2 Description

2.1 Display

The ULTIMA X5000 utilizes an Organic LED (OLED) display which is capable of being seen from a distance of up to 50 ft (15 m) depending on conditions. The OLED display provides clear and crisp information in a variety of languages. The gas reading gauge, which wraps around the live reading area, mimics the reading as a percent of full scale and is also used as a progress bar during operations which require a countdown.
Description
Fig. 1 OLED Display
In addition to the OLED display, the ULTIMA X5000 also employs green, yellow and red LEDs on the side and lower middle of its face. These are used to signal normal operating conditions, fault conditions and alarm conditions.
The ULTIMA X5000 will go into “Eco-Mode” after 3 minutes of no interaction and if not in an alarm condition. While in Eco-Mode, the main display will power down and the status LED's will remain illuminated to determine that the device is not in an alarm condition. The OLED display can be powered up by touching either of the two EZ touch buttons on the front display.

There are communication devices capable of being used in classified areas. Please contact your MSA representative for additional information.

2.4 Dual Sensing

The ULTIMA X5000 is capable of communicating with and displaying information for two sensors at a time. There are no restrictions to the type of sensors connected to the device.
The ULTIMA X5000 Gas Monitor generates two discrete analog outputs; one for each sensor connected to the transmitter. The analog output associated with Sensor 1 also has the digital HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) communication superimposed on the analog signal. If two sensors are connected, the digital HART communication carries information for both sensors.

2.5 Retrofit Installations

The ULTIMA X5000 has the conduit entries located in the exact same orientation and distance from the wall and the mounting holes for attaching to a wall are identical to the Ultima X.

2.6 XCell Sensors Optimized for Fixed Gas Applications

XCell toxic and combustible cat bead sensors are developed and manufactured by MSA. Now optimized for fixed gas applications, the XCell sensor platform is available in the ULTIMA X5000 and provides multiple benefits, including a standard 3-year warranty on all XCell sensors.
One important optimization for fixed gas was incorporating the GM catalytic bead into the XCell sensor. The XCell Oxygen sensor does not use lead, but rather a non-consuming reaction chemistry. The XCell Oxygen sensor is expected to last well over 3-years and can be safely stored on the shelf for at least 1 year without sensor performance degradation. Changes in barometric pressure across the range of 86 kPa - 108 kPa have a negligible effect on the operation of the sensor.
2.7 TruCal Sensing Technology for CO and H
Using patented pulse check technology and proprietary Adaptive Environmental Compensation (AEC) algorithms, all XCell sensors with TruCal verify operation by actively adjusting the sensor output for changes in sensitivity. Some XCell sensors with TruCal also include Diffusion Supervi­sion, which monitors the sensor inlet for obstructions that could prevent gas from reaching the sensor.
Every six hours, an electrical pulse stimulates the XCell sensor similar to having actual calibration gas applied, providing a snapshot of the sensor’s sensitivity at the time of the pulse. Using this sensitivity snapshot, the sensor can diagnose sensor failures like electrode poisoning, electrolyte leaking, or electrical connectivity issues. AEC uses the sensitivity snapshots provided by the pulse check to adjust sensor output, compen­sating for environmental impacts on sensor accuracy. If the AEC adjustment is greater than expected based on typical environmental impact variations, the transmitter LED’s will slowly flash GREEN, alerting users that the sensor should be calibrated to reset the AEC cycle. Users can also enable a Calibration Alert function that will send a milli-amp signal on the analog output to the control room. The result is a sensor that actively self-monitors for operation and accuracy, with far fewer manual calibrations. Diffusion supervision actively monitors the sensor inlet for obstructions. If an obstruction is detected, the sensor will go into a fault mode to alert users and the control room that it is not seeing gas due to an obstruction. Objects residing directly on or in the sensor inlet that result in a signif­icant impact to the gas path are very likely to be detected by Diffusion Supervision. Examples include paint, tape, water, and dirt. Small amounts of these materials can be visible on the inlet while not impacting the gas path enough to trigger a Diffusion Supervision Fault. A fault signal will only be sent out when the system determines that the amount of material that has accumulated on or inside the sensor inlet is negatively affecting the gas path.
Actual TruCal sensor performance will depend on the application, background gas exposure, and environment. To validate XCell sensors with TruCal, it is recommended that users follow their regular calibration cycle and record the “as found” and “as left” values. This data can be used to extend the time between calibrations depending on the required specification of the application.

3.4 Mounting

WARNING!
Refer to manual addendum (Part Number 10182779) for Certification Information before installa­tion.
Some toxic gases are provided in a fritless sensor housing. The fritless sensor housing is labeled as Div 2 or Zone 2 and is approved for Div 2 or Zone 2 installations only. The protection method is Nonincendive or Type n respectively. Ensure all components are approved for the wiring method being used and in accordance with the National Electrical Code of the country of use, any applicable local regulations, this manual and the addendum to the manual.
Failure to follow the above warnings can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.

3.4.1 Sensor Mounting Location

The best location for the transmitter and the sensor may not be the same location. Sensors should be placed in a location where a gas leak is most likely to be detected. When the best sensor place­ment would not allow the transmitter display to be easily viewed or accessed, a remote junction box can be used to mount the sensor remotely from the transmitter, allowing both to be installed in the optimum location.
Two main factors should be considered when choosing a sensor location. The first is the density of the target gas relative to the air. Gases, such as propane, that are heavier than air should be placed near ground level while gases that are lighter than air should be placed above potential leak sources.
Optimum sensor placement will depend on the surrounding processing equipment, such as pipes, valves, or turbines. MSA offers a gas and flame mapping service that systematically evaluates potential sources of leaks and recommends detector quantity and placement to create the most effective detection system.

