1.1 Product Description
1.1.1 The XNX
®
Universal Transmitter
The XNX Universal Transmitter is a comprehensive gas detection
system designed to operate in hazardous locations
1
and utilize
multiple 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 XNX 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 XNX
electrochemical board. EC sensors measure toxic gases in
low concentrations. The XNX 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 XNX IR board. IR sensors
optically absorb gases that fall into the infrared spectrum.
For additional information about any of the three sensor types,
refer to the applicable data sheet for the supported sensor in
Figure 1.
The XNX Universal Transmitter also allows for an optional

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.)

The XNX Universal Transmitter relies on 4-20mA output, refreshed
at least every two seconds (once per second is typical), in which
the output is proportional to the gas concentration.

Output
All XNX Transmitters provide a 20mA Current Loop with HART
Source (3-Wire) or Isolated (4-Wire) electrical interface based on
installation requirements.
The 20mA current loop output provides an analog indication
of special states, a proportional output to gas concentration
and over range indication per the table below. In the event of
a simultaneous alarm and fault, an alarm condition will always
override a warning state.

1.1.3 Communications
The XNX Universal Transmitter is registered
with the HART Communication Foundation.
The transmitter uses HART over 4-20mA as the standard
communications protocol. Additional optional communication
interfaces are available: relay communication, Modbus, or

1.2.3 POD
The POD (Personality, Options, and Display) encloses circuit
boards for the personality module, optional interfaces, and
display.
The personality module, or circuit board, determines the
transmitter behavior based on the sensor type attached to
the transmitter (electrochemical cell, catalytic bead sensor, or
infrared) and provides the necessary interface. Connection to the
attached sensor is made through the sensor connector accessed
via a slot in the POD housing.
The optional communication boards vary depending on the
option selected when ordered. Only one of the three available
interface options (relays, Modbus, or Foundation Fieldbus) can
be attached to the XNX transmitter.
Figure 6. POD, exploded View
1.3 Options
1.3.1 Local HART
Available with any sensor technology or personality, an external
access to the HART interface in the XNX transmitter is provided.
An intrinsically safe (IS) barrier inside the transmitter gives the
user full control using a hand-held interrogator for programming
and conguration. The external interface is installed in the lower
left cable/conduit port of the transmitter and is intrinsically safe.
For more information, see Appendix A - HART Protocol.
Figure 7. XNX Universal Transmitter with HART Interface IS Barrier
1.3.2 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 is provided (TB4).
Momentarily closing the the circuit between the pins of TB4
performs the same function as the Reset Alarms & Faults
command.
The XNX 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.
The maximum refresh rate of the relays is 2 seconds. See Set
Alarm Values for more information.
1.3.3 Modbus
The optional Modbus interface allows the XNX to connect to
a bus of devices and transmit data to PLCs or controllers.
(For more information, see the Modbus
Protocol Manual).
Connections to the XNX are made through a pluggable terminal
block on the Modbus interface circuit board. Modbus RTU
protocol uses ASCII/Hex protocols for communication.
Note: POD options are either relay, Modbus, or Foundation Fieldbus.
1.3.4 Foundation Fieldbus
Foundation Fieldbus is a digital communication system which
supports several types of messages. Unlike many traditional
systems which require a set of wires for each device, multiple
Foundation Fieldbus devices can be connected with a
single set of wires. Foundation Fieldbus overcomes some
of the disadvantages of proprietary networks by providing a
standardized network for connecting systems and devices.
1.3.5 XNX Accessories
Pipe Mount Kit
The Pipe Mount kit (1226A0358) allows the XNX to be mounted
to pipe from 2”-6” (50-150mm) in diameter. The kit includes the

2.1 Mounting and Location of Sensors
Caution: Locate transmitters and sensors in accordance with
relevant local and national legiislation, standards, and codes of
practice.
The placement of sensors should be determined following the
advice of experts having specialist knowledge of gas dispersion,
experts having knowledge of the process plant system and
equipment involved, and safety and engineering personnel. The
agreement reached on the location of sensors should be
recorded. 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.

2.2 Wiring the XNX Transmitter
The XNX transmitter is available in sensor technologies, or
personality options, which support a variety of sensors and
applications. Each of the personalities use dedicated interface
boards. 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 XNX behavior based on
the sensor type attached to the XNX interface (Figure 35). See
Specicationsfordriftandzerodeviationvalues.

