!
Read and understand this manual before installing, operating, or
maintaining the transmitter. Pay particular attention to these warnings and
cautions. All of the warnings and cautions shown here are repeated in the
appropriate sections of the manual.
• Warnings identify hazardous or unsafe practices which could result in severe injury
or death.
Warnings
• Installation must be in accordance with the recognized standards of the
appropriate authority in the country concerned.
• Any work on the interior of the detector must be conducted only by Honeywelltrained personnel
• Before carrying out any work, ensure that local regulations and site procedures
are followed. Appropriate standards must be followed to maintain the overall
certification of the sensor.
• To reduce the risk of ignition in hazardous atmospheres, disconnect the equipment
from the supply circuit before opening the sensor enclosure. Keep the assembly
tightly closed during operation. Conduit runs must have a seal fitting connected
within 18 inches (45 cm) of the enclosure.
• Never open the XNX enclosure under power unless the area is known to be nonhazardous.
• Do not use the XNX Universal Transmitter in oxygen-enriched atmospheres. In
oxygen-enriched atmospheres, the electrical safety is not guaranteed.
• The sensor must be earthed/grounded for intrinsic safety, electrical safety and to
limit the effects of radio frequency interference. Earth/ground points are provided
inside and outside the unit. EMI note for applications using shielded cable: Cable
shield must provide 90% coverage of the wiring. Cable shield terminations must
be made at the cable glands with suitable EMI type glands. Avoid terminating
cable shields at the Earth ground lug inside the XNX enclosure. In cases where
wiring is in pipe, a shielded cable is not required. The external terminal is only a
supplemental bonding connection where local authorities permit or require such a
connection.
• Take care when handling EC sensor cells as they may contain corrosive solutions.
Do not tamper or in any way disassemble the sensor cells. Do not expose to
temperatures outside the recommended range. Do not expose the sensor to
organic solvents or flammable liquids.
• At the end of their working lives, sensors must be disposed of in an
environmentally safe manner, in accordance with local waste management
requirements and environmental legislation. Alternatively, sensors may be securely
packaged, clearly marked for environmental disposal, and returned to Honeywell
Analytics. Do NOT incinerate sensors as they may emit toxic fumes.
• High off-scale readings may indicate an explosive concentration of gas.
• Verify all outputs, including display, after installation, after service events, and
periodically to ensure the safety and integrity of the system.
• Do not use the transmitter in oxygen-enriched atmospheres. Concentrations
displayed will be adversely affected by oxygen depletion.
• After changing parameters with a handheld device, verify that the parameter
settings are correct at the transmitter.
• The factory-set passcodes must be reset to prevent unauthorized access to the
transmitter’s menus.
• When the transmitter is equipped with the optional Remote Mount Kit, the remote
sensor must be securely mounted in a fixed position. The Remote Sensor kit is not
intended to be used as a handheld sensor.

