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.

Table 1. 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.

X5 Personal Gas Detector

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

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

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.

NOTE

Honeywell Analytics recommends dedicating a regulator for use with Cl2

gas to avoid lower calibration readings due to cross-interference with

other gases.

Prior to performing the span calibration with Cl2 detectors it is recommended

that the user purge the regulator for 5 minutes (300 seconds) with Cl2 gas to ensure the regulator is properly conditioned. This should be done any

time a signiﬁcant amount of time has passed since the regulator was last

used (i.e. days).

X5 Personal Gas Detector

Diagnostics Protection

The detector tests the ambient air (auto zero) and the test gas that is applied (auto span) to ensure it meets expected values. Auto zero sets the zero-gas level of the sensor. If ambient gas is present, the zero level will be incorrect.

If excessive target gas is present, the detector displays an error message and lists the affected sensor.

In auto span, if the target gas is not detected or does not meet expected values, a message displays that the detector is exiting calibration mode. The detector retains the previous set values.

Applying Gas to the Sensors

The calibration cap, single gas calibration cap, and hose are shipped with the detector. Refer to Figure 3 and Table 10 for installation.
