Ensure that this Operating Manual is read and understood BEFORE installing / operating /
maintaining the equipment. Pay particular attention to Warnings and Cautions. All document
Warnings are listed here and repeated where appropriate at the start of the relevant chapter(s) of
this Operating Manual. Cautions appear in the sections/sub-sections of the document where they
apply.

WARNINGS
Sensepoint XCD is designed for installation and use in Zone 1 or 2 hazardous areas in
many countries including Europe and for Class 1 Division 1 or 2 area applications in North
America.
Installation must be in accordance with the recognized standards of the appropriate
authority in the country concerned.
Access to the interior of the detector, when carrying out any work, must only be conducted
by trained personnel.
Before carrying out any work ensure local regulations and site procedures are followed.
Appropriate standards must be followed to maintain the overall certification of the detector.
For installations where conduit is used, and the sensor is mounted directly to the
Sensepoint XCD, there must be a Seal Fitting installed for each of the cable gland entries
within 18 inches of the Sensepoint XCD. The total distance of the location of these Seal
Fittings is 18 inches. (e.g. If all 3 gland entries are to be used, 3 Seal Fittings should be
located, each within 6 inches of the wiring entrance).
If using an anti-seize compound, the threads should be thinly coated with an approved
silicone free compound e.g. petroleum jelly
To reduce the risk of ignition of hazardous atmosphere, de-classify the area or disconnect
the equipment from the supply circuit before opening the detector enclosure. Keep
assembly tightly closed during operation.
Never attempt to open a junction box/enclosure or replace/refit the sensor in potentially
hazardous atmospheres while power is still applied to the transmitter.
The detector must be earthed/grounded for electrical safety and to limit the effects of radio
frequency interference. Earth/ground points are provided inside and outside the unit. The
internal grounding shall be used as the primary equipment ground. The external terminal is
only a supplemental bonding connection where local authorities permit or require such a
connection.
Ensure that all screens/instrument earth/clean earth wiring is earthed/grounded at a single
point (either at the controller or detector - BUT NOT BOTH) to prevent false readings or
alarms that may occur due to potential earth/ground loops.
Take care when handling sensors as they may contain corrosive solutions.
Do not tamper with or in any way disassemble the sensor.
Do not expose to temperatures outside the recommended ranges.
Do not expose sensors under storage conditions to organic solvents or flammable liquids.
At the end of their working life, replacement electrochemical sensors for oxygen and toxic
gas must be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner. Disposal should be according
to local waste management requirements and environmental legislation.
Alternatively, old replaceable sensors may be securely packaged and returned to Honeywell
Analytics clearly marked for environmental disposal.

4 Introduction
The Sensepoint XCD (Exceed) comprises a gas detector transmitter and a choice
of sensors for detecting flammable gas, toxic gas and oxygen. The construction of
Sensepoint XCD allows it to be used in hazardous area locations; it may also be used in
other areas not classified as hazardous.
As well as a comprehensive range of Sensepoint XCD sensors, a wide range of existing
Honeywell Analytics sensors may be used with the Sensepoint XCD transmitter to detect a
broader range of target gases (please contact Honeywell Analytics for further details).
The transmitter features a display and three programmable relays for controlling external
equipment e.g. alarms, sirens, valves or switches. The transmitter provides an industry
standard 3-wire, 4-20mA source or sink output for connection to a dedicated gas detection
control system or PLC.
Calibration and maintenance is carried out using a Magnetic Wand, this allows a single
user to undertake routine maintenance without needing to access internal components.
Sensepoint XCD is suitable for use in Zone 1 or 2 hazardous areas (International) or Class
1 Division 1 or 2 area applications (North America).

6.3 Power
The Sensepoint XCD transmitter requires a power supply from the controller of between
16Vdc and 32Vdc. Ensure that a minimum supply of 16Vdc is measured at the sensor,
taking into account the voltage drop due to cable resistance.
The maximum loop resistance in the field cable is calculated as follows:

R loop = (V controller V detector min) / I detector

Example;
The controller is supplying a nominal 24Vdc (V controller), the detector minimum allowable
voltage is 16Vdc (V detector min), therefore the maximum allowable voltage drop between the
controller and detector is 8Vdc; this means a voltage drop of 4V in each core (+ve core
and -ve core).

Diagram 8: Power Connection

Power consumption of the detector is 5.0W. The current required to drive the detector at
the minimum voltage is (I = P / V), 5.0 / 16 = 312.5mA (I detector).
So, the maximum field cable loop resistance (R loop) = 8 / 0.31 = 26 Ohms, or 13 Ohms
per core, (allowing for component variations, losses, etc.).
The following tables show the maximum cable distances between the controller and
transmitter assuming a voltage drop of 4V in each core and for different cable parameters.
The tables are examples only and actual cable parameters and source power supply
voltage for the application should be used to calculate the maximum cable distance

6.4 Cabling
The use of industrial grade, suitably armoured field cable is recommended.
For example, screened 3 cores (plus screen 90% coverage), suitably mechanically
protected copper cable with a suitable M20 explosion-proof gland, or NPT steel
conduit, with 0.5 to 2.5 mm2 (20 to 13 AWG) conductors. Ensure the cable gland is
installed correctly and fully tightened.

