Introduction
WARNING
To ensure your personal safety, read “Safety Information” before using the
detector.
The X5 gas detector (“the detector”) warns of hazardous gas at levels above userselectable alarm setpoints.
The detector is a personal safety device. It is your responsibility to respond properly
to the alarms.
Table 1 lists the gases monitored.

Safety Information - Read First
Use the detector only as specified in this manual, otherwise the protection provided
by the detector may be impaired.
International symbols used on the detector and in this manual are explained in
Table 2.
Read the Warnings and Cautions on the following pages before using the
detector.
NOTE
This instrument contains batteries. Do not mix with the solid waste stream.
Spent batteries should be disposed of by a qualified recycler or hazardous
materials handler.

CAUTIONS
For safety reasons, this equipment must be operated and serviced by qualified »
personnel only. Read and understand the user manual completely before
operating or servicing.
Do not use the detector if it is damaged. Before using the detector, inspect the
»
case. Look for cracks and/or missing parts.
If the detector is damaged or parts are missing, contact your local Distributor
»
or Honeywell Analytics immediately.
Use only sensor(s) that are specifically designed for the X5 PID/IR. Refer to
»
Replacement Parts and Accessories.
Calibrate the detector before first-time use and then on a regular schedule,
»
depending on use and sensor exposure to poisons and contaminants. HA
recommends at least once every 180 days (6 months).
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/59˚F to
77˚F), humidity and pressure. Follow local regulations and/or your companys
policy on the frequency of bump testing. For more information on test gas,
contact your local Honeywell Analytics Distributor.
HA recommends to “bump test” the sensors before each days use to confirm
»
their ability and response to gas by exposing the detector to a gas concentration
that exceeds the high alarm setpoints. Manually verify that the audible and
visual alarms are activated. Calibrate if the readings are not within the specified
limits.
It is recommended that the combustible sensor be checked with a known
»
concentration of calibration gas after any known exposure to contaminants/
poisons (sulfur compounds, silicon vapors, halogenated compounds, etc.).
The combustible sensor is factory calibrated to 50% LEL methane. If monitoring
»
a different combustible gas in the % LEL range, calibrate the sensor using the
appropriate gas. High off-scale % LEL or % v/v methane readings may indicate
an explosive concentration.
Only the combustible gas detection portion of this instrument has been assessed
»
for performance by CSA International.
Protect the combustible sensor from exposure to lead compounds, silicones,
»
and chlorinated hydrocarbons. Although certain organic vapors (such as leaded
gasoline and halogenated hydrocarbons) may temporarily inhibit sensor
performance, in most cases, the sensor will recover after calibration.
Any rapid up-scaling reading followed by a declining or erratic reading
»
can indicate a gas concentration beyond upper scale limit, which may be
hazardous.
Use only recommended AA alkaline or Lithium-Ion Polymer batteries that are
»
properly charged and installed in the detector case. Refer to Replacement Parts
and Accessories.
Charge Lithium-Ion Polymer batteries using the recommended charger only.
»
Do not use any other charger. Failure to adhere to this precaution can lead to
fire and/or explosion.
Protect the PID sensor from exposure to silicone vapors.
»
X5 Personal Gas Detector
11
Read and adhere to all instructions and precautions in the user manual provided »
with the charger. Failure to do so can result in fire, electric shock, personal
injury, and/or property damage.
Extended exposure of the X5 to certain concentrations of combustible gases and
»
air may stress a detector element that can seriously affect its performance. If
an alarm occurs due to high concentration of combustible gases recalibrate the
sensor, or if required, replace the sensor.
Do not test the combustible sensor response with a butane cigarette lighter;
»
doing so will damage the sensor.
Do not expose the detector to electrical shock or severe continuous mechanical
»
shock.
When calibrating O
»
3
and ClO2 sensors that are located in the Toxic 2 sensor
position, a single gas calibration cap must be used to ensure accurate calibration.
For more information, refer to
Single Gas Calibration Cap.
Do not immerse the detector in liquids.
»
Do not attempt to disassemble, adjust, or service the detector unless instructions »
for that procedure are provided in the manual and/or that part is listed as
a replacement part. Use only Honeywell Analytics Replacement Parts and
Accessories.
The detector warranty will be voided if customer, personnel, or third parties
»
damage the detector during repair attempts. Non-Honeywell Analytics repair/
service attempts void this warranty.

WARNING
Disabling an installed sensor configures the detector to a 1, 2, 3, or 4-gas
unit. Protection is no longer provided from the gas targeted by the disabled
sensor(s). Disabling a sensor should be performed with extreme caution.
If a sensor fails, disabling the sensor deactivates the fail alarm. The sensor should
be replaced and enabled as soon as possible. The detector will function normally
with the remaining enabled sensors.
After selecting the desired sensor, the following screen displays.
Press to toggle between enable/disable (sensor can be enabled at any time).
