VESDA by Xtralis VESDA Sensepoint XCL Installation Manual Wiring of mA Output Versions Power Connection When connecting to DC power, make sure that the polarity is correct. If an external power source is used, ensure that terminal 4 “Common” is used to connect the power and controller grounds together.

VESDA Sensepoint XCL Installation Manual VESDA by Xtralis Note: The load resistance of the controller must be between 33 Ω and 250 Ω. When the mA output is not being used, a 33 Ω, 0.125 W load resistor should be connected between terminal 3 (4–20 mA) and terminal 2 (0 V) for source mode or terminal 1 (+24 V DC) for sink mode.
VESDA Sensepoint XCL Installation Manual Wiring of Modbus Output Versions Modbus Connection For Modbus versions, up to 32 VESDA Sensepoint XCL detectors can be connected in a daisy chain arrangement as shown in the diagram below. Note: Where possible, spur or ‘T’ connections should be avoided. Always keep the spur connection as short as possible.
VESDA Sensepoint XCL Installation Manual VESDA by Xtralis Securing the Back Box to a Wall CAUTION: Before starting installation, make sure that the system controller or external power source is switched off. 1. There are four screw positions in the rear of the back box for mounting purposes. Punch the required screw positions or drill using a 4 mm drill.
VESDA by Xtralis VESDA Sensepoint XCL Installation Manual Cable Connections 1. Fit suitable cable glands appropriate to the application and type of cable being utilized to the opened cable entries. 2. Feed the cable through the cable gland. 3. Turn over the detector module and locate the terminal blocks on the back. Remove the terminal blocks by pulling them toward the center of the module.
VESDA Sensepoint XCL Installation Manual VESDA by Xtralis 5. Replace the terminal blocks in their correct positions. Ground Connections Effective grounding is crucial to ensure stable Modbus communications and to limit the effects of radio frequency interference. Ground points are provided inside the back box. In order to prevent false readings or alarms as a result of ground loops, ensure that the shield of all cables are grounded at a single point, preferably at the controller.
2. Where used, tighten the sealing nut of the cable gland to secure the cable. 3. Use the Calibration/Flow Cap that has been factory matched to the VESDA Sensepoint XCL. Check the serial number label on the Calibration/Flow Cap against that of the detector.
VESDA Sensepoint XCL Installation Manual VESDA by Xtralis 2.11 Connecting VESDA Sensepoint XCL to VESDA-E VEA 1. Insert 50mm length of supplied adaptor flexible tubes to interface the inlet and outlet ports of the Calibration/Flow Cap to the VEA tubes. Ensure the flexible tubes are inserted over the full length of the nozzles.
Commissioning Note: The VESDA Sensepoint XCL gas detector is supplied from the factory pre-calibrated. However, it is strongly recommended that the detector response is checked and if necessary, re-calibrated before placing it into service. Refer to Calibration for details on the correct calibration procedure.
6. Remove power and refit the detector module to the back box. 7. Apply power. The VESDA Sensepoint XCL will enter a warm-up mode during which time the status indicator will be steady yellow and the output (mA version) will be held in an inhibited state.
Page 25
VESDA by Xtralis VESDA Sensepoint XCL Installation Manual Inhibited: The indicator is on steady yellow when the user has placed the detector into the inhibit state for maintenance or repair. Alarm: The indicator flashes red when the gas concentration is beyond the alarm-level threshold.
Using the Control Buttons It is possible to perform basic maintenance functions on the VESDA Sensepoint XCL gas detector without the use of the mobile app. This is achieved through the use of two control buttons inside the detector. Familiarize yourself fully on the operation of these buttons before attempting to use them.
4. Connect another tube to the other gassing port, and place the end of this tube in a position so that gas can exhaust safely away from the work area and other personnel. 5. Connect the smart device to the VESDA Sensepoint XCL via Bluetooth. Tap the Calibration button, select Calibration and follow the on-screen instructions.

Otherwise, an alarm may occur. 8. Use the cancel function to return to normal monitoring mode. 9. Re-connect the flexible tubes to VESDA Sensepoint XCL Calibration/Flow Cap and connect to the VESDA-E VEA tubes. 10. For an initial VEA installation (i.e. out-of-box VEA), NORMALIZE the VEA smoke detector. For an existing VEA installation, RESET the VEA detector.
4. Connect smartphone to the VESDA Sensepoint XCL detector via Bluetooth. 5. Place the VESDA Sensepoint XCL detector in inhibit mode by using the inhibit control on the mobile app. 6. Attach 100m (328ft) 4mm ID (0.16in ID) tube or equivalent reduced diameter tube length upstream the VESDA Sensepoint XCL Calibration/Flow Cap.
Attempting to use non-genuine sensors could result in malfunction of the product. CAUTION: Do not replace the sensor without first a) removing power to the VESDA Sensepoint XCL or b) placing the sensor into the sensor maintenance mode. 1. Disable the VEA smoke detector, disconnect both flexible tubes from the Calibration/Flow Cap nozzles and remove Cap.
VESDA Sensepoint XCL Installation Manual VESDA by Xtralis 5. Ensuring that the sensor pins are correctly aligned, insert a new sensor into the sensor socket. CAUTION: Do not force the sensor into the socket, otherwise it may be damaged. 6. Press and hold the UP button for 2 seconds to activate warm-up mode. In this mode, the output continues to be held in its inhibit state.
VESDA Sensepoint XCL Installation Manual Mobile App Use the Sensepoint app to allow your smart device to connect to VESDA Sensepoint XCL. This mobile app makes it much easier to configure and maintain VESDA Sensepoint XCL detectors. The general procedure of using the mobile app is as follows: 1.