XNX Universal Transmitter
• Enclosures of remotely mounted sensors contain aluminum. When installed in
Zone 1 locations, be careful to avoid ignition hazards due to impact or friction.
• Install the junction box according to local codes and manufacturer’s requirements.
• The enclosures of remotely mounted 705HT sensors contain aluminum. When
installed in Zone 1 locations, be careful to avoid ignition hazards due to impact or
friction.
• Power off the transmitter before changing S3 or S4. Failure to do this will
permanently damage the transmitter. Both switches must be set in either Source
or Sink prior to applying power.
• Do not set the minimum or maximum controller alarm levels at less than 10% or
greater than 90% of the full scale range of the sensor. CSA and FM agency limits
are 60% LEL or 0.6mg/m3.
• When configuring or communicating with the transmitter using the front panel
displays, resume monitoring by exiting all menus and returning to the General
Status menu manually. No time outs are invoked.
• When selecting a new target gas for units with a Searchpoint Optima Plus, the
sensor must be recalibrated.
• XNX Universal Transmitters carrying UL/CSA/FM approvals that are configured for
devices measuring %LEL will not allow adjustments to the full scale value. The
range is fixed at 100%.
• There is a potential loss of sensitivity during exposure to high concentrations
of H2S. Under these conditions, set the control unit to latch at overrange. In
standalone configuration, set alarms to latching. When resetting the overrange or
alarm, verify correct operation of the transmitter.
• Keep the passwords in a secure area to prevent unauthorized access to the
transmitter. If the passwords are lost, resetting the transmitter will require a
service technician.
• When the transmitter is placed in Inhibit Mode, alarms are silenced. This will
prevent an actual gas event from being reported. Inhibit Mode must be limited
to testing and maintenance only. Exit Inhibit Mode after testing or maintenance
activities.
• Honeywell recommends periodic bump tests (every 30 days or in accordance
with customer site procedures) to the sensor to insure proper operation and
compliance with the functional safety rating of the installation.
• Honeywell Analytics recommends bump testing of ClO2, Cl2, HF, and HCl sensors
frequently and in accordance with customer site procedures to ensure proper
operation and compliance with the functional safety rating of the installation.
• As some test gases are hazardous, exhaust the flow housing outlet to a safe area.
• Exposure to desensitizing or contaminating substances or concentrations causing
operation of any alarm may affect sensor sensitivity. Following such events, verify
sensor performance by performing a functional gas test (bump test).
• When servicing or replacing sensors, reduce the risk of ignition in hazardous
atmospheres by declassifying the area or disconnecting the equipment from the
supply circuit before opening the sensor enclosure. Keep the assembly tightly
closed during operation.
• Take appropriate precautions when using toxic, flammable, or pressurized
cylinders.
• XNX transmitter is SIL2 approved and please refer to XNX transmitter safety
manual (1998-0808) for the detail of SIL certificate.
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE
To minimize the risk of electrostatic discharge:
• Ground the transmitter adequately
• Install the transmitter in a manner that will prevent accidental electrostatic
discharges, e.g. ensure that objects do not rub against the housing etc.
• Clean the enclosure with a damp cloth when necessary

• Use only certified cable glands for installation.
• Shielded armored cable is required for CE compliance.
• To reduce the risk of ignition in hazardous atmospheres, conduit runs must have a
pour gland installed within 18 inches (45 cm) of the enclosure.
• All ¾ inch NPT conduit, stopping plugs, and adapters must be installed with 5¼
threads (minimum) engaged to maintain the explosion-proof rating.
• The XNX cover assembly must be fully seated to the enclosure (7 threads
minimum) to maintain the explosion-proof rating.
• Use only the supplied stopping plugs (Honeywell part number 1226-0258) with the
XNX Universal Transmitter.
• For units fitted with the optional relay module: relay contact ratings are 250 VAC
5A, 24 VDC 5A resistive loads only.
• Use copper conductors only. Tighten terminal block screws to 4.5 lb/in (max).
• For XNX-UT**-***** transmitters, refer to XNX control drawing 1226E0402.
Special Conditions for Safe Use
• The following applies to the HART Barrier intrinsically safe circuits: For installations
in which both the Ci and Li of the intrinsically safe apparatus exceed 1% of the Co
and Lo parameters of the associated apparatus (excluding the cable), then 50% of
Co and Lo parameters are applicable and shall not be exceeded, i.e., the Ci of the
device plus the C of the cable must be less than or equal to 50% of the Co of the
associated apparatus, and the Li of the device plus the L of the cable must be less
than or equal to 50% of the Lo of the associated apparatus.
• For circuits connected to the EC barrier in which the capacitance and inductance
exceed 1% of the permitted values, the maximum permitted capacitance is limited
to 600 nF for group IIC and 1uF for group IIIC.
• The connection to the HART circuit shall be rated a minimum of IP 6X.
• Delays resulting from transmission errors between sensor and transmitter extend
response times T90 by more than one-third. The period until fault indication is 10
seconds.
• The HART interface is subject of this EC-type examination certificate only for the
purpose of configuration and maintenance. The options “Modbus interface” and
“FOUNDATION Fieldbus interface” are not subject of this EC-type examination
certificate.
• Long-term exposure (>20 minutes) to concentrations exceeding the full-scale
range of the H
value may then decrease even though high levels of toxic gas are still present. If
such conditions can occur, set the control unit to latch at overrange. In standalone
operation, set alarms to latching. When resetting the overrange or alarm, verify the
correct operation of the transmitter. Before re-calibrating the transmitter, verify the
absence of gas.
• The flameproof joints are not intended to be repaired.

The transmitter is a comprehensive gas detection system
designed to operate in hazardous locations
sensor technologies –catalytic bead, electrochemical (EC),
or infrared (IR)– to detect toxic gases, ammable gases, and
oxygen depletion gas hazards. Each technology has a dedicated
personality board.
Catalytic bead technology is used with the mV personality
board. Catalytic bead sensors respond to a wide variety of
combustibles so are typically used for ammable gas detection.
Electrochemical technology is used with the electrochemical
board. EC sensors measure toxic gases in low concentrations.
The EC sensors employ the patented Reex™ cell fault
diagnosis routine. Reex checks for cell presence, cell dry-out,
and cell open or short circuit. Reex is automatically initiated
by the transmitter at eight-hour intervals. It is also initiated on
power up or sensor exchange. In the event of a cell failing this
test, a sensor fault code is displayed. Reex diagnostics occur in
the rst minutes of the power up sequence.
Infrared technology is used with the IR board. IR sensors
optically absorb gases that fall into the infrared spectrum.
For additional information about any of these sensor types, refer
to the applicable data sheet for the supported sensor in Figure 1.
The transmitter also allows for an optional communication
board. There are three types of boards: relay, Modbus

There are three main types of gas hazards: ammable, toxic, and asphyxiant. A am-
mable gas hazard is one in which there is a risk of re and/or explosion (e.g., a situation
in which a gas such as methane, butane, or propane is present). A toxic gas hazard is
one in which there is a risk of poisoning (e.g., a gas such as carbon monoxide, hydrogen
sulde, or chlorine is present). An asphyxiant hazard would include a risk of suffocation
through oxygen deciency. (Oxygen can be consumed or displaced by another gas.)

Note: POD options are either relay, Modbus, or FOUNDATION Fieldbus.
Relays
The relay option (XNX-Relay) provides 3 form “C” (SPDT)
normally open/normally closed (NO/NC) contacts for alarm and
fault indication. A remote reset input (TB4) is provided to silence
alarms. Momentarily closing the the circuit between the pins of
TB4 performs the same function as the Reset Alarms & Faults
command.
The remote reset switch (designated TB-4 and labeled “Remote
Reset SW”) is located on the relay option board. It provides
a remote hardware-based reset of faults and alarms to the
transmitter. In the event that direct access to the local and
®
HART
transmitter may be reset remotely using a momentary switch.
This will momentarily close the circuit between the two pins of
TB4, providing the same functionality as a Reset Alarms & Faults
command performed from the main screen of thelocal user or the
HART interfaces.
Relays are not available when the Modbus
Fieldbus options are installed.
The transmitter has three relays: relay 1 is for alarm level 1, relay 2
is for alarm level 2, and relay 3 is for faults and special states. Two
alarm levels can be set, allowing, for example, a level 1 alarm for
the immediate area when a certain gas concentration is detected
and a plant-wide level 2 alarm when a greater gas concentration is
detected.

Sensor Mounting and Location
Warning: Installation must be in accordance with the recognized standards of the
appropriate authority in the country concerned.
Warning: Before carrying out any work, ensure that local regulations and site procedures
are followed. Appropriate standards must be followed to maintain the overall certification
of the sensor.
Caution: Locate transmitters and sensors in accordance with relevant local and national
legislation, standards, and codes of practice.
Caution: Do not locate the transmitter where it will be exposed to direct sunlight.
Caution: Replace a detector only with another of the same type.
Caution: Mount detectors where the gas is most likely to be present.
When determining the placement of sensors, follow the advice of
safety and engineering personnel and experts having specialist
knowledge of gas dispersion, the process plant system, and
the equipment involved. Record the agreement reached on the
location of sensors. Consider these factors when locating gas
sensors:
• possible damage caused by natural events such as rain or
ooding
• ease of access for functional testing and servicing
• how escaping gas may behave due to natural or forced air
currents.
Mounting the Transmitter
The transmitter can be mounted in a number of ways using
the integral mounting tabs. The transmitter can be attached
to at wall surfaces or to Unistrut®. With the optional pipe
mount kit, the unit can be mounted to pipe of diameter 2” to
6” (50 to 150mm). A ceiling mount bracket kit is also available.

