**Safety Information and General Guidelines** The XNX Universal Transmitter must be properly installed, wired, and maintained to ensure safe operation. The XNX Universal Transmitter supports various communication protocols for seamless data transmission. It utilizes HART over 4-20mA as the primary protocol, with additional options including
relay communication, Modbus, or Foundation Fieldbus. Each interface has its dedicated option board. The transmitter features a durable explosion-proof enclosure made of stainless steel or aluminum, suitable for operating temperatures ranging from -40°F to +149°F (-40°C to +65°C). The enclosure includes 3/4” NPT (UL/CSA or UL/INMETRO) or
M25 (ATEX/IECEx only) threaded cable/conduit ports. The POD module houses circuit boards for the personality module, optional interfaces, and display. It provides an external access to the HART interface and features an intrinsically safe barrier for user control. For customized installations, various mounting options are available, including a Pipe
Mount Kit and Ceiling Mount Bracket Kit. The kit includes necessary hardware components such as pipe mount brackets, carriage bolts, nuts, and lock washers. The XNX Transmitter also comes with weather protection accessories like the Extreme Weather Protector (SPXCDWP) for outdoor exposure applications. This feature enables nonintrusive
operation using magnetic switches. To reset alarms and display current settings, follow these steps: Swipe the magnetic end of the screwdriver over the shaded area on the glass window. Hold the screwdriver as shown in Figure 9. This will activate the flux lines between the poles of the magnet, which will trigger the switch. For best results, refer to
the illustration in Figure 11 for proper screwdriver positioning and manipulation. Once triggered, the General Status Screen will display information about the XNX Transmitter, including gas concentration and warning codes (Figure 12). The screen will alternate between these two displays. To reset alarms or faults, swipe the magnet over the
magnetic switch to access the menu structure. Here, you can adjust device settings, view current configurations, or reset warnings (Figures 14-16). Note that if the Easy Reset option is set to Lock, you'll need to log in or enter a passcode to reset alarms and faults. For more information on configuring security, see Section 2.5.1. Once you've entered
the proper passcode, the transmitter will display the Main Menu (Figure 23). From here, you can: * Display current settings/configurations * Test the transmitter * Calibrate and bump test the transmitter * Configure language, date, and time settings The Main Menu consists of the following options: Information Mode, Alarm/Fault Status, Alarm/Fault

Use Remote Mount Kit
securely, do not handhold. Wiring the XNX Transmitter Caution: Verify correct personality and communication boards before wiring. Single Transmitter Power Supply 16 to 32 VDC for EC and mV versions. Searchpoint Optima Plus 18 to 32 VDC, generic input 16 to 32 VDC. Load Considerations Avoid high inrush or inductive loads, use resistive loads
only. Power Source Selection Fewer power sources are better. Nominal voltage is 24V with varying power requirements based on the number of points using the same supply. Voltage loss occurs in thinner wires (18 AWG) compared to thicker ones (12 AWG) as it travels to the transmitter. When daisy-chaining transmitters, factors like distance
between control room and first transmitter, sensor types, and more affect calculations. Here are some scenarios for this configuration: Scenario 1: Four Transmitters - Thin wire (18 AWG) - Medium wire (16 AWG) - Thick wire (14 AWG) - Thicker wire (12 AWG) Scenario 2: Two Transmitters per Pair, Paired Every 10 Feet Scenario 3: Six Transmitters

The XNX Universal Transmitter has various settings and configurations, including a sensor status screen and HART
configuration settings. The transmitter's Modbus display shows the current address and communication data rate assigned to it. Additionally, there are settings for mA level output, relay data, and event logging. For calibration, each sensor technology supported by the XNX Universal Transmitter requires unique procedures, which can be found in the
operating manual of the specific sensor used. The transmitter itself has built-in cable/conduit ports for wiring and mounting sensors. The process of calibrating the attached sensors involves stabilizing the sensor after applying power, then inhibiting the current output to avoid false alarms. This is followed by adjusting the zero point and span
calibration values based on the gas concentration detected by the sensor. The transmitter calculates these values over a period of three minutes once the concentration values are stable. Throughout this process, specific precautions must be taken, such as avoiding use in oxygen-enriched atmospheres, ensuring proper setup of the calibration cup, and
handling gas cylinders with care. Before calibrating an H2S sensor, allow it to stabilize for 30 minutes after power application. During zero and span calibration modes, the output is inhibited (default 2mA) to prevent false alarms. Prolonged exposure (>20 minutes) to concentrations exceeding the full-scale range can cause sensitivity loss. For XNX
Universal Transmitter 4, begin span calibration by entering the concentration value of the calibration gas. Perform a zero calibration and then a span adjustment calculation. If the calibration is successful, you'll be prompted to exit the menu; otherwise, the Span Failed screen will appear. Verify sensor performance by frequent calibration. For MPD
sensors, verify sensor performance by frequent calibration due to potential exposure to elevated concentrations of combustible gases affecting sensitivity. Before initial calibration, allow the sensor to stabilize for 30 minutes after power application. The typical life of a toxic gas sensor depends on application frequency and gas exposure. Functional
gas testing (bump testing) is necessary if readings are outside acceptable limits or inaccurate. Replace the sensor if still inaccurate. For proper operation, calibrated mA output is required; adjust milliamp output levels at connected peripheral devices. An F165 fault will be reported if calibration fails. For XNX Universal Transmitter 3.6, align Excel
(Searchline Excel) and perform a soft reset for transmitters connected to Searchline Excel or Searchpoint Optima Plus sensors. This restarts infrared devices. Maintenance and Calibration Procedures for XNX Universal Transmitters When servicing or replacing sensors, ensure a safe working environment by declassifying the area or disconnecting
equipment from power before opening the sensor enclosure. **MPD Sensor Cartridge Replacement** * Verify that the new sensor label matches the required gas type. * Remove transmitter power before proceeding. * Use Figure 226 as a guide for replacement. **Replacing EC Sensor Cartridges (Toxic and Oxygen Sensors)** * For toxic sensors,
remove the shorting clip from the bottom of the sensor before installation. * The serviceable sensor allows replacing the cell with a different target gas type or changing to detect a different gas. Follow these procedures: 1. Unscrew the weatherproof cover and loosen the sensor retainer locking screw. 2. Remove the old sensor by pulling without
twisting. 3. Unscrew the sensor cap. **Warnings and Faults** The transmitter provides diagnostic messages for various issues, including: - W001: Bad XNX supply voltage - W002: Temperature error in Celsius - W009: Sensor 24 VDC supply bad or path obscured (for Optima and Excel sensors) - W011: Internal lamp issue for Optima sensors - W012:
