Sensepoint XCD Overview

There are three different types of the XCD transmitter for use with three different

families of sensors.

The mV type transmitter is for use with the mV family of XCD sensors including

catalytic sensors to detect flammable gases in the range 0-100%LEL and infrared

(IR) sensors for detection of Hydrocarbon gases in the range 0-100%LEL.

Two IR Hydrocarbon sensors are available; one linearised to Methane and one

linearised to Propane. The Propane version has linear cross sensitivities factors for

Ethylene, Butane and Pentane. There is also an IR CO2 sensor available in the range

0-2%Vol.

The EC type transmitter is for use with the EC family of XCD sensors including

Carbon Monoxide (CO), Hydrogen Sulphide, (H2S), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2)

and Hydrogen (H2).

The Oxygen transmitter is for use with the Oxygen (O2) XCD sensors.

A transmitter can auto-recognise any sensor from within its sensor family.

The sensor simply plugs into the bottom of the transmitter and the transmitter

automatically configures itself accordingly.