3.4.2 Transmitter Mounting Location

The transmitter display should be mounted so that the screen is visible and easily accessed after installation. The electronics assembly inside the metal enclosure can be repositioned in any of the four self-aligning interior holes to ensure the display is properly oriented and to provide maximum flexibility for using conduit entries.
Installation
ULTIMA® X5000

3.4.3 Sensor Orientation

WARNING!
Mount the XIR PLUS with the sensor inlet fitting extended horizontally from the main enclosure (Fig. 10) to prevent the build-up of particulate or liquid matter on the monitor's optical surfaces.
Mount the digital sensor with the sensor inlet fitting (Fig. 11) pointed downward; otherwise, the inlet may become clogged with particulate matter or liquids.
Failure to follow the above warnings may result in serious personal injury or loss of life.
Sensor orientation will depend on the sensor type. If mounting an ULTIMA XIR PLUS sensor, whether locally on the transmitter or via remote junction box, the sensor should be mounted hori­zontally. If the ULTIMA XIR PLUS sensor is not mounted horizontally, the sensor will be prone to more frequent beam blocking issues due to accumulated dust and condensation on the surface of the ULTIMA XIR PLUS sensor. Fig. 10 shows the correct and incorrect mounting orientations for the ULTIMA XIR PLUS.
Installation
Fig. 10 Correct and Incorrect Mounting Orientations for ULTIMA XIR PLUS Sensor
All other sensors including electrochemical, combustible catalytic bead, and oxygen sensors should be mounted vertically, with the gas inlet pointed downward. If the sensor is not mounted with the gas inlet facing down, it is more likely to become clogged with particulate matter or liquids. Fig. 11 shows the correct and incorrect mounting orientation for digital sensors.

3.4.4 Connecting Sensor to Transmitter Housing or Remote Junction Box

Sensors are not shipped attached to the main enclosure or junction box. All sensor modules inter­face with the transmitter via a digital four-terminal connection. Up to two sensors can be connected to a single transmitter, with each sensor getting a dedicated analog (4-20 mA) output.
Consider the sensor dimensions when choosing a mounting location for the transmitter or junction box.
To connect the sensor:
(1) Turn the transmitter or junction box lid counterclockwise to remove
(2) Pull on the metal bail to remove the board stack and expose wiring connections.
(3) Route the cable from the sensor through a conduit entry hole in the enclosure so that the
sensor is oriented in the correct position (see section 3.4.3 for details).
(Repeat to attach a second sensor to the ULTIMA X5000 transmitter).
(4) Connect the sensor to the "Sensor 1" position on the electronics assembly.
a) If using a second sensor, connect it to the “Sensor 2” position.
NOTICE
If only using one sensor, and it is connected to “Sensor 2” position, the ULTIMA X5000 will enter Sensor Missing fault. See Disable Sensor in section 4.2.2 for details on how to clear this fault.

3.5 Installing a Remote Sensor Junction Box

Sensors mounted remotely must use the ULTIMA X5000 junction box. Only one sensor can be connected to each junction box. The junction box housing is the same construction as the ULTIMA X5000 transmitter. The mounting options and instructions for connecting the sensor are the same for sensors connected directly to the ULTIMA X5000 transmitter housing. The junction box is available in 316 Stainless Steel.
Sensors can be remoted up to 328 ft (100 m) from the transmitter housing, as long as the ULTIMA X5000 transmitter is mounted within maximum distance from the power supply, as indi­cated in tables in section 3.6.4. The junction box does not have an illuminated display and has two connectors: a single sensor input and an output connecting to the transmitter. A 16 AWG (1.31mm
2
) 4 element cable with a braided shield should be used for the electrical connection between the junction box and the ULTIMA X5000 transmitter. Specific cable recommendations are Alpha wire 3248 or equivalent.
The X5000 junction box must be used for remote XIR PLUS sensors. The use of third party junction boxes may void product warranty.

Route the tubing to the ULTIMA X5000 Gas Monitor, ensuring that there are no kinks, leaks or other obstructions. Secure this tubing near the monitor.

3.6 Electrical Power Connections

3.6.1 Electrical Warnings - Read before Connecting Power

WARNING!
Before wiring the ULTIMA X5000 transmitter, disconnect the power source supplying the trans-
mitter and ensure no hazardous atmosphere present; otherwise, electrical shock or ignition of a hazardous atmosphere could occur.
Install wiring in accordance with the electrical code of the country in use, the local authority
having jurisdiction and these installation instructions, as applicable.
Do not make any connections to the ULTIMA X5000 main board or junction box input, output,
and relay connections while under power. Making connections under power could lead to elec­trical shock or ignition of a hazardous atmosphere.
ULTIMA X5000 with relays are not approved for non-incendive wiring methods. Use of non-
incendive wiring methods could lead to ignition of a hazardous atmosphere.
Ensure that water and dirt are not able to enter the unit via the wire or conduit. If the unit is
installed in a location known to be wet or damp, it is good practice to loop or bend the entry into the unit that prevents water incursion.
The internal grounding terminal located in the base of the transmitter enclosure must be used
for equipment grounding. The external grounding terminal is only to be used as a supplemental bonding connection where local authorities permit or require such a connection.
As part of the product certification, it was verified that optional communication functions of this

Failure to follow the above warnings can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.