WARNING
!
NOTE
Warning: Any work on the interior of the detector must be conducted only by Honeywelltrained personnel
Warning: To reduce the risk of ignition in hazardous atmospheres, disconnect the
equipment from the supply circuit before opening the sensor enclosure. Keep the
assembly tightly closed during operation. Conduit runs must have a seal fitting connected
within 18 inches (45 cm) of the enclosure.
Warning: Never open the XNX enclosure under power unless the area is known to be
non-hazardous.
Warning: When the transmitter is equipped with the optional Remote Mount Kit, the
remote sensor must be securely mounted in a fixed position. The Remote Sensor kit is not
intended to be used as a handheld sensor.
!
Note: Agency certifications require that EC and mV sensors face down. Optima
sensors must be mounted horizontally.
The transmitter is congured with ve cable/conduit ports built
into the housing for wiring and mounting sensors. Figure 23
provides the guidelines to proper installation of the transmitter.

The transmitter is available in sensor technologies, or personality
options, which support a variety of sensors and applications.
Each of the personalities use a dedicated interface board.
Pluggable terminal blocks are used for easy connection and
service. The personality boards and optional communication
interfaces are enclosed in plastic housings comprising the
electronics POD (Personality, Options, and Display). The
Personality circuit board determines the transmitter’s behavior
based on the type of sensor attached to the interface. See

loads only.
Isolation
Isolate the power and signal-carrying conductors.
General Wiring Considerations
For proper operation of the transmitter and sensor technologies,
consideration of wiring-induced voltage drops, transient
electrical noise, and dissimilar earth ground potentials is
imperative in the design and installation of the system.
Warning: The sensor must be earthed/grounded for intrinsic safety, electrical safety
and to limit the effects of radio frequency interference. Earth/ground points are provided
inside and outside the unit. EMI note for applications using shielded cable: Cable shield
must provide 90% coverage of the wiring. Cable shield terminations must be made at the
cable glands with suitable EMI type glands. Avoid terminating cable shields at the Earth
ground lug inside the XNX enclosure. In cases where wiring is in pipe, a shielded cable is
not required. The external terminal is only a supplemental bonding connection where local
authorities permit or require such a connection.
Loading
When wiring for DC power, 4-20mA signal, remote wiring to
sensors must be sized sufciently to provide adequate voltages
for the line length and the loads that will be used.
Circuit Protection
Supply circuits must provide over-current protection. Consider
inrush current in specifying any DC supply. Power supply range
is 16 to 32 VDC for EC and mV versions, 18 to 32 VDC for
Searchpoint Optima Plus and Searchline Excel, and 16 to 32
VDC depending on the limitations of the device for the generic
4-20mA input.
Distance Considerations for Installation
Adequately powering the transmitter is the factor that
determines an installation’s maximum distance. The 4-20 mA
output signal will easily handle the distance back to the control
equipment.
The primary factors determining distance are the minimum oper-
ating voltage of the transmitter and/or sensor; the maximum
current draw of the transmitter/sensor, the resistance of the
wire used, the power supply voltage, and the current capacity
of power supply. An additional consideration is the type of
installation; specically, how many transmitters/sensors are
drawing power from the same power supply and whether these
transmitters are using the same pair of wires (“daisy-chained”) or
have their own connections.
The use of high inrush or inductive loads may affect the

