Connecting Generic Ma Devices - Honeywell XNX Technical Manual

XNX Universal Transmitter
the XNX Transmitter and Optima Plus or Excel is 100 feet (33
meters) using 0�75 mm 2 (18 AWG) wire minimum�
Note: A second, black-handled screwdriver is included for use on
terminal blocks 2 and 4. This tool is smaller than the magnetic wand
and is designed to fit into the terminal connections on TB2 and TB4.
The Searchpoint Optima Plus or Searchline Excel can be
supplied in either Sink or Source mode operation and is typically
labeled on the white wire exiting the Searchpoint Optima Plus or
Searchline Excel� Use the table in Figure 50 to set S3 and S4 to
the same output type that appears on the wire tag of the IR
device�
For more information see the Searchpoint Optima Plus Operating
Instructions (2104M0508) or the Searchline Excel Technical
Manual (2104M0506)�

Connecting Generic mA Devices

Use the following schematics to set switches S3 and S4 They
must be set to the same output type (which appears on the wire
tag of the mA device)�
The IR personality type provides for a generic mA input under
sensor type configuration� The transmitter can be used to
convert the mA input to be read over HART or optional Modbus
or Foundation Fieldbus protocols and set optional relays (if
equipped)� Additional configuration of gas type and unit ID
for reporting is required (see Gas Selection)� For Generic mA
devices, input values below 3mA will generate Fault 155�
