Honeywell XNX XNX-UTAV-NNIF1 – MPD IR propane 0–100 %LEL, mV, UL, Aluminium, 3/4" NPT
XNX-UTAV-NNIF1 is a factory-configured Honeywell XNX with MPD infrared propane 0–100 %LEL, mV personality, UL / cUL, 4 × 3/4" NPT, LM25 aluminium (painted), 4–20 mA HART only (no option board), no local HART port. Order it for LPG bullets and cylinder halls; methane IR (IV1) will under-read propane.

Why this personality / sensor
Propane is heavier than air and slides into pits. MPD IR tuned for C₃ does not need oxygen and ignores silicone poisons that kill CB1 beads. Mount 200–400 mm above grade at the pit lip, not on the roof.
Personality and replaceable parts
XNX-UTAV-NNIF1 uses the mV personality (MPD catalytic / MPD IR) board and mates with Honeywell MPD catalytic bead or MPD infrared sensors. Factory-fitted with MPD IR propane 0–100 %LEL. Spares live on product-3991. Do not substitute Sensepoint XCD cartridges on XNX.
Typical applications
LPG tank farms, bottle-filling halls and kitchen-gas manifolds need a propane-specific IR trip. XNX hard-wires 4–20 mA HART to tank ESD; a handheld only proves the aisle you walked.

Installation and wiring
Wall-mount XNX-UTAV-NNIF1 (LM25 aluminium (painted), approx. 2.8 kg) on a rigid stand sized for that mass. This SKU uses 4 × 3/4" NPT entries—glands must match; do not retap XNX-UTAV-NNIF1. Land XNX-UTAV-NNIF1 4–20 mA HART per the loop drawing; relays/Modbus/FFB exist only on the matching option board. Magnetic-wand menus on the XNX-UTAV-NNIF1 lid stay non-intrusive. XNX-UTAV-NNIF1 propane belongs at the pit lip, not the roof.
FAQ
- Comms options?
- Relays, Modbus, Foundation Fieldbus etc. depending on order.
- Install?
- Torque, entries and earthing per the manual.
- Can I use methane IR instead of XNX-UTAV-NNIF1 on an LPG skid?
- No. Response curves differ. XNX-UTAV-NNIF1 is propane (IF1). IV1 methane IR will under-alarm a propane release.
- When should I swap XNX-UTAV-NNIF1 aluminium for 316SS?
- Use XNX-UTAV-NNIF1 (aluminium, ~2.8 kg) in inland, painted plant. Coastal, splash and sour-water decks should move to stainless sibling XNX-UTSV-NNIF1.
- Which sensors?
- CAT/IR/EC etc. via personality/sensor configuration digits.