3.6.2 Retrofit Applications with UltimaX

The Ultima X5000 was designed to be easily retrofitted with existing UltimaX wiring. When replacing an existing UltimaX with the equivalent X5000 sensor technology, the following items need to be checked in order for the X5000 to operate:
1) Wire gauge needs to be 18-14 AWG
2) Sufficient power must be supplied to the X5000 in accordance with the maximum wire lengths.
(See tables 1-6) If these requirements are met, performance of the X5000 should meet the noise immunity stan­dard equivalent of the UltimaX using the existing wiring; However, the installation may not meet the latest EMC EN50270 noise immunity standard that the X5000 meets with the grounding and wiring scheme as indicated in I/O drawing SK3015-1051.
ULTIMA® X5000

3.6.3 Electrical Hardware Requirements

Braided shielded, twisted pair, instrument quality wire or cable should be used to minimize the possibility of noise interference and contact with other voltages. Selection of shielded cable must comply with local requirements.
Conduit, in addition to braided shielded wire, may also be needed in areas where large amounts of electrical noise is expected. All cable shields should be terminated to earth ground at one end only.
The ULTIMA X5000’s (RED) power connector terminals can accommodate up to 14 AWG (2.08 mm Incoming power and signal cables should be a braided shield cable such as Alpha Wire 3248 or equivalent. The braided shield must be terminated to the instrument housing with a 360 degree connection to earth ground as shown in Fig. 31 or alternatively, the earth ground at the user’s power source location.An external Class 2 power supply is required to supply 11-30 VDC to the ULTIMA X5000. Incoming power and signal cables should be a braided shield cable such as Alpha Wire 3248 or equivalent.

WARNING!
ULTIMA X5000 with relays is not approved for Division 2 or Zone 2 wiring methods. Use of Division 2 or Zone 2 wiring methods could lead to ignition of a hazardous atmosphere.
Failure to follow the above warning can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.
Relay Connections to Inductive Loads
If connecting the relays to motors, fluorescent lighting, or other inductive loads, it is necessary to suppress any sparks or inductive feedback that may occur at the relay contact. These effects may render the unit inoperative.
One way to reduce these effects is to install a Quencharc being switched.
Fault Relay Wiring and Configurations
The Fault relay state in non-fault operating condition is Energized and terminal connections are supplied for Normally Closed and Normally Open.
The energized fault relay setting provides an electrical path for fail-safe relay operation. In the event of any failure, including loss of power, the relay will change to the de-energized state to indicate a fault condition. The Fault relay state cannot be reconfigured.
Relay Energy State and Terminal Connections
The ULTIMA X5000 relays can be selected as energized or de-energized on the device. The default configuration is the De- Energized state. The preferred relay energy state should be deter­mined before making connections. Tab. 9 shows the terminal connections by energy state and is applicable to both relay 1 and relay 2.

Calibration Alert
Sensors with TruCal technology actively monitor sensor and adjust sensitivity without any manual intervention. When equipped with Diffusion Supervision, TruCal will also monitor the sensor inlet for obstructions while Diffusion Supervision is enabled. These sensors do not need to be cali­brated on a static maintenance cycle. When a manual calibration is recommended, the sensor will detect this and slow flash either the left green LED or right green LED indicating that calibration is recommended for sensor 1 or sensor 2 respectively. Users can also enable Calibration Alert so that an analog output signal is sent to the control room when a calibration is recommended. Whether or not the calibration alert is enabled, if gas is detected by the sensor, the ULTIMA X5000's analog output and display will follow the gas reading.
WARNING!
XCell Sensors with TruCal (CO & H
S) with Calibration Alert enabled provide an indication for

The Min/Max/Average values are only viewable through the X/S connect app or HART.
Swap Delay
Swap Delay allows the user a brief window to change an XCell sensor without the device going into a fault condition. Once a sensor is disconnected from the transmitter, the user will have 2 minutes to reconnect a sensor. During this time, the device analog output will go to its Mainte­nance level. If a sensor is reconnected or replaced during the 2 minute window, the new sensor’s countdown sequence will begin and the analog output will remain at the Maintenance level. After the sensor countdown is complete, the analog output will return to reporting a live gas reading. If a sensor is not reconnected after the 2 minute window, the ULTIMA X5000 will enter a “Sensor Missing” fault condition. All XCell Sensors have SafeSwap and do not need to be disconnected from power while changing sensors. For more details on how to change sensors, see section 6.2. Swap Delay is enabled on all ULTIMA X5000 transmitters by default.
NOTICE
The transition to maintenance mode during the 2 minute Swap Delay window and sensor count­down will not trigger the Fault Relay. The Fault Relay will only be triggered when the device enters a fault condition.

Alarm Actions
Relays can be triggered by an alarm threshold as gas readings increase or decrease. Most appli­cations require increasing alarm thresholds, except for Oxygen monitoring, which is most often a decreasing alarm. Relays can also be triggered such that the relays are latched in the alarm state until a user acknowledges the alarm by placing one finger over each of the EZ touch buttons and holding for 1 second before releasing. If the alarm relay is configured to be Non-Latching, the alarm relay output must be connected to an auxiliary device that performs the latching function. When the alarm relay state is chosen to be Non-Latching, the relay will reset once the alarm condition (gas value) returns to a value outside of the alarming condition. A user can also disable alarms in the Alarm Actions menu.
To change alarm actions:
(1) Scroll to Settings and select it.