2.2.1 General Wiring Considerations
For proper operation of the XNX Universal 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.
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.
Loading
When wiring for DC power, 4-20mA signal, remote wiring to
sensorsmustbesizedsufcientlytoprovideadequatevoltages
for the line length and the loads that will be used.
Isolation
Isolating power and signal carrying conductors is recommended.
Circuit Protection
Supply circuits must provide over current protection. Class 2
power supplies are required for 24 volt DC supply. Consider
inrush current in specifying any DC supply. Power supply range

XNX Universal Transmitter
Section 2 - Installation and Operation
31
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.
Loads
The use of high inrush or inductive loads may affect the
performance of the transmitter. For best reliability use resistive
loads only.
2.2.2 Distance Considerations for Installation
Providing power to the transmitter is the factor that will
determine the maximum distance of the installation. 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-
atingvoltageofthetransmitterand/orsensor;themaximum
currentdrawofthetransmitter/sensor,theresistanceofthewire
used, the power supply voltage, and the current capacity of
power supply.
Anadditionalconsiderationisthetypeofinstallation;
specically,howmanytransmitters/sensorsaredrawingpower
from the same power supply and whether these transmitters are
using the same pair of wires (“daisy-chain”) or have their own
connections.
Types of Installations
There are three basic types of
installation:asingletransmitter;
multipletransmittersconnectedtoasinglepowersource;and
multipletransmittersconnectedina“daisy-chain”conguration.
Single Transmitter
This is the simplest type of installation. It consists of a single
XNX transmitter installation per power source.

Advantages:
• 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.

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.
Note: CSA/FM certification does not cover daisy-chained XNX combus-
tible 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
10wattpowersupplyisneforasingleXNXmVwithcatalytic
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

XNX Universal Transmitter
Section 2 - Installation and Operation
33
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 lost in the wire on the way to 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
muchpowerisbeingdrawnthroughthewire;morepowermeans
more loss. If too much voltage is lost in the wiring, there may
not be enough at the distant point to allow the transmitter to
operate.
Distance Chart for 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.

requires a second terminal block.
The personality boards also provide a dedicated pair of jumper
switchestodeneoutputofthetransmitterasisolated4-20mA,
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 Section 2.3.1).
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 hand-held interrogator
forprogrammingandconguration.Theexternalinterfaceis
intrinsically safe. It is installed in the transmitter’s lower left

sensor remotely, follow this procedure:
1. Unscrew the weatherproof cover, loosen the retainer
locking screw and unscrew the sensor retainer.
2. Remove the sensor by pulling without twisting.
3. Plug the remote sensor cable connector into the bottom of
the transmitter.
4. Route the cable to the location where the remote sensor is
to be mounted.
5. Optional: make a loop of cable at the junction box. This
will provide some slack for any future re-terminations.
6. If necessary, cut the cable to the required length.
Caution: Take care not to cut the cable too short. Once cut,
additional lengths of cable cannot be added as this would invalidate
the intrinsically safe certification.
Warning: Enclosures of remotely mounted sensors contain
aluminum. Be careful to avoid ignition hazards due to impact or
friction when installed in Zone 1 locations.

2.2.8 mV Personality Wiring
XNX Universal Transmitter with the mV personality Board allows
interfacetoHA’sMultiPurposeDetector(MPD)andeldproven
705 and Sensepoint devices.
Caution: See Section 6 - 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 Section 2.2whichdenestheXNXpowerand4-20mA
output connections that are common to all personalities.
Connections from the mV Sensor to the XNX are made via a
single pluggable terminal block allowing ease of installation and
service. Honeywell Analytics recommends that an 8” (203 mm)
service length for wiring be maintained. The wire colors for the
connections for each sensor type are shown in the following
Wire Color from Sensor table.
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
XNX mV personality board. Ensure that they are properly isolated
from live connections. Do NOT cut the wires.
Caution: Do not force the POD into the enclosure. Doing so may
result in damage to the wiring or the POD or may alter the switch
settings. If resistance is felt, wires may be preventing the POD from
being properly positioned.
Caution: Be certain to dress the wires properly to ensure cabling
does not contact switches 1-2 on the back of the POD.

