Technical Manual. Cautions appear in the sections/sub-sections of the document where they apply. WARNINGS Sensepoint XCD RTD 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.
Sensepoint XCD RTD Technical Manual SPXCDHMRTEN Issue 1 2 Information This manual is applicable only for the Sensepoint XCD RTD version of the Sensepoint XCD product range. Where “Sensepoint Toxic” is mentioned throughout this manual, it refers to the Honeywell Analytics Sensepoint product range of Toxic AND Oxygen gas sensors.
SPXCDHMRTEN Issue 1 4 Introduction The Sensepoint XCD RTD comprises a gas detector transmitter and a choice of sensors for detecting 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.
Diagram 2: Sensepoint XCD RTD Display and Magnetic Switches 4.2 Sensepoint Toxic Gas Sensor The Sensepoint XCD RTD transmitter is designed to work with a range of Sensepoint toxic sensors (see section 7 for details of gases and ranges available) .
4.3 Accessories A range of accessories are available to allow use of Sensepoint XCD RTD in a wide variety of applications. These include Pipe mounting bracket, Sunshade deluge cover, Sensor collecting cone, Sensor flow Housing and Remote sensor mounting junction ...
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.
The agreement reached on the location of detectors should be recorded. The Honeywell Analytics Gas Book may be referred to for further useful information regarding gas detector mounting and location. Please contact your local sales/service agent for a copy.

Sensepoint XCD RTD Technical Manual SPXCDHMRTEN Issue 1 Diagram 5: Mounting arrangements To mount the Sensepoint XCD transmitter to a Vertical or Horizontal pipe/structure, use the optional XCD Mounting Kit and following procedure: 1.
5.3.1 Local Sensor Mounting To mount a sensor directly to the Sensepoint XCD RTD transmitter follow the procedure below 1. Remove the transmitter’s cover by loosening the locking screw and unscrewing the cover in a counter-clockwise direction.
Sensepoint XCD RTD Technical Manual SPXCDHMRTEN Issue 1 5.3.2 Remote Sensor Mounting A remotely mounted sensor should be mounted using a suitable junction box or approved electrical conduit scheme. For further details regarding mounting sensors to suitable junction boxes refer to the relevant sensor manual.
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.
Diagram 8: Sensepoint XCD RTD Terminal module 6.2 Transmitter Wiring Caution: All electrical connections should be made in accordance with any relevant local or national legislation, standards or codes of practice. 6.2.1 Wiring from Transmitter to Controller The Sensepoint XCD transmitter may be wired in either Current SOURCE or Current SINK configuration.
-VE(Blue) 4~20mA Unused Table 1: Sensepoint XCD RTD Terminal connections 6.2.2 Wiring from Transmitter to Sensepoint Toxic The sensor wiring for XCD RTD allows a mA input range of 0mA to 24mA max, and it will be saturated to 24mA when more than 24mA current is applied to the XCD RTD.
Sensepoint XCD RTD Technical Manual SPXCDHMRTEN Issue 1 6.3 Power The Sensepoint XCD transmitter requires a power supply from the controller of between 18Vdc and 32Vdc. Ensure that a minimum supply of 18Vdc is measured at the sensor, taking into account the voltage drop due to cable resistance.
Sensepoint XCD RTD Technical Manual SPXCDHMRTEN Issue 1 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 ¾” NPT steel conduit, with 0.5 to 2.5 mm2 (20 to 13 AWG) conductors.
Sensepoint XCD RTD Technical Manual SPXCDHMRTEN Issue 1 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.

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 six- monthly basis, or according to site practice. For Sensepoint Toxic sensors that are used either directly with XCD RTD transmitter or remotely mounted in a separate junction box, please refer to individual sensor manual for specific recommended calibration periods.
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.