Span Value
The span value is used to set the calibration point. The default span values are approximately half of the total range of the sensor as purchased (see Tab. 14). If the range is changed, the span value should also be changed to increase accuracy over the full scale range. Before changing the span value, the user should ensure that the appropriate concentration of cali­bration gas is available. The concentration of the calibration gas should match the span value, except if using propane to calibrate a combustible sensor to a different gas cross reference value.
To change the span value:
(1) Scroll to Settings and select it.
(2) Select Sensor.
(3) Scroll and select Span Value.
(4) Current Span Value is displayed.
(5) Enter desired span value.
(6) Scroll and select Save.
Default and range of available span values depends on the sensor type. See Tab. 14 for default and range of span values.

Sensor Range
All XCell sensors have adjustable sensor ranges. The sensor range cannot be set below the current alarm set points. The user may need to first lower alarm set points and/or span value in order to adjust sensor range to desired level. The user should also consider adjusting the span value to accommodate the changed sensor range so that the span is in the center of the range.
To change the sensor range:
(1) Scroll to Settings and select it.
(2) Select Sensor.
(3) Scroll and select Sensor Range.
(4) Current sensor range is displayed.
(5) Enter desired sensor range.
(6) Scroll and select Save.
Changing the sensor range will change the analog output values for alarm levels.
Gas Table
The ULTIMA XIR PLUS combustible sensor can be calibrated to a wide range of compounds, see section 9 for a list of gases, span values, and gas table values.
The XIR PLUS sensor is only performance approved for Methane and Propane.
Gas Table # Target Gas
1 Methane
2 Propane
3 Ethane
4 Butane
5 Pentane
6 Hexane
7 Cyclopentane
8 Ethylene
Note that the Gas Table numbers listed above represent different linearity curves for infrared absorbing gases. Typically, higher Gas Table numbers represent weaker absorbing gases. Each curve represents a linearity that is applicable to a group of hydrocarbon gases and not necessarily one specific gas. The Target Gas shown is representative of a group of gases with similar linearity.

WARNING!
The XIR PLUS sensor must be calibrated after changing the gas table and/or span value.
Failure to follow the above warning can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.

Operation
Reset Sensor
The sensor default values can be restored by resetting the sensor. If Swap Delay is enabled, during a sensor reset the analog outputs will behave the same as if a sensor were replaced. See the section on Swap Delay for details. If Swap Delay is disabled the analog outputs will first go into a fault condition, followed by the maintenance condition for the duration of the sensor’s count­down.
NOTICE
The sensor goes into a Sensor Configuration Reset fault and must be calibrated after a sensor reset. There will be four dashes displayed where the current reading should be. All settings, including Alarm Set Point and Calibration Values, will be returned to factory defaults.
To Reset Sensor to factory default:
(1) Scroll to Settings and select it.
(2) Select Sensor.
(3) Scroll and select Reset Sensor.
(4) Select Continue.
Note: Sensor Reset can take 10 seconds to initiate the sensor’s countdown.
(5) Calibrate the sensor to clear Sensor Configuration Reset fault.
Disable Sensor
When removing a sensor from the transmitter while under power, the ULTIMA X5000 will enter a Sensor Missing fault condition after the two minute Swap Delay period has expired (if enabled). If Swap Delay is disabled, the transmitter will go into Sensor Missing fault immediately after removing the sensor from the transmitter. If the system is off at the time a sensor is removed, the transmitter will go into fault after its startup sequence. This fault condition can be removed by disabling the affected sensor position.
Disabling a sensor removes the fault and stops communications with the sensor, the sensor’s reading on the display is removed, and the mA channel for that sensor position is set to 0 mA. By default, the ULTIMA X5000 has the Sensor 2 position disabled. If at any time a sensor is connected to a position that is disabled, the ULTIMA X5000 will automatically enable that sensor position.
To disable the sensor after removal:
(1) Scroll to Settings and select it.
(2) Select Sensor.
(3) Scroll and select the sensor you want to disable (Sensor #1 or Sensor #2).
(4) Scroll and select Disable Sensor.
Only one sensor can be disabled at a time. The transmitter will not allow both sensor positions to be disabled simultaneously.
The ULTIMA X5000 only allows a sensor to be disabled after the transmitter has gone into Sensor Missing fault.

Operation
Diffusion Supervision
Diffusion supervision actively monitors the sensor inlet for obstructions. If an obstruction is detected, the sensor will go into a fault mode to alert users and the control room that it is not seeing gas due to an obstruction. Objects residing directly on or in the sensor inlet that result in a signif­icant impact to the gas path are very likely to be detected by Diffusion Supervision. Examples include paint, tape, water, and dirt. Small amounts of these materials can be visible on the inlet while not impacting the gas path enough to trigger a Diffusion Supervision Fault. A fault signal will only be sent out when the system determines that the amount of material that has accumulated on or inside the sensor inlet is negatively affecting the gas path.
Even if a Diffusion Supervision Fault has not been triggered, it is good practice to clear any foreign material from the sensor inlet if any is observed while inspecting the sensor.
To enable or disable Diffusion Supervision:
(1) Scroll to Settings and select it.
(2) Select Sensor.
(3) Scroll and select Diffusion Supervision.
(4) Scroll and select Enable or Disable.
(5) Scroll and select Save.

4.3.1 Life and Health - XCell H
The Life and Health information reports the general health of the sensor. XCell sensors with TruCal (Hydrogen Sulfide and Carbon Monoxide) calculate current sensor sensitivity using auto­mated pulse checks. The pulse stimulates the sensor with a response similar to having actual cali­bration gas applied. The stimulated response is compared to the last calibration and will make adjustments to sensitivity to match the last calibration. When the required adjustment is greater than the accuracy of the algorithm’s adjustment, the sensor will call for a calibration.
All Digital Sensors, including catalytic bead and oxygen, will show life health status as 'Good' or 'Fair' with the following calculation:
Good condition occurs when the current calibrated span sensitivity is greater than 50% of the way between the initial calibration sensitivity and the end-of-life span sensitivity. Fair condition occurs when the current calibrated span sensitivity is less than 50% of the way from the initial calibration sensitivity and the end of life span sensitivity.
NOTICE
Using expired calibration gas or the incorrect calibration gas can result in a premature "Fair" status.

5Calibration

Calibration is the process of applying a known quantity of gas to the transmitter so that the trans­mitter can adjust the precision and accuracy of the measurements made in normal operating mode. This process ensures that gas measurements are as accurate as possible.
Calibration Warnings - Read before Calibrating
Although ULTIMA X5000 sensors are factory calibrated, another calibration is recommended once the unit is installed in its final environmental destination.
WARNING!
Use zero gas when zeroing the ULTIMA X5000 transmitter if there is any possibility of background gas. Otherwise, improper calibration could occur.
For optimal sensor performance, allow sensor to acclimate to application conditions for 24 hours before performing an initial calibration.
Perform calibrations 24 hours after initial start up and at a frequency identified in section 5.2 "Cali­bration Frequency" and 5.3.1 "XCell Sensors with TruCal and Diffusion Supervision (H only)". XCell Sensors with TruCal (CO & H “Calibration Recommended” and “Calibration Required”. When either indication is provided by the device, calibrate the sensor.
Failure to follow the above warnings can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.

5.1 Calibration Equipment

A gas cylinder with a known concentration of gas appropriate for the range of measurement is needed. Sensors come with preset span gas values appropriate for the measurement range. See Tab. 14 for Default Span Values by Sensor Type. Calibration kits are available from MSA for cali­bration of the ULTIMA X5000. The kits come housed in a convenient carrying case and contain all items necessary for a complete and accurate calibration, including a regulator, tubing, and Cali­bration Caps. See Tab. 16 to select the appropriate kit for the sensor type. The calibration kit can also be ordered without a gas cylinder.

5.2 Calibration Frequency

The frequency of calibration gas testing depends on the operating time, chemical exposure, and type of sensor. Especially in new installations or applications, it is recommended that the first sensors be calibrated more often to establish the sensor performance in this particular environ­ment.
For this, you typically record the "as found" and "as left" gas values and track the percent adjust­ment over time. Then, gradually extend calibration intervals until the percent adjustment is greater than the expected accuracy of the sensor.
5.3 Calibration Frequency for XCell Sensors with TruCal (H
S & CO only)
2
WARNING!
Certain conditions may prevent the performance of Diffusion Supervision and/or TruCal testing. If such a condition persists for 90 days, the XCell sensor with TruCal will recommend a calibration which is communicated through the transmitter display and LEDs. When Calibration Alert is enabled, the milliamp signal output will also be driven to calibration alert output. Perform a cali­bration when the device recommends it.
Failure to follow the above warning can result in serious personal injury or death.
Calibration
5.3.1 XCell Sensors with TruCal and Diffusion Supervision (H
S & CO only)
2
Sensors with TruCal technology will adjust sensitivity without any manual intervention or calibra­tion, unless called for by the sensor. If the adjusted sensitivity from TruCal deviates too far from the last gas calibration sensitivity, the sensor will recommend or, in extreme cases, require a cali­bration. When a calibration is recommended, the transmitter LED status indicators slowly pulse green. Users can also enable a Calibration Alert function that will send a milli-amp signal on the analog output to the control room when a calibration is recommended. When a calibration is required, the status LEDs will flash yellow and the transmitter will go into a Calibration Required Fault. With Diffusion Supervision enabled, the sensors also actively monitor the sensor inlet for obstructions and initiates a fault if the gas diffusion path becomes obstructed.
With Diffusion Supervision and Calibration Alert enabled, the time between scheduled cali­brations can be extended to 24 Months.
If calibration alert and/or Diffusion Supervision are disabled, follow the calibration frequency recommendations set forth in section 5.3.2.
5.3.2 XCell Sensors with TruCal without Diffusion Supervision (H
S & CO only)
2
Sensors with TruCal technology will adjust sensitivity without any manual intervention or calibra­tion, unless called for by the sensor. If the adjusted sensitivity from TruCal deviates too far from the last gas calibration sensitivity, the sensor will recommend or, in extreme cases, require a cali­bration. When a calibration is recommended, the transmitter LED status indicators slowly pulse green. Users can also enable a Calibration Alert function that will send a milli-amp signal on the analog output to the control room when a calibration is recommended. When a calibration is required, the status LEDs will flash yellow and the transmitter will go into a Calibration Required Fault. Without Diffusion Supervision, regular calibration of the sensor must still be conducted to confirm the sensor inlet is not obstructed.
Actual TruCal sensor performance will depend on the application, background gas exposure, and environment. To validate XCell sensors with TruCal, it is recommended that users follow their regular calibration cycle and record the “as found” and “as left” values, tracking the percent adjust­ment over time. Once a baseline is established, the calibration intervals can be extended until the percent adjustment is greater than the expected accuracy of the sensor.

