    Safety Regulations Correct Use The ULTIMA X5000 Gas Monitor, hereafter also called device, is a gas monitor for measuring toxic and combustible gases as well as oxygen. Using sensors, the device tests the ambient air and triggers the alarm as soon as the gas exceeds a specific concentration level.

  • Page 6: Product Warranty

    Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada's website www.hc-sc.gc.ca. Product Warranty ITEM WARRANTY PERIOD MSA warrants that this product will be free from mechanical defects and faulty workmanship for the period specified in this table for each component, ULTIMA X5000 Gas Monitor provided it is maintained and used in accordance with MSA's instructions and/or recommendations.

  • Page 7: Description

    These are used to signal normal operating conditions, fault conditions and alarm conditions. The ULTIMA X5000 will go into “Eco-Mode” after 3 minutes of no interaction and if not in an alarm condition. While in Eco-Mode, the main display will power down and the status LED's will remain illuminated to determine that the device is not in an alarm condition.

  • Page 8: No Tool Interface

    The ULTIMA X5000 can be ordered with Bluetooth communication. Using the X/S Connect App on an appropriate smart phone or tablet, you are able to interface with the ULTIMA X5000 in a larger and more user friendly setting. Connecting via Bluetooth enables communication with trans- mitter up to 70 feet (21 m) away.

    XCell sensors without needing to power down the instrument. For added convenience, the ULTIMA X5000 comes with Swap Delay enabled by default; a feature that gives users a 2 minute window to change sensors without triggering a fault condition. For more information on SafeSwap and Swap Delay, see section 4.2.1.

  • Page 10: Housing

    Description Housing The ULTIMA X5000 comes in 316 Stainless Steel for the highest corrosion resistance. Both ¾” NPT and M25 conduit entries are available. To attach a sensor to an M25 housing, an M25 adapter is required and will be included with the shipment. An integral surface mount bracket can be used to mount directly into the wall surface or used with a U-Bolt for mounting to a 2”...

  • Page 11: Installation

    For ULTIMA X5000 Digital Sensors marked Class II or III and installed in a Class II or III hazardous location, the atmosphere must be free of dust or fibers or filings and the power removed from the unit before the sensor cap can be removed from the housing.

  • Page 12: Product Installation Check List

    Optimum sensor placement will depend on the surrounding processing equipment, such as pipes, valves, or turbines. MSA offers a gas and flame mapping service that systematically evaluates potential sources of leaks and recommends detector quantity and placement to create the most effective detection system.

  • Page 13: Sensor Orientation

    Installation 3.4.3 Sensor Orientation Sensor orientation will depend on the sensor type. If mounting an ULTIMA XIR PLUS sensor, whether locally on the transmitter or via remote junction box, the sensor should be mounted hori- zontally. If the ULTIMA XIR PLUS sensor is not mounted horizontally, the sensor will be prone to more frequent beam blocking issues due to accumulated dust and condensation on the surface of the ULTIMA XIR PLUS sensor.

  • Page 14: Connecting Sensor To Transmitter Housing Or Remote Junction Box

    If using a second sensor, connect it to the “Sensor 2” position. CAUTION! If only using one sensor, and it is connected to “Sensor 2” position, the ULTIMA X5000 will enter Sensor Missing fault. See Disable Sensor in section 4.2.2 for details on how to clear this fault.
  • Page 15 Grounding Sensor to Transmitter Housing Verify the sensor connector is firmly seated on the terminal board. Attach the sensor's ground to either of the grounding screws inside the ULTIMA X5000 housing. Replace the board stack legs into the four depressions in the housing. Push firmly on the board stack where indicated (see Fig.

  • Page 16: Integrated Mounting Points

    Installation 3.4.5 Integrated Mounting Points The ULTIMA X5000 transmitter can be surface mounted without any additional brackets using the integrated mounting tabs. Fig. 10 Internal Mounting Tabs (not compatible with ULTIMA XIR PLUS Sensors) An supplementary mounting bracket is required for surface mounting the ULTIMA X5000 with an attached ULTIMA XIR PLUS sensor.

  • Page 17: 2" (50.8 Mm) Pipe Mount

    The integrated mounting tabs on the device housing can be mounted to a 2" (50,8 mm) pipe using a standard U-bolt. MSA provides U-bolts as an optional accessory (Part Number 10179873), however any 2” (50.8 mm) pipe U-bolt rated for the weight and dimensions of the ULTIMA X5000 can be used.

  • Page 18: Duct Mount

    Installation 3.4.8 Duct Mount Duct mount kits are available for monitoring atmosphere inside flat or round ducts. Round duct mount kits are available for small ducts 12-20" (305-508 mm) in diameter (Part Number 10179124) and large ducts 20-40" (508-1016 mm) in diameter (Part Number 10179321). The flat duct mount (Part Number 10176947) is universal for flat ducts.

  • Page 21: Installing A Remote Sensor Junction Box

    If the remote sensor is not easily accessed, it is best practice to install tubing that can be used to apply calibration gas from the device display. Route the tubing to the ULTIMA X5000 Gas Monitor, ensuring that there are no kinks, leaks or other obstructions. Secure this tubing near the monitor.

  • Page 22: Electrical Power Connections

    • For ULTIMA X5000 Digital Sensors marked Class II or III and installed in a Class I or III hazardous location atmosphere must be free of dust or fibers/flyings and the power removed from the unit before the sensor cap can be removed from the housing. Failure to follow this warning can result in the ignition of a hazardous atmosphere.

    WARNING! Use zero gas when zeroing the ULTIMA X5000 transmitter if there is any possibility of background gas. Otherwise, improper calibration could occur. Always calibrate for the least sensitive gas or vapor (higher number category) expected to be measured.

  • Page 49: Calibration Frequency

    Calibration Calibration Frequency The frequency of calibration gas testing depends on the operating time, chemical exposure, and type of sensor. Especially in new installations or applications, it is recommended that the first sensors be calibrated more often to establish the sensor performance in this particular environ- ment.