Types of Installations
There are three basic types of installation: a single transmitter;
multiple transmitters connected to a single power source; and
multiple transmitters connected in a “daisy-chain” conguration.
Single Transmitter
This is the simplest type of installation. It consists of a single
XNX transmitter installation per power source.
Figure 27. Single transmitter installation
Advantages:
Advantages:
• Maximum distance between power source and transmitters
• Fewer power sources.
Disadvantages:
• Larger power source will be needed
• If a power source fails, several monitoring points fail.
Multiple Transmitters Connected in a “Daisy-Chain”
Configuration
This conguration consists of two or more transmitters installed
in a line. The power connections are installed as an extension of
the previous transmitter, with the rst transmitter being the only
one actually wired to the power source.
• Maximum distance between power source and transmitter
• Smaller power source
• If a power source fails, only one monitoring point fails.
Disadvantage:
• Multiple transmitters require multiple power sources.
Multiple Transmitters Connected to a Single Power Source
This is two or more transmitters sharing a single power source
with each transmitter having its own dedicated wiring to the
power source.
Figure 28. Multiple transmitters powered by a single power supply
Installation and Operation
Power Supply
Figure 29. Daisy-chained transmitters from one power supply
Advantages:
• Less wire needed for installation
• Fewer power sources.
Disadvantages:
• Requires a larger power source
• Shorter distance between power source and transmitters.
• If a power source fails, several monitoring points fail.
34
XNX Universal Transmitter
NOTE
!
Note: CSA/FM certification does not cover daisy-chained XNX combustible gas transmitters.
Power Source Selection
For each type of installation, selection of power supply is
important. Power supplies are rated by voltage and power. The
nominal voltage for all XNX transmitters is 24V with the power
required depending on the number of points using the same
power supply.
As a general guideline, the power supply should be capable
of providing more power than is required by the installation. A
10 watt power supply is ne for a single XNX mV with catalytic
sensor (6.5 watts required, see the following table) but is
inadequate for a single XNX IR with Searchpoint Optima Plus (10
watts required).

To determine the wattage required, add the maximum power
requirements of all the points that will share the power supply.
For example, consider a system with two XNX mV transmitters
with catalytic sensors (6.5 watts each) and one XNX IR with
Searchpoint Optima Plus (10 watts). A 25 watt power supply
would probably handle this installation, but a 30 watt power
supply would be a better choice.
Wire Selection
The type of wire used for connections has an effect on the
distance of the installation. This is because some of the voltage
is dropped across the cable between the power supply and the
transmitter.
Thinner wire (i.e., 18 AWG) will lose more voltage than thicker
wire (i.e., 12 AWG). The amount of voltage lost depends on how
much current is being drawn through the wire; more current
means more loss. If too much voltage is ropped across in the
wiring, there may not be enough at the distant point to allow the
transmitter to operate.

Single Transmitter Distances
For installations that have dedicated wiring between the
transmitter and the power supply, use the following chart. These
distances assume stranded wire is used. If multiple transmitters
are using the same power supply, make sure the power
supply wattage rating is high enough to power all transmitters
simultaneously.

Ensure that wiring is adequately protected from mechanical
damage during installation. Shorted or open-circuit wiring to an
MPD **I** sensor may result in a full-scale concentration reading
before the transmitter’s internal diagnostics can identify the
external installation fault.
POD Connections
This illustration shows the connections available on of the
terminal blocks for each type of personality board.
Each of the personalities uses a single terminal block for
connection with the exception of the IR personality, which
features a second terminal block.
The personality boards also provide a dedicated pair of jumper
switches to dene output of the transmitter as isolated 4-20mA,
Sink 20mA, or Source 20mA as well as a service jumper to allow
power to the loop to continue when the transmitter is being
serviced. A separate connector is used to activate local HART
(see the Local HART Interface section).
Installation and Operation
Local HART provides an external access to control the
transmitter. An intrinsically safe (IS) barrier inside the
transmitter allows the user to attach an external handheld eld
communicator for programming and conguration. The external
interface is intrinsically safe. It is installed in the transmitter’s
lower left cable/conduit port.

controllers, which reduce the need for complete system
upgrades. In isolated-signal devices, if the controller fails or the
mA signal wires are disconnected or broken, the eld device will
remain operational. Most controllers in the market will accept
isolated congured devices.
Power and 4-20mA connections are made at TB-1 and are
identical for the EC, IR, and mV Personality Boards. For user
convenience, a second set of +Ve and -Ve power terminals have

Keep the total load resistance for the 4-20mA between 200 and
500Ω, including the resistance of the properly selected 4-20mA
cable and input impedance of the equipment to be connected.
Failure to perform ‘Calibrate mA Output’ or with loads outside
the recommended values may result in a diagnostic warning or
fault messages.
If the 20 mA output is not used, a 500 ohm resistor must be
installed.
The transmitter’s power consumption is dependent on the
sensor and options for the specic conguration. For proper
operation, the input voltage must be maintained between 16 and
32 VDC for EC and mV units and between 18 to 32 VDC for IR
units.