5.4 Calibration Types: Zero vs. Span

The ULTIMA X5000has two types of calibration: Zero and Span calibration. Zero Calibration resets the baseline level reading to zero. If the target gas is suspected to be occa-
sionally present, it is best to also use a zero gas cylinder during the zero calibration. If the target gas is not present in the atmosphere, an additional calibration cylinder is not required.
The "Calibrate" option involves first applying a zero gas followed by the span gas. The span gas is a known concentration of gas which adjusts the accuracy and precision of the transmitter to the known value; this is referred to as the “Span Value. See Fig. 42.
Calibration
Fig. 42 Calibration Curve
The Sensor Span Value in the device menu should be the same as the concentration listed on the calibration gas cylinder; unless an LEL simulant gas is being used.
The XIR Plus sensor can be calibrated to a wide variety of gas compounds using either 0.1 % Propane, 0.6 % Propane, or 2.5 % Methane and MSA's gas table. See Tab. 23 for a complete list of gas compounds and corresponding tables and span values.

5.5 How to Zero Calibrate XCell Sensors

NOTICE
If a password is enabled, you will not be able to proceed with the calibration without the password.
To abort, press either button on the touchscreen or mobile application at any time during the zero calibration.
In the event that a calibration cannot be completed, the user can acknowledge the FAIL by placing one finger over each of the EZ touch buttons and holding for 1 second before releasing. The unit will revert to the settings of the last successful calibration.
WARNING!
The regulator used with the zero gas cylinder should not be the same as the regulator used for the span gas. The span gas regulator can be contaminated with the target gas over time, and thus raise the detection baseline and make the sensor less sensitive to the target gas.
Failure to follow the above warning can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.
US
ULTIMA® X5000
64
Calibration
If there is no target gas in the atmosphere around the sensor, using a zero gas cylinder is optional.
To Zero calibrate the sensor,
(1) Attach the Sensor Guard to the bottom of the sensor.
(2) Place the green Calibration Cap over the Sensor Guard inlet so that it is flush with the bottom
of the Sensor Guard and completely covers the Sensor Guard inlet.
(3) Attach the tubing to the plastic stem protruding through the green Calibration Cap.
(4) Screw the regulator onto the top of the zero gas cylinder.
If a password is enabled, you will need to enter it here.
NOTICE
If the calibration cap cannot be used (such as for a remote sensor application), ambient wind conditions must be minimized during calibration to avoid a calibration with increased sensitivity.
(5) Scroll and select Calibration.
(6) Scroll and select Zero Calibration.
(7) Once the screen displays Zero Soaking, turn on zero gas flow by turning knob on the regu-
lator.
(8) Wait while the device displays the countdown of the Zero Calibration.
(9) Once the zero calibration is complete, a Zero PASS or FAIL is displayed.
If PASS displays, the procedure is complete. User may record the as found and as left values as an indication of the amount of sensor correction performed during the calibration.
If FAIL displays, the procedure was unsuccessful.
(10) Remove the zero calibration equipment from the device, including the Sensor Guard and
Calibration Cap.
Sensors with TruCal and have Diffusion Supervision enabled can go into Diffusion Supervision Fault if the green Calibration Cap is left on after completing a zero calibra­tion.
WARNING!
The green Calibration Cap must be removed from the sensor after a zero calibration. Failure to do so could restrict gas flow to the sensor and result in erroneously low readings.
Failure to follow the above warning can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.

WARNING!
The green Calibration Cap must be removed from the sensor after calibration. Failure to do so could restrict gas flow to the sensor and result in erroneously low readings.
Failure to follow the above warning can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.

5.7 How to Calibrate an Oxygen XCell Sensor

An oxygen span gas cylinder is not needed if the sensor is in an area that maintains ambient air conditions. Follow the same process for XCell sensors as described in section 5.6. When the display prompts "Apply Span Gas", simply allow the countdown to occur without applying gas.
If the sensor is located in an area of normally low or enriched oxygen, then a 20.8% oxygen sample must be applied.

5.8 How to Calibrate an XIR PLUS Sensor

A full span calibration is not required for the XIR PLUS sensors. Any degradation of the sensor's performance is associated with slight drifts in its zero response. Restoring the sensor's zero is typically sufficient. The XIR PLUS Sensor Guard comes attached to the XIR PLUS sensor. The XIR PLUS Calibration Cap is placed over the Sensor Guard so that it is completely covered. Line up the cap so that the Sensor Guard stem protrudes through the Calibration Cap. Zero or calibration gas tubing is then attached to the Sensor Guard via the stem.
Calibration
WARNING!
The green Calibration Cap must be removed from the XIR PLUS after calibration. Failure to do so could restrict gas flow to the sensor and result in erroneously low readings.
Failure to follow the above warning can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.
NOTICE
If the calibration cap cannot be used (such as for a remote sensor application), ambient wind conditions must be minimized during calibration to avoid a calibration with increased sensitivity.
The XIR PLUS sensor can be calibrated to a variety of other target gases. Calibrating to a different calibration gas will align the sensor's accuracy to that gas. Refer to section 9 "Appendix: Calibra­tion Guide for Additional Gases" for calibration settings. Note that the XIR PLUS sensor is a general hydrocarbon sensor, and calibrating to another gas will not prevent it from seeing other hydrocarbons in the atmosphere.