2.2.9 IR Personality Wiring
The XNX Universal Transmitter allows local programming and
congurationthroughthelocalLCDdisplayaswellasthrough
the HART protocol. Gas concentrations can be read at the
transmitter from 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 or Searchline Excel Wiring Recommendations
When wiring the XNX transmitter and the Searchpoint Optima
Plus or Searchline Excel for remote applications, the general
recommendationsoftheANSI/TIA/EIA-485-Astandardmustbe
adhered to with the following additions:
1. When mounting the Searchline Excel or Searchpoint
Optima Plus, run wiring connections between each Excel
or Optima and the transmitter in a dedicated separate
conduit.
2. Use 18 AWG twisted shielded cable for the RS485
connection between Excel or Optima and the XNX. Make
sure that the shield of the cable is grounded to earth and
XNX ground on one end ONLY.
3. Avoid running wiring near main cables or other high
voltage equipment.
4. Do
not
apply 120 ohm terminating resistors. These
resistors are not required due to low data rates.
5. Honeywell Analytics recommends that Excel or Optima
sensors and the XNX transmitter be wired to building
ground. The system should be grounded at one point only.
INSTALLATION TIP:
Always perform a soft reset after connecting the Searchpoint

2.3 Options
2.3.1 Local HART Interface
Available with any sensor technology or option, this option
provides an external access to the HART interface in the
transmitter. An IS barrier inside the transmitter allows the user to
attach an external hand-held interrogator for programming and
conguration.Theexternalinterfaceisinstalledinthelowerleft
cable/conduitportofthetransmitterandisintrinsicallysafe(IS).
Figure 56. XNX Universal Transmitter with HART Interface IS Barrier installed
The HART protocol is a communication technology used with
smart process instrumentation, providing two-way digital
communication simultaneously with the 4-20mA analog signaling
used by traditional instrumentation equipment. For more
detailed information on HART, see the HART Protocol and www.
hartcomm.org.
Implementation of the HART protocol in the XNX transmitter:
•
MeetsHART6.0physicallayerspecication
• The physical layer is tested according to HART Physical
Layer Test Procedure, HCF_TEST-2.
• Data transfer rate: 1200 bps.
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,congurationparameters,andotherdevicedataare
transferred digitally via HART protocol (Figure 57). The 4–20 mA
analog signal is not affected by the HART signal.

Figure 58. Multidrop Mode of Operation
Note: Use multidrop connection for supervisory control installations
that are widely spaced, such as pipelines, custody transfer stations,
and tank farms.
In general, the installation practice for HART devices is the same
as conventional 4-20mA instrumentation. Individually shielded
twisted pair cable, either in single-pair or multi-pair varieties, is
the recommended wiring practice. Unshielded cables may be
used for short distances if ambient noise and cross-talk will not
affect communication.
Theminimumconductorsizeis0.51mmdiameter(#24AWG)for
cable runs of less than 5,000 ft (1,524m) and 0.81mm diameter
(#20AWG)forlongerdistances.
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.

and is designed to fit into the terminal connections on TB4.
The XNX 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

2.3.3 Modbus
The optional Modbus interface allows all transmitter local
user interface (LUI) functions and parameter settings to be
transmitted.
Modbus is a master-slaves protocol. Only one master (at a
time) is connected to the bus. Up to 247 slave nodes are also
connected to the same serial 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.

3.2 Calibration
Warning: Do not use the XNX Universal Transmitter in oxygen-enriched
atmospheres. Concentrations displayed will be adversely affected by oxygen
depletion.
Caution: The calibration procedure should be performed only by qualified
personnel. Take appropriate precautions with cylinders of flammable and toxic
gases.
The default calibration values for the “Calibration Required”
diagnostic vary based on sensor type. This value can be
reprogrammed in accordance with site requirements to ensure
the highest level of safety. Correct operation of each sensor
should be conrmed before each use by calibration with a
certied test gas of known concentration before commissioning.
See Section 6 - Specications for calibration gas specications.
Caution: Recalibrate if the temperature of local environment has varied by more
than ±15°C from the temperature of calibration.
Warning: 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.

XNX Universal Transmitter
Section 3 - Calibration
91
3.2.1 Zero and Span Calibration for XNX EC Sensors,
mV Sensors, and Searchpoint Optima
Caution: Before initial calibration, allow the sensor to stabilize for 30 minutes
after applying power. When in Zero and Span Calibration modes, the current
output from the sensor is inhibited (default 2mA) to avoid false alarms.
Caution: For most sticky gases (e.g., HCl, Cl
2
) use PTFE tubing with short
pieces of rubber tube for the final connection (due to the inflexibility of PTFE). This
minimizes adhesion of the gas to the tube surface and allows more accurate
measurement.
To calibrate the sensor, use an appropriate span gas cylinder,
tubing, magnet, and calibration gas ow housing. Set the ow
regulator to 300-375 ml/min for XNX EC sensors or 500 ±200 ml/
min for XNX mV sensors. A compressed gas cylinder (20.9%Vol
oxygen) should be used to perform the zero calibration if the
area where the sensor is located contains any residual amount
of the target gas. If no residual gas is present, background air
can be used to perform the zero calibration. Contact a Honeywell
Analytics representative for details about suitable calibration kits.
To calibrate the sensor, follow the procedure in Section 3.2.2.
Note: The oxygen sensor does not require a zeroing procedure. Background
air (20.9%Vol oxygen) can be used to span the oxygen sensor in place of a
compressed air cylinder (20.9%Vol oxygen). See Section 6.3.2 for other sensors.
Note: EN performance standards require 10 minutes stabilization time for
application of zero and span gas for performance-approved EC, mV, and IR
sensors prior to calibration.
3.2.2 Calibration Procedure
This section outlines the steps for calibrating the transmitter’s
attached sensors.
Note: The Zero Calibration procedure should be performed prior to the Span
Calibration procedure.
1. If using a compressed gas cylinder, push the calibration
gas ow housing onto the bottom of the sensor and apply
the gas.
2. Access the Gas Calibration Menu.

Zero and Span Calibration of XNX EC Hydrogen
Sulde (H
2
S) Sensors
Caution: Before initial calibration, allow the sensor to stabilize for 30 minutes
after applying power. When in zero and span calibration modes, the current
output from the sensor is inhibited (default 2mA) to avoid false alarms.
Caution: Recalibrate if the temperature of local environment has varied by
more than ±15°C from the temperature of calibration.
Hydrogen Sulde sensors can be affected by extreme humidity
changes. A sudden increase in ambient humidity can result in a
short-term positive drift in the instrument’s reading. A sudden
decrease in ambient humidity can result in a short-term negative
drift in the instrument’s reading. These are most likely to be
noticed during calibration with dry or cylinder gas.
When calibrating hydrogen sulde cartridges, the following
should be taken into account while following the procedure in
Section 3.2.2.
1. To zero the sensor, use a compressed gas cylinder of
20.9%Vol oxygen (not nitrogen). Do not use background
air.
If a span calibration is to be performed, the span calibration gas
should be applied to the sensor immediately after the zeroing
procedure. Do not allow the sensor to return to ambient air
conditions.
Warning: Long-term exposure (> 20 minutes) to concentrations exceediing the
full-scale range of the sensor can cause it to lose sensitivity. The ouput of the
sensor may then decrease in value even though high levels of toxic gas are still
present. Before re-calibrating the transmitter, verify the absence of gas.

3.2.8
Zero and Span Calibration for MPD Sensors
Caution: Extended or frequent exposure to elevated concentrations
of combustible gases may affect sensor sensitivity. Verify sensor
performance by frequent calibration.
Caution: Before initial calibration allow the sensor to stabilize for 30 minutes
after applying power. When in zero and span calibration modes, the current
output from the sensor is inhibited (default 2mA) to avoid false alarms.
The Gas Calibration menu is for both zero and span calibrations.
This section describes how to calibrate MPD ammable sensors
tted to the transmitter. The calibration adjustments are made on
the transmitters display. Gassing is performed at the sensor,
which may be locally or remotely located.
The following equipment is required:
• Flow housing (P/N: 1226A0411)
• Test gas
• Regulator
Note: Zero gas and Span gas should be at about the same humidity levels to
avoid erroneous cell responses.
1. At the MPD, remove the weatherproof cap, if equipped.
2. Fit the ow housing onto the MPD.
Figure 214. Flow Housing
3. Reverse the cap removal procedure. Figure 215 shows the
ow housing accessory tted to the MPD.
Figure 215. MPD with Flow Housing
4. Connect the ow housing (using either gas pipe) to the
regulated cylinder containing a known concentration of the
target gas at approximately the sensor alarm point, e.g., 50%
LEL methane in air.
Warning: As some test gases are hazardous, exhaust the flow housing outlet
to a safe area.
5. Follow the procedure in Section 3.2.1 for both zero and
span calibrations.
6. Apply the target gas to the sensor. Pass the gas through
the ow housing at a rate of
300-375 ml/min for XNX EC
sensors or 500 ±200 ml/min for XNX mV sensors
.

XNX Universal Transmitter
Section 3 - Calibration
98
Sensors should be calibrated at concentrations
representative of those to be measured. It is always
recommended that the sensor be calibrated with the target
gas it is to detect.
Caution: Responsibility for identifying and recording a sensor calibration
made with a different gas rests with the user. Refer to local regulations where
appropriate.
Ensure that the sensor and the vicinity around it is clear of
all traces of the calibration gas before continuing. This is to
avoid triggering spurious alarms.
If calibration fails at any point, discard the cartridge and
replace it with a new one (see Section 4.1) .
7. Remove the test equipment, ret the weatherproof cap to
the sensor (if previously removed for the test), and return
the system to normal operation.
3.2.9 MPD Flammable Sensor Operational Life
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. The pellistors are poison resistant to maximize the
operational life of the ammable sensor. The typical operating life
of the pellistor sensor used in the MPD-CB1 is 60 months.
3.2.10 XNX EC Sensor Operational Life
The typical life of a toxic gas sensor dependst on the application,
frequency, and amount of gas exposure. Under normal conditions
(3 month visual inspection and 6 month test/recalibration) the toxic
sensor has an expected life equal to or greater than these lifetimes:
• 12 months for ammonia, hydrogen chloride, and hydrogen
uoride sensors (see further ammonia information below).
• 24 months for chlorine dioxide, oxygen, and other toxic
sensors.
See Section 4 - Maintenance for sensor replacement procedures.
Caution: Oxygen deficient atmospheres (less than 6%V/V) may result in
inaccurate readings and performance.
Ammonia electrochemical cells are reliable and suitable for
applications where no background concentration of ammonia exists.
Under these conditions the cells are expected to operate for 12 to 24
months.
These ammonia cells are of the consumptive type. Their operating
life can be adversely affected by continuous or excessive exposure
to ammonia, or by prolonged exposure to high temperatures and
moisture.
To ensure continued detection availability, bump test the sensors
regularly and implement an appropriate cell replacement program.

3.3 Functional Gas Testing (Bump Testing)
Figure 216. Bump Test Menu
Warning: Exposure to desensitizing or contaminating substances or
concentrations causing operation of any alarm may affect sensor sensitivity.
Following such events, it is recommended to verify sensor performance by
performing a functional gas test (bump test).
It is recommended that the sensor be tested frequently to ensure
that the system is operating properly. Different sensor types may
require more frequent maintenance, depending on the
environmental conditions and the gases present. The
weatherproof cover has a spigot for attaching tubing from a gas
cylinder. This may be used for a simple functional (bump) test of
the sensor. However, environmental conditions may make this
unsuitable for some gas typesor applications. It is the
responsibility of the user to ensure suitability of this method for
each application.
1. When bump gas is applied to the sensor, the bump test
screen displays the current reading of the sensor and the
peak reading that occurred during the bump test.

Full Scale
Alarm Levels
Current Sensor
Reading
Figure 217. Bump Test Screen
2. If the difference between the reading and the applied
gas concentration is outside the acceptable limits for the
application, follow the procedures for zeroing and calibrating
the sensor (see Section 3.2.1).
3. If the reading is still inaccurate, replace the sensor (see
Section 4.1).
Once the bump test is completed successfully, the transmitter
will exit the calibration procedure. Before returning to the Gas
Calibration menu, the user will be prompted to exit and turn
alarm and fault inhibit off, exit and leave the transmitter in inhibit
mode, or not exit.
Caution: Exiting before the gas level has fallen below the level of Alarm 1 will
cause the transmitter to go into alarm.