mV Personality Wiring
A transmitter with the mV personality board allows interface to
the Multi Purpose Detector (MPD), 705, and Sensepoint devices.
Caution: See Specifications to ensure that the transmitter and the mV sensor have the
appropriate approvals prior to commissioning.
Caution: Verify that the mV sensor being installed has compatible threads (3/4 NPT or
M25).
Read the Wiring the Transmitter section which denes the
power and 4-20mA output connections that are common to all
personalities.
Connections from the mV sensor to the transmitter are made
via a single pluggable terminal block. Honeywell Analytics
recommends that an 8” (20 cm) service length for wiring be
maintained. The wire colors for the connections for each sensor
type are shown in the table on this page.
Verify that wires for 4-20mA outputs are routed away from
sources of noise such as relay wires.
Note: The black and red wires from the MPD are not used with the mV personality
board. Ensure that they are properly isolated from live connections. Do not cut the
wires.
!
Caution: Dress the wires properly so that cabling does not contact switches 1 or 2
on the back of the POD. Do not force the POD into the enclosure. Doing so may result
in damage to the wiring or the POD. If resistance is felt, wires may be preventing the
POD from being properly positioned.

mV Remote Sensor Mounting
The sensor can be mounted remotely from the transmitter; the
installation will vary by installed location, sensor and thread type
used. To remotely mount the sensor, follow this procedure:
1. Install a junction box appropriately rated for the
environment. Allow sufcient room for the installation and
calibration of the sensor. (MPD sensors must be installed
with the sinter pointing down.)
2. Loosen the retainer locking screw on the transmitter with
the supplied hex key.
3. Unscrew the transmitter’s weatherproof cover and loosen
the retainer locking screw with the supplied hex key.
4. Run conduit or cable from one of the transmitter’s
available conduit ports to the location of the remote
terminal housing in accordance with local requirements.
A terminal housing provides a mounting base for the
sensor. The installation wiring enters the terminal housing
via conduit. UL and CSA require a conduit pour tting
within 18 in. (45 cm) of each enclosure.

IR Personality Wiring
The RS-485 digital communication is the primary interface in
which the transmitter reads gas concentration and sensor status
from the Optima Plus/Searchline Excel. If RS-485 communication
fails, the Optima Plus/Searchline Excel 4-20mA output becomes
the primary source to read gas concentration.
The transmitter allows local programming and conguration
through the local LCD display as well as through the HART
protocol. Gas concentrations can be viewed at the transmitter
from the Searchpoint Optima Plus or Searchline Excel via
4-20mA output as well as from the digital communication
connection on TB2 that can provide additional diagnostic
information. The gas concentration is taken from the digital
communication line as long as it is in agreement with the 4-20
mA output, otherwise the 4-20mA output takes precedence.
Caution: Dress the wires properly so that cabling does not contact switches 1-4 on
the back of the POD.

Searchpoint Optima Plus/Searchline Excel Wiring
When wiring the transmitter and the Searchpoint Optima
Plus or Searchline Excel for remote applications, the general
recommendations of the ANSI/TIA/EIA-485-A standard must be
adhered to with the following additions:
1. When mounting the Searchline Excel sensor or
Searchpoint Optima Plus detector, run the wiring between
each sensor or detector and the transmitter in separate,
dedicated conduits.
2. Use 18 AWG twisted shielded cable for the RS485
connection between sensor or detector and the
transmitter. Verify that the shield of the cable is grounded
to earth and the XNX ground on one end ONLY.
3. Avoid running wiring near main cables or other highvoltage equipment.
4. Do

sensors or Searchpoint Optima Plus detectors and the
transmitter be wired to building ground. Ground the
system at only one point.
6. Perform a soft reset after connecting the Searchpoint
Optima Plus detector and the transmitter for the rst time.
The soft reset is performed by accessing the transmitter’s
Calibration Menu. When the soft reset is initiated for
the Optima IR sensor, the RS-485 communication will
be interrupted temporarily and faults F120 and/or F161
may be observed. RS-485 communication will be reestablished in a few minutes and the faults will be reset
automatically in non-latching mode. The faults must be
reset manually in latching mode