5.9 XCell Catalytic Bead LOC Over Range

Catalytic bead sensors require the presence of oxygen in order to sense combustible gas. In the event of very large combustible gas leaks that exceed 100 % LEL, enough oxygen can be displaced so that the sensor's response to gas is no longer proportional to the calibration profile. The XCell catalytic bead has a locking fail safe mechanism that prevents the false reporting of a safe condition while the % LEL concentration is still above 100 % LEL. When the gas concentra­tion exceeds 100 % LEL, the sensor will go into LOC over range. To clear the LOC over rage, the user needs to acknowledge and calibrate the sensor. To acknowl­edge LOC over range, place one finger over each of the EZ touch buttons and hold for 1 second before releasing. This will allow a recalibration of the sensor to clear the LOC condition.
US
WARNING!
Ensure that the area has been cleared of gas before acknowledging the LOC Over Range and recalibrating the sensor.
Failure to follow the above warning can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.

5.10 Calibration Confirmation and As Found/As Left Values

The ULTIMA X5000 Gas Monitor records the date of the last successful calibration as well as the As Found/As Left values. This date can then be displayed on the OLED display under the Status Menu.

6 Maintenance

WARNING!
Use only genuine MSA replacement parts when performing any maintenance procedures provided in this manual. Failure to do so may seriously impair sensor and gas monitoring perfor­mance, alter flameproof/explosionproof characteristics or void agency approvals. Failure to follow this warning could cause the product to fail to perform as designed and persons who rely on this product for their safety could sustain serious personal injury or loss of life.
Repair or alteration of the ULTIMA X5000 Gas Monitor, beyond the scope of the maintenance procedures provided in this manual or by anyone other than authorized MSA service personnel, could cause the product to fail to perform as designed and persons who rely on this product for their safety could sustain serious personal injury or loss of life.
The ULTIMA X5000 Gas Monitor is constantly performing a self-check. When a problem is found, it displays the appropriate error message. When a critical error is detected within the device, the 4-20 mA output signal goes to a fault condition.

6.1 ULTIMA XIR PLUS Cleaning Procedure

The presence of particulate matter, oil films, liquid water, or the residue from water drops on the two monitor windows can adversely affect its performance. The XIR PLUS Sensor Guard is designed to prevent foreign solids or liquids from reaching the monitor's optical system. Addition­ally, heating elements are incorporated into the device to prevent water condensation. Under severe conditions, however, some material may collect on these surfaces and it may be neces­sary to occasionally check and clean the windows.
While both windows are made of a highly durable material that is not easily scratched, avoid excessive pressure when cleaning them. Clean, cotton-tipped applicators are the most convenient tool to remove material collected on the windows.
Maintenance
Use a dry applicator or one moistened with distilled water to wipe the window and remove dust.
Use an additional clean, dry applicator to remove any residual water.
Use an applicator moistened with isopropyl alcohol to remove heavy deposits of solids, liquids
or oil films. Clean the window again with a second applicator moistened with distilled water; then, dry the window with a final applicator.
Avoid using excessive amounts of water or alcohol in the cleaning procedure, and inspect the
window to ensure that the entire surface is clean.
The device will go into a “Low Signal” fault during cleaning with an analog output to 2.0 mA. To clean the XIR PLUS sensor:
(1) Remove the Sensor Guard.
(2) Place an opaque object (piece of paper, cardboard, etc.) between the light source window
and the mirror to completely obscure the light path for two to three seconds.
The ULTIMA X5000 analog output is in a fault condition while sensor is partially blocked.
The display will indicate “Low Signal'’.
While in “Low Signal” fault, the sensor will not respond to the presence of gas.
(3) When cleaning is done and the objects are removed from the sensor window, the device
returns to normal operation. If water or isopropyl alcohol was used, allow the device to operate for 15 minutes to completely dry before replacing the Sensor Guard and continuing to monitor for combustible gas.
US
(4) Replace the Sensor Guard or flow cap.
ULTIMA® X5000
68
When the cleaning process is complete, be sure to remove all objects from the light path. It is recommended to check the sensor’s response to zero and calibration gas after cleaning.
Using other cleaning solutions or not thoroughly removing the isopropyl alcohol with a damp cloth may result in a gas reading from the hydrocarbon bonds of the solvent.
WARNING!
Do not place foreign objects in the sensor's analytical region (except for the “ULTIMA XIR PLUS Cleaning Procedure” as described above); otherwise, the infrared beam can be partially blocked, causing the sensor to generate false readings. All objects must be removed from the sensor's analytical region for it to function properly.
Failure to follow the above warning can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.

6.2 Replacing an XCell Sensor

The only routine maintenance item is the sensor, which has a limited lifetime. The ULTIMA X5000 sensors with TruCal technology will indicate when the sensor is near end of life through the Status Menu. When the Sensor Life & Health status is "Fair", you have approximately 2 months to replace the sensor before it will no longer function. When a TruCal sensor is no longer capable of sensing it will go into fault and LEDs will flash yellow. It is good practice to obtain a replacement sensing element before the sensing element within your unit becomes inoperative.
There is no need to open the main enclosure. Simply unscrew the digital sensor assembly from the Sensor Body Assembly.
Maintenance
WARNING!
Do not disassemble the sensor assembly. The sensing element inside may contain hazardous
material.
Handle the sensor carefully; the electrochemical version is a sealed unit which contains a
corrosive electrolyte.
Any leaked electrolyte that comes in contact with skin, eyes or clothes can cause burns.If any contact with the electrolyte does occur, immediately rinse with a large quantity of water.
On contact with the eyes, rinse thoroughly with water for 15 minutes and consult a doctor.
Do not install a leaking sensor in the sensing head assembly. The leaking sensor must be
disposed of in accordance with local, state and federal laws.
As part of the product certification, it was verified that optional communication functions of this
gas detection instrument while operating at the maximum transaction rate do not adversely affect the gas detection operation and functions of the instrument. The product certification, however, does not include or imply approval of the SafeSwap feature, communications protocol or functions provided by the software of this instrument or of the communications apparatus and software connected to this instrument.
Follow the warnings below when removing or replacing sensors. Reference 2.10 for compo-
nent overview.
- Never remove or replace a Sensor Body Assembly or an Ultima XIR Plus while under power or when explosive hazards are present.
- Confirm that the area is free of explosive hazards before removing or replacing an XCell Sensor under power.
- To remove an XCell Sensor, unscrew XCell Sensor three full turns, wait 10 seconds, and then remove the XCell Sensor completely.
US
Failure to follow the above warnings can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.
ULTIMA® X5000
69
Maintenance
Identify the sensor assembly needed via the A-5K-SENS code on the interior sensor label and obtain the appropriate sensor assembly. Screw the replacement XCell sensor onto the Sensor Body Assembly, ensuring that the XCell sensor mates flush against the bottom edge of the Sensor Body Assembly.

Alarm set points, span value, full scale limit and alarm direction will not change when replacing a sensor with the same gas and range. Alarm set points, span value, full scale limit and alarm direction will change to the new sensor settings when replacing a sensor with a different gas and/or range.
The ULTIMA X5000 Gas Monitor is shipped with the Sensor Swap Delay enabled. This means that the 4-20 mA output signal and the FAULT relay will hold off a fault indication for two minutes before the missing sensor indication is displayed on the device. This setting allows the operator to exchange sensor modules without a FAULT indication. See Swap Delay in section 4.2.1 for more details.
US
It is recommended that all other maintenance be performed at an MSA factory-authorized service center.

6.3 Clearing a Blockage

If using a Digital Sensor with Diffusion Supervision, and if the Diffusion Supervision feature has been enabled in the Sensor Settings, the sensor will notify the user if it detects foreign material obstructing the sintered metal frit where gas would normally enter the sensor (see Fig. 45). When this condition is detected, the transmitter will go into fault and show “Diffusion Supervision Fault” on the display. Follow these recommended steps to attempt to clear this fault:
(1) Inspect and clear the sensor inlet and frit.
(2) Inspect and clear any accessories attached to the sensor.
(3) Ensure Sensor is fully mated to the Sensor Body Assembly.
(4) Attempt to recalibrate the Sensor.
(5) Disable Diffusion Supervision or replace the Sensor.
First, with the sensor still installed, visually inspect the sensor to see if any objects are covering the gas inlet and remove them. Example objects may include tape or the green Calibration Cap. Next, check to make sure that there is no foreign material stuck to the frit. If any material is found, gently remove it while considering any hazards that may arise from such an action, like the accu­mulation of a static charge, and taking the necessary steps to avoid them. Take care to ensure that the frit is not damaged during the cleaning process. DO NOT use water or liquids to try to clean the frit. The frit acts like a sponge and will retain liquids, which will keep the gas path blocked.
Maintenance
Fig. 45 Frit Location
WARNING!
The sensor relies on the frit as a part of its Flameproof/Explosionproof approval. If the frit is damaged while attempting to clean it, immediately remove power from the device. Ensure the area is free of a hazardous atmosphere, then follow all steps as outlined in this manual to properly replace the sensor. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.
If no material is visible, the frit may still be blocked by a liquid which has absorbed into the frit. Once absorbed, liquids are very difficult to remove. For these situations, relying on natural evap­oration is recommended. Due to the time it can take for liquids to evaporate sufficiently from the frit, users may want to consider swapping out the affected sensor with one that is known to be clear. Placing absorbent material against the outer surface of the frit can help accelerate this process.
ULTIMA® X5000
US
71
If a sensor is in Diffusion Supervision Fault, the device will still allow the user to attempt to calibrate the sensor. In the rare event that a sensor calibration is successful, but the Diffusion Supervision system continues to detect a blockage in the gas path, the Diffusion Supervision Fault will return in approximately 24 hours. In this scenario, there is likely an environmental factor affecting the Diffusion Supervision detection. Provided the sensor can successfully calibrate, the sensor is still capable of detecting gas. To prevent the Diffusion Supervision Fault from reoccurring, a user can either disable Diffusion Supervision in the Sensor Settings (see section 4.2.2) or replace the sensor.

FM Approval
This Approval does not include or imply Approval of apparatus to which the subject instrument may be connected. In order to maintain an FM Approved system, the apparatus to which this instrument is connected, must also be Approved by FM Approvals. As part of this Approval, it was verified that optional communication functions of this gas detection instrument while operating at the maximum transaction rate do not adversely affect the gas detection operation and functions of the instrument. This Approval, however, does not include or imply Approval of the communica­tions protocol or functions provided by the software of this instrument or of the communications apparatus or software connected to this instrument. The ULTIMA X5000 Transmitter, X5000 Junction Box, Ultima XIR Plus and Digital Sensors (H 500 ppm H