sensor pins with the connector holes in the PCB.
6. Ret the sensor, taking care to align the sensor pins with
the connector.
7. Ret the sensor retainer, tighten the locking screw, and
ret the weatherproof cover.
8. The transmitter will enter sensor warm-up mode. However,
due to the change in sensor cell type, the transmitter
will not enter monitor mode until the unit has been
recongured. The display will show the sensor warm-up
screen:
Figure 229. Sensor screens during warmup
Note the message “G:TBV:O2”. “TBV” indicates that the
operator must recongure the transmitter to recognize
the new sensor cell. “O2” will reect the target gas of the
new cell, i.e., H2S, NO2, etc. The display will also alternate
the warm-up screen with the Fault 151 screen. This
indicates that the communication between the transmitter
and the original cell is no longer recognized. This fault
condition will clear after the transmitter has been properly
recongured.
The reconguration of the XNX for a new cell/target gas is
achieved through Accept New Sensor Type. Recalibrate
the sensor following the procedures in Section 3.2.2.

A.1 HART
®
Interface
The XNX Universal Transmitter is registered with the
HART Communication Foundation.
Note: Only qualified service personel should perform the procedures in this section.
Every XNX
®
gas sensor can communicate using the HART protocol
(dened by the HART Communication Foundation at http://www.
hartcomm.org). HART is unique among eldbuses in that the digital
signal is superimposed on a traditional 4-20 mA current loop. This
provides the reliability of analog signaling with the advanced
diagnostic capability of a digital device.
HART devices are usually connected as point-to-point networks. The
analog output of the XNX transmitter can also be disabled to facilitate
construction of multidrop, all-digital HART networks.

Field Device
Note: Instrument power is provided by an interface
or external power source that is not shown.
Figure 233. HART Point-to-point Mode
If HART is not needed, the unit can be used as a 4-20 mA transmitter.
Since the transmitter is a slave, the internal modem will remain silent
if no master signal is present. Additionally the HART signal is at too
high a frequency (1200 Hz) to interfere with analog control equipment.
Another novel feature of HART networks is that two masters can
be present. The primary master is usually a distributed control
system (DCS), programmable logic controller (PLC), or a personal
computer (PC). The secondary master can be a handheld terminal.
The XNX transmitter has been tested with the handheld Emerson eld
communicator.

Figure 234. HART Multi-point Mode
The XNX device descriptor (DD) le provides HART users with data
on the capabilities and features of the XNX Universal Transmitter.
Select HART enabled devices are able to interface with XNX
transmitters when connected via HART communication. A copy of
the le is included on the Documentation CD. This DD le can be
installed on HART-enabled Emerson eld communicators using the
Emerson Easy Upgrade Utility. The DD les located on the resource
CD are compatible with the software integral to the transmitter. Older
transmitters using earlier versions of software require previous versions
of the DD les. Contact your local Honeywell representative with any
questions regarding software compatibility.
During manufacturing, Honeywell congures the 8-digit HART tag to
the XNX serial number. This can be used to conrm correct wiring
from the transmitter to the control system. If desired, the HART tag
can be modied. The xed XNX serial number can also be read over
HART.
For convenience, the transmitter presents the HART signal on two
interfaces. The 1200 Hz AC signal is capacitively coupled to the main
20 mA analog output. This may be monitored at the control system

XNX Universal Transmitter
Appendix A - HART
®
Protocol
168
or at any point along the 20 mA loop. Additionally, the optional local
HART interface (P/N: XNX-HIF) permits temporary connection of a
HART terminal to the transmitter. This local HART port is transformer-
coupled to the main 20 mA output. This port is intrinsically safe and
polarity insensitive. See Section 2.3.1 for more information.
The internal HART modem functions as a high-impedance current
source. Thus transferring the HART signal requires a certain minimum
loop resistance between the slave and a low-impedance power
supply.
Normally, this resistance is supplied by the control system and so
need not be explicitly added. However, special treatment is needed
when the 20 mA output is not used and the local HART interface is
needed. (An installer might choose to communicate using relays,
Modbus
®
, or Foundation
TM
Fieldbus instead.) In this case, the
supplied 510 ohm resistor must be tted to create an “articial” 20
mA loop. The resistor should be connected between TB-1 terminal
1-3 and terminal 1-6. Additionally, S1 and S2 should be placed in
“source” conguration. This is shown schematically in Figure 237.
The digital HART interface provides all of the capabilities of the local
user interface. The XNX transmitter has been designed to use the
portable Emerson eld communicator with DevCom2000 software for
Microsoft Windows
®
and Emerson AMS Intelligent Device Manager.
Using HART, a service person can display information, test, calibrate,
and congure. A map of the HART menus is provided in Section
A.1.3.
ATEX Conditions for Safe Use of Intrinsically Safe
HART Handheld Devices
For installations in which both the Ci and li of the intrinsically safe
apparatus exceeds 1% of the Co and lo parameters of the associated
apparatus (excluding the cable), 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.