Local HART Interface
Available with any sensor technology or option, this option
provides an external access to the HART interface in
the transmitter. An intrinsically safe (IS) barrier inside the
transmitter allows the user to attach an external handheld eld
communicator for programming and conguration. The external
interface is installed in the lower left cable/conduit port of the
transmitter and is intrinsically safe.
Figure 54. XNX Universal Transmitter with HART interface IS barrier installed
The HART protocol is a communication technology used
with smart process instrumentation, providing two-way
communication simultaneously with the 4-20mA analog signaling
used by traditional instrumentation equipment. For more detailed
information on HART, see the the HART Protocol section and
www.fieldcommgroup.org.
Implementation of the HART protocol in the transmitter:
HART devices can operate in point-to-point or multidrop
congurations.
Caution: Device address changes must be performed only by qualified service
personnel
Point-to-Point Mode
In point-to-point mode, the 4–20 mA signal is used to
communicate one process variable, while additional process
variables, conguration parameters, and other device data are
transferred via HART protocol, as shown in the illustration below.
The 4–20 mA analog signal is not affected by the HART signal.

NOTE
Cable Length
Most installations are well within the 10,000 ft. (3,000 m)
theoretical limit for HART communication. However, the electrical
characteristics of the cable (mostly capacitance) and the
combination of connected devices can affect the maximum
allowable cable length of a HART network. The table below
shows the effect of cable capacitance and the number of
network devices on cable length. The table is based on typical
installations of HART devices in non-IS environments, i.e., no
miscellaneous series impedance.
More information for determining the maximum cable length
for any HART network conguration can be found in the HART
The relay option (XNX-Relay) provides 3 form “C” SPCO contacts
for alarm and fault indication. A remote reset is provided to
silence alarms.
The remote reset switch (designated TB-4 and labeled “Remote
Reset SW”) is located on the relay option board. It provides
a remote hardware-based reset of faults and alarms to the
transmitter. In the event that direct access to the local user and
HART interfaces is not possible, alarms and faults from an XNX
transmitter can be reset remotely using a switch.
The transmitter can be reset by activating a momentary switch.
This will momentarily close the circuit between the two pins of
TB4, providing the same functionality as a Reset Alarms & Faults
command performed from the main screen of the local user or
the HART interfaces.
!
Note: This option is not available when the Modbus or FOUNDATION Fieldbus options
are installed.
Wiring for the relays is through an available cable/conduit port to a
pluggable terminal block. See Figure 33 for the terminal block
legend.
The transmitter has three relays: relay 1 is for alarm level 1, relay 2
is for alarm level 2, and relay 3 is for faults and special states. All
special states are indicated by the fault relay.
Honeywell Analytics recommends that the fault relay be used in all
installations to maintain safe operation. See Set Alarm Values for
more information.

The optional Modbus interface allows all transmitter local user
interface functions and parameter settings to be transmitted.
Modbus is a master-slave protocol. Only one master (at a time) is
connected to the bus. Modbus communication is always initiated
by the master. The slave nodes never transmit data without
receiving a request from the master node. The slave nodes never
communicate with each other. The master node initiates only one
Modbus transaction at a time.

Remote Calibration of MPD Sensors
In addition to functional gas testing to ensure the system is
operating properly, remote calibration of the MPD CB1 catalytic
combustible sensor and MPD IV1 and MPD IF1 infrared
combustible sensors can be performed provided the following
requirements are met:
• Remote sensor is installed in an indoor environment
• Internal air velocity does not exceed 0.5 m/s
• Weather housing part number 0200-A-1640 is installed on the
sensor housing
• A 1 LPM regulator is used for calibration gas delivery
Perform the remote calibration procedure in accordance with
The Product Specications section except using the weather
guard (Honeywell part number 0200-A-1640) instead of the
regular ow housing (Honeywell part number 1226A0411).
Honeywell Analytics recommends MPD sensor calibration at a
maximum interval of 180 days (the default value). This value can
be reprogrammed in accordance with site procedures to assure
the highest level of safety. Verify the correct operation of each
sensor before each use by calibration with a certied test gas of
known concentration.
The pellistors used in ammable gas sensors can suffer
from a loss of sensitivity when in the presence of poisons or
inhibitors, e.g., silicones, suldes, chlorine, lead, or halogenated
hydrocarbons.