6.5 Cable and Earth/Ground regimes

Effective Earth/Ground bonding is important to ensure good EMC and RFI immunity.
The following diagrams show examples of how to earth/ground bond the cable at
enclosures. The same principles apply to conduit installations. These bonding techniques
provide good RFI/EMC performance. Earth/ground loops must be avoided to prevent the
risk of false signal variation.

The Earth Screen of the field cable should be tied to Earth or connected to Ground at
one point only. It is common practise to adopt a STAR EARTH connection regime where
all instrumentation Screens are connected at one common point.
The Screen at the other end of the cable should be parked or terminated into a blank
terminal.

The following diagrams show how to install the wire into the ground screw of the
enclosure.

6.6 Ground Terminal Wiring

Internal Ground connection: Utilize the shield of the wiring cable recommended in the
wiring instructions. For connection to this terminal. Twist the shield wire to avoid stray
shield wires, Loosen the screw sufficiently and wrap the wire around the screw in a U
shape. Raise the clamp and place the wire between the clamp and ground base, lower the
clamp and tighten the screw to 6.9lb-in torque.
External Ground Connection: If required by local authority, Utilize a No 14 AWG copper,
(Stranded or Solid), wire. Loosen the screw sufficiently to enable wrapping the wire
around the screw in a U shape. Raise the clamp and place the wire between the clamp
and ground base, lower the clamp and tighten the screw to10.4lb-in torque.

10 Response Check and Calibration

It is recommended to periodically carry out a gas response check on the Sensepoint XCD
to ensure correct operation. This may be done in two ways;
1. A simple Response Check often referred to as a BUMP TEST is a test using calibration
gas applied to the sensor via the nozzle of the Weather Protection or using the Sensepoint
XCD Gassing Cap.
If a BUMP TEST is done via the Weather Protection nozzle it may be necessary in windy
conditions to increase the flow rate of the test gas by a further 1 LPM, OR, to shelter the
weather protection from the wind.
2. A full gas calibration of the sensor as described in the following section, using ONLY the
Sensepoint XCD Gassing Cap (Part No.: S3KCAL).

10.1 Zeroing and span calibration

Caution: Before initial calibration allow the detector to stabilize for 30 minutes after applying
power.
When in zeroing and span calibration mode the current output from the detector is inhibited
(default 2mA) to avoid false alarms.
For Flammable gas calibration use a calibration gas concentration of between 25%LEL and
75%LEL to ensure that the required accuracy can be attained.
For Hydrogen Sulfide type sensors refer to section 10.1.2 before conducting zero and span
calibration.

To calibrate the detector, use an appropriate span gas cylinder, constant flow regulator
AND the Sensepoint XCD Gassing Cap (see section 4.7). The flow rates used for
calibration gas are as follows:
Gas Type
Air or N2 for Zero
Flammable CAT
O2
H2S
CO
H2
Flammable IR
CO2 IR

Flow rate (L / Min)

0.5 to 1.0
1 to 1.5
0.5 to 1.0
0.5 to 1.0
0.5 to 1.0
0.5 to 1.0
0.4 to 0.6
0.4 to 0.6

A compressed air cylinder (20.9%Vol oxygen) should be used to perform the zero
calibration if the area where the detector is located contains any residual amount of the
target gas. If no residual gas is present then the background air can be used to perform
the zero calibration. Contact your Honeywell Analytics representative for details of suitable
calibration kits.
To calibrate the detector follow the procedure below.
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). For oxygen sensors only do parts 1-4, 12, 13 (if compressed air
cylinder is used), 14-17 and 22 of the procedure below.
26

Sensepoint XCD Technical Manual

SPXCDHMANEN Issue 2

(ZERO CALIBRATION)
1. If the ambient air is NOT considered reliable to use to set the ZERO, then remove
the weather protection and fit the Gassing Cap accessory (see Section 4.3) onto the
sensor and apply a clean source of zero gas or compressed air.
2. To access the calibration menu, hold the end of the magnet over the switch located
at the top center of the detector display () for at least 3 seconds and then remove.
3. The display will indicate the first configuration mode menu SEt CAL.

4. Put the magnet over the switch again and move to enter the Calibration menu.
5. The display will show the current gas reading, and the icon flashes.

6. When the zero gas reading is stable use to confirm zero calibration.
7. If successful the display shows ZEro PASS (if not successful, the display shows ZEro
FAIL and returns to configuration mode).

8. If using zero-air, turn it off. Zeroing is complete and saved.

9. The display shows SPAn with YES flashing.

10. If span calibration is required use proceed to the next step. If span calibration
is not required, use to select No and to return to configuration mode.

27

Sensepoint XCD Technical Manual

SPXCDHMANEN Issue 2

(SPAN CALIBRATION)
11. The display shows the current calibration span gas concentration while flashing the
icon. Use to change the calibration span gas concentration, and when
required span calibration level is set.