Event History
The XNX transmitter maintains a record of all signicant events.
All alarms, all warnings, and all faults are recorded. Additionally,
over sixty types of informational events are dened to record
important transactions such as recalibrations or conguration
changes. One-thousand records are maintained and every event
has a timestamp.
Figure 243. HART Event History Display
Test
The test menu provides methods for inhibiting the output,
exercising the analog output, or simulating alarms or faults.
These methods simplify common tasks by providing a simple
user interface.

Appendix B - Modbus Protocol
183
B.1 Modbus and the XNX transmitter
The XNX
®
gas sensor may be tted with the optional Modbus
®
interface card (P/N XNX-MB). Authoritative information on
the Modbus protocol can be found at www.modbus.org.
The XNX supports Modbus/RTU over an RS-485 physical
layer. The interface is isolated and includes a switchable 120
Ohm termination resistor. Baud rates from 1200 to 38,400 are
supported with 19,200 as the default (8 data bits, even parity, 1
stop bit).
Most of the operations that are possible with the HART
®
and
local user interfaces can also be performed using the Modbus
interface. This includes test, calibration and conguration
operations. This appendix describes only how to monitor XNX
status using Modbus.
The zero calibration procedure should be performed prior to
the span calibration. The calibration procedure is in Section
3.2.1.
Some of the relevant Modbus holding registers are listed in the
following table. In most installations, the XNX transmitter reads
only the rst ve registers (four data). The assignment of the rst
eight registers (or six data) is identical to the Honeywell Analytics
XCD gas sensor.
Building an effective Modbus automatic gas detection system
requires checking for faults (using iFaultWarnNumber or
iAlmFltLev) and checking iMonitoringState to conrm that the
XNX is not inhibited or in calibration. The pseudo code example
in Figure 247 suggests computation that should be made in
external automation equipment.
See Section 2.3.4 for information on installing the optional
Modbus hardware. See Section 2.5.1 for information on
setting the Modbus baud rate and address using the local
user interface. See Section A.1.1 for information on setting the
Modbus parameters using the HART interface.
if(
((fCurrentConc < TLV) or (iAlmFltLev & 3 == 0))
// low concentration
and
((iFaultWarnNumber < 1000) or (iAlmFltLev & 64 == 0))
// no fault
and
((iMonitoringState == 1) or (iMonitoringState == 7))
// not inhibited
and
(
(Transport layer SW indicates good Comm.)
or
(iHeartBeat changes every 5 seconds)
) // Modbus link healthy
) Then the area is safe.

Datatype Variable Name Description
40001 Int16 ID MSB always 0x24 to facilitate automatic identication. LSB repeat of Modbus address.
40002 Int16 ID Identical to 40001
40003 to 40004 Float32 fCurrentConc
The reported gas concentration in current measurement units. For example, methane at 50% LEL would be reported as 50.0 here.
This concentration is forced to zero during inhibit mode.
40005 int16 iFaultWarnNumber
This is the integer representation of the fault status. If any fault exists this will take a value in the range 1000 to 1999. Otherwise,
if any warning exists, this will take a value in the range 1 to 999. Normally, this has the value zero. For example, if the XNX
temperature is out of range, this will take the value 1103.
40006 int8 iAlmFltLev
This register contains 4 meaningful bits regarding the presence of alarms or faults. The bit assignments are as follows: Bit 0:

It is the responsibility of the system integrator to notify plant personnel if a Modbus master fails to communicate with the XNX. This
register can facilitate this notication.
