or chest pocket.
Flipped Display
3-3. Testing Sensors and Alarms (Bump Testing)
To maintain optimal accuracy, the detector should be periodically supplied with
a known concentration test gas (bump test) and if the readings are outside of
15% of the applied gas concentration, a span calibration should be performed,
under conditions of standard temperature (15°C to 25°C), humidity and pressure.
Follow local regulations and/or your company’s policy on the frequency of bump
testing. For more information on test gas, contact your local Honeywell Analytics
representative.
3-4. Gas Alarms
The detector has two levels of instantaneous gas alarms, of which the level 2
(flammable and toxic high, O2 deficiency) alarm is more urgent than the level 1
(flammable and toxic low, O2 excess) alarm for flammable and toxic. The O2 excess
and deficiency alarms are equally important. It also has a 15-minute STEL alarm
and an 8-hour TWA alarm for the carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide sensors.
Note
STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit) and TWA (Time-Weighted Average)
comply with relevant agency standards.
TWA is an 8-hour time-weighted average, so if the work shift exceeds 8 hours,
the readings will still be logged but averaged over the 8-hour period.
The user can set up the level 1 alarm point, level 2 alarm point, STEL alarm point,
TWA alarm point and alarm latch mode in the set-up mode. (See Section 5 Set-Up
Mode).

3-8. Data Logging
WARNING
Do not install or remove the memory card in the detector or attempt to read,
download or write to the memory card using a memory card reader and/or
computer in potentially hazardous atmospheres.
Do not remove the batteries from the detector while the power is on. This can
cause fatal damage to the optional memory card if installed.
Before you can begin data logging, you will need to purchase a memory card and a card
reader. You will also need PC software, which you can either download from our web site
(www.honeywellanalytics.com), or you can purchase it on CD. (See Section 7
Optional Accessories.)
WARNING
Use only approved memory cards, part # 2566-0435, which are available
from Honeywell Analytics. Use of any other manufacturer or type will
violate intrinsic safety requirements.
Do not use a memory card containing non-X4 data. The detector or card
reader will either erase non-X4 data or reformat the memory card.
Memory card readers can be purchased from Honeywell Analytics or from a
local source of your choice. Card Readers must be able to read both MMC
(MultiMediaCard) and SD (SecureDigital) cards.
When the detector is turned on, it will check the memory card in the memory card slot
if card is installed. When a properly formatted blank memory card is detected, the Data
Logging icon will be displayed in the measuring mode which indicates that data
is being logged.
X4 Series22
Note
The detector only supports FAT16 format for the memory card.
The detector will start data logging automatically and save
the gas readings at a user-configurable interval. The factory
default interval is 60 seconds. (See Section 5 Set-Up
Mode.)
Note
Should an alarm be activated while in the data logging mode, varied alarm
sound may be generated, as the detector periodically writes data to the
memory card.
W h e n t h e m e m o r y c a r d b e c o me s fu l l i n th e me a s u r i n g m o d e ,
the detector will stop data logging and the Data Logging icon will blink which
indicates that no data is being logged.
Note
The detector cannot format the memory card.
WARNING
The detector ignores the write-protect feature of the SD memory card.
When the Data Logging icon is either blinking or not displayed, it
indicates that no data is being logged.
To install or remove the memory card, see Section 6-2 Installing or Removing the
Memory Card.

B-1. Sensor Cross-Sensitivity
B-1-1. H2S and CO SureCell Cross-Sensitivity
The H2S and CO sensors are designed to be gas specific, minimizing the effects of
common cross-interfering gases. The table below summarizes the effect of various
gases on the carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide sensors.

B-1-3. Flammable Cross-Sensitivity
Note
The flammable sensor requires O2 to properly operate. Display
concentration will drop with low levels of O2.
There is variability in sensor cross-sensitivity between methane and other
•
flammable compounds. Therefore, if the detector is calibrated to methane,
the reading when other flammable gases are detected will be subject to
variation.
For more accurate detection of non-methane gases, the detector should be
•
calibrated to the targeted gas desired. In this instance, the reading obtained
when methane is detected may be subject to inaccuracy.
WARNING
The flammable sensor’s sensitivity can be adversely affected by exposure
to certain substances called “poisons”. Sulfur compounds, phosphorus
containing compounds, halogens, silicone or lead containing compounds are
example of such poisons. Every effort should be made to avoid exposure to
these substances. When the detector is exposed to such substances, a check
should be performed on the flammable sensor to verify its accuracy and a
calibration performed if necessary.
Extended exposure of the detector to certain high concentrations of
flammable gases stress the flammable detector element, which can seriously
affect its performance. If an alarm occurs due to high concentration of
flammable gases, recalibration should be performed, or if needed, the sensor
replaced.
Do not expose the detector to electrical shock and/or severe mechanical
shock. When the detector is exposed to such shocks, a check should be
performed on the sensors to verify accuracy (and a calibration performed if
necessary).

Factory default values of the Correction Factor are set to 5.00% Vol for
100% LEL methane for Minimax4 series and 4.40% Vol for 100% LEL
methane for ImpulseX4 series, assuming that the detector is calibrated
by methane with relevant concentrations suitable for each standard and
going to measure methane gas.
For measuring other gases listed in the table, the detector should be
calibrated with the target gas at relevant concentration and the proper
Correction Factor needs to be set depending on the standard to be used.

accessories/parts on the product;
3.
Any claim under the HA Product Warranty must be made within the warranty period and as soon as reasonably
possible after a defect is discovered.
4.
If a Warranty claim is being sought it is the responsibility of the buyer to return the product to the distributor or
HA authorized service center along with a full description of the fault. If no description of the fault is provided,
HA reserves the right to charge an investigation fee.
A warranty claim will only be accepted if a proof of purchase is submitted and all conditions contained within
5.
this Warranty are met. When, in the opinion of HA, a warranty claim is valid, HA will repair or replace the
defective product according to the terms herein. Where repair or replacement provides signicant upgrade,
enhancement or modication of the instrument, HA reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee in respect
of such.
6.
In the course of the investigation it may be determined that recalibration of the instrument is required. In
provided this takes place prior to the ‘Activate Before’
/ install by date. Pro rata after ‘Activate Before’ /
install by date.
Full warranty period as specied in Warranty Terms
above.

such cases, calibration charges may apply.
Please note that if, in the opinion of HA the warranty claim is not valid, HA reserves the right to charge for
7.
an investigation, any repair work carried out and for any attendance by its service engineer at the usual
rates in force at the time the claim was received.
In no event shall HA’s liability exceed the original purchase price paid by the buyer for the product.
8.
After the effective date, this warranty supersedes all existing warranty statements and HA makes no other
9.
warranty expressed or implied except as stated above.
C-2. Accuracy Statement
To achieve optimal accuracy, the detector should be periodically supplied with a
known concentration test gas, and if the readings are outside of 15% of the applied
gas concentration, a span calibration should be performed, under conditions of
standard temperature (15°C to 25°C), humidity and pressure.