12. The display will show the current gas reading, and the icon flashes.

13. Connect the regulator to the span gas cylinder.

14. Apply the span gas to the sensor using the Sensepoint XCD Gassing Cap (see
section 4.7 for description). The live gas reading is displayed. When the reading is
stable, use to confirm span calibration.
15. If the sensor has been replaced the following display may be shown.

16. Use to select YES if the sensor has been replaced or No if it has not been
replaced.
17. If the span calibration is successful the instrument will briefly display SPAn PASS (if
fails SPAN FAIL displayed and returns to configuration mode).
Note: the calibration due warning counter is reset after a successful calibration. See
section 12.3 for further details of setting a calibration due warning.

18. The display alternates between Purg gAS and the gas reading to indicate that the
unit is expecting the span gas to be removed from the sensor.

28

Sensepoint XCD Technical Manual

SPXCDHMANEN Issue 2

19. Promptly switch off the calibration span gas and remove the Sensepoint XCD
Gassing Cap from the sensor to allow the gas to disperse.
20. When the reading falls below 50% of the calibration gas level the display indicates a
countdown (up to 180 seconds dependant on gas type).

21. When the countdown is finished, the calibration procedure is complete.

22. The instrument returns to the Set CAL menu. Activate the or switch to select
another menu or select QuIT to return to normal monitoring mode.

Note: Remember to always replace the Weather Protection and other accessories.

10.2 Zeroing and span calibration of Hydrogen Sulfide sensors

Hydrogen Sulphide sensors can be affected by extreme humidity changes. A sudden
increase in ambient humidity can result in a short-term positive drift in the instruments
reading. A sudden decrease in ambient humidity can result in a short-term negative drift in
the instruments reading. These are most likely to be noticed during calibration with dry or
cylinder gas.
When calibrating Hydrogen Sulphide cartridges the following should be taken into account
while following the procedure in 10.1:
1. To zero the sensor, use a compressed air cylinder of 20.9%Vol oxygen (not Nitrogen).
Do not use background air.
2. Apply the gas to the sensor for three minutes before using to confirm the zero
calibration.
3. 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 between steps 2 and 3.
4. Apply the span gas for two minutes before using to confirm the span calibration.

11 General Maintenance
WARNINGS
Access to the interior of the transmitter, when carrying out any work, must only be
conducted by trained personnel.
Care should be taken when removing and refitting the Sensepoint XCD plug-in Sensor
Cartridge to the Sensor Socket so that damage to the connection pins can be avoided.
Before carrying out any work ensure local regulations and site procedures are followed.
Appropriate standards must be followed to maintain the overall certification of the sensor
and transmitter.
To reduce the risk of ignition of hazardous atmosphere, de-classify the area or disconnect
the equipment from the supply circuit before opening the transmitter enclosure. Keep
assembly tightly closed during operation.
Never attempt to open a junction box/enclosure or replace/refit the sensor in potentially
hazardous atmospheres.
Take care when handling sensors as they may contain corrosive solutions.
Do not tamper with or in any way disassemble the sensor.
Do not expose to temperatures outside the recommended ranges.
Do not expose sensors under storage conditions to organic solvents or flammable liquids.
At the end of their working life, replacement electrochemical sensors for oxygen and toxic
gas must be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner. Disposal should be according
to local waste management requirements and environmental legislation.
Alternatively, old replaceable sensors may be securely packaged and returned to Honeywell
Analytics clearly marked for environmental disposal.
Electrochemical sensors should NOT be incinerated as this action may cause the cell to
emit toxic fumes.

Honeywell Analytics recommends that gas detectors are tested and re-calibrated on a sixmonthly basis, or according to site practice. For remote Flammable or Toxic sensors are
used with the XCD Transmitter, please refer to the individual sensor manuals for specific
recommended calibration periods.

11.1 Operational Life

The pellistors used in the Catalytic flammable gas sensor can suffer from a loss of
sensitivity when in the presence of poisons or inhibitors, e.g. silicones, sulphides, chlorine,
lead or halogenated hydrocarbons. The pellistors are poison resistant to maximize the
operational life of the Catalytic flammable sensor. A typical operating life, subject to the
presence of poisons/inhibitors is 36 months.
The NDIR (infrared) flammable gas sensor is not affected by the above-mentioned poisons
and therefore has a longer life span.
Typical life of a toxic gas sensor is dependant on the application, frequency and amount of
gas exposure. Under normal conditions (3 monthly visual inspection and 6 monthly test/recalibration), the XCD Oxygen and other toxic sensors have an expected life equal to or
greater than 24 months.
Refer to section 12 for sensor replacement procedures.

2. measured using test units calibrated at 50% of full scale,
3. measured at 1000cc/min for Methane CAT, 500cc/min for O2, Toxic and Methane/Carbon Dioxide IR with calibration cup (S3KCAL).
Response time (T90) may increase when operating in lower temperature conditions or when gas is introduced with the Weather
Protection accessory (SPXCDWP) fitted.
Data represents typical values, and system conditioning may be required to achieve stated result. Contact HA for details.
* Normal operating temperature range.
** Extended temperature range. Accuracy tolerance is extended to +/-30% of applied gas at extended temperature range. Long-term
operation at this range may cause decline of cell performance.
