The Sensepoint XCD range provides comprehensive monitoring of flammable, toxic
and Oxygen gas hazards in potentially explosive atmospheres, both indoors and
outdoors. Users can modify detector operation using the LCD and magnet
switches without ever needing to open the unit. This enables one-man, non-
intrusive operation and reduces routine maintenance time and costs. A tri-
colour backlit LCD clearly indicates the unit’s status at a glance, even from
a distance. A steady green backlight indicates normal operation, flashing
yellow indicates fault and flashing red indicates an alarm. All detectors are
supplied pre-configured and include 2 programmable alarm relays, 1
programmable fault relay as well as an industry standard 4-20mA output (sink
or source selectable) and MODBUS. The scale, range, relay operation, alarm
set point and electronic tag number of the detector can be adjusted using the
transmitter’s LCD and non-intrusive magnetic switches. Outputs are
automatically inhibited during adjustment, thereby reducing the risk of false
alarm at the control panel during maintenance. Sense point XCD has an integral
mounting plate for surface mounting or can be mounted to a horizontal or
vertical pipe using the optional pipe mounting bracket. Electrical
installation can be made using either conduit or cable with suitable
mechanical protection. Two M20 or ¾”NPT entries are provided (depending on
certification). A weatherproof cap is also included for use in the harshest
outdoor conditions. Other optional accessories include a sunshade/deluge
protection, duct mounting kit, collecting cone and remote mounting sensor
socket.
Sensepoint XCD ensures easy installation and the fastest routine operation by
removing the need for hot work permits in hazardous areas. Using easy to
replace plug-in sensors, downtime is also reduced and on-going costs are
minimised through the use of poison resistant flammable sensors, poison immune
infrared Hydrocarbon sensors and patented Surecell™ toxic sensors.

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 and 0-100%Vol*, as well as Carbon Dioxide (CO2) 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 Sulfide, (H2S) and Hydrogen (H2). The Oxygen transmitter is for use with the Oxygen (O2) XCD sensors. A transmitter can auto-recognize any sensor from within its sensor family. The sensor simply plugs into the bottom of the transmitter and the transmitter automatically configures itself accordingly.

Ready, Steady, Go!
Sensepoint XCD uses three instantly recognizable ‘traffic light’ colours to
indicate its status. The large tri-colour backlit LCD is steady green to
indicate normal operation, flashes yellow to indicate a fault/warning and
flashes red to indicate an alarm. This allows anyone in the area to clearly
see at a glance the status of any detector. This can be particularly useful to
identify detector status if the detector is located in a difficult to access
area or if a number of detectors are located in the same area.
XCD is the right choice for a variety of demanding industrial
applications
