Sensepoint XCD RFD Technical Manual
4.1 Transmitter
The transmitter enclosure has three threaded entries. The two cable entries either side
of the upper part of the transmitter housing are for connecting the power source, signal
output and relay contacts to associated signalling equipment. The bottom entry allows
local (direct) mounting of the appropriate sensor. These three entries are ¾" NPT for the
Americas.
A local LCD provides gas type, concentration, alarm and operating status. The display
provides numerical, bar graph and icon information.
Diagnostic information may also be displayed when the transmitter is interrogated using
a magnet. The transmitter cover has a glass window which allows use of the Magnetic
Wand to activate the three user interface magnetic switches that are located on the front
of the display module. The magnet also enables a non intrusive, one-man calibration and
configuration facility for the Sensepoint XCD RFD.
