Figure 2 Construction of Galvanic Cell 1.2 Modular Mechanical Design The Model CX-DM Sensor Assembly is completely modular and is made up of four parts (Figure 3). 1) CXT-DM Intelligent Transmitter Module (ITM) 2) Plug-in Electrochemical Sensor (varies by gas type and range) 3) CXT Series Bottom Housing 4) Splash Guard.

The sensor can be easily accessed and replaced in the field by releasing the locking screw and unthreading the splashguard adapter assembly. Teledyne Detconꞌs toxic sensors have a long shelf life and supported by an industry-leading warranty.

9. These sensors have a maximum safe location voltage of Um=30V. 10. The CX-DM apparatus is not capable of withstanding the 500V insulation test required by clause 6.3.12 of IEC/EN 60079-11:2007 (and by clause 6.8.1 of CSA Std. 142); thus, the enclosure must be grounded.

2.4 Sensor Mounting Vertically position the CX-DM so the sensor points straight down. The explosion-proof enclosure or junction box is typically mounted on a wall or pole. Teledyne Detcon provides a selection of standard junction boxes in aluminum and stainless steel.

Figure 7 Typical Installation 2.6 Initial Start Up Teledyne Detcon Model CX-IR sensor assemblies require three conductor connections between power supplies and host electronic controller’s 4-20mA output. Wiring designations are + (DC), – (DC), and mA (sensor signal. Maximum wire ohmic resistance between sensor and 24VDC source is defined below. Maximum wire size for termination in the Teledyne Detcon J-Box accessory is 14 gauge.

Upon completion of all mechanical mounting, apply power to the sensor. Observe the following normal conditions: 1. Upon power up, the sensor will scroll "CX-DM V##.##" and will then display the current reading for about 5 seconds. A temporary upscale reading may occur as the sensor stabilizes. This upscale reading will decrease to "0"...

4. If a calibration adapter was used during these tests, remove them from the unit, and re-install the Splash Guard. If used, remove the wind guard. Initial operational tests are complete. CX-DM toxic gas sensors are factory calibrated prior to shipment and should not require significant adjustment upon start up. However, it is recommended that a complete calibration test and adjustment be performed 16 to 24 hours after power-up.
