Why this principle
Dual-beam IR sees methane’s absorption band, resists catalytic poisons and works in inert atmospheres.
Typical applications
Fixed-point leak monitoring into a controller/ESD on 4–20 mA. Magnetic bump test without a hot-work permit.
Installation
Wall-mount SPXCDALMRX through the one-piece plate with M8 bolts. Entries 2 × M20 — glands must match. Land 4–20 mA as three-wire. Magnetic wand calibration stays non-intrusive.
FAQ
- Can I hot-swap SPXCDALMRX live?
- Do not hot-swap live. De-energise first; live swap damages pins and the flameproof joint.
- Can I magnetically calibrate SPXCDALMRX without opening the lid?
- Use the S3KCAL wand on the SPXCDALMRX lid calibration pad — non-intrusive. Recalibrate after a swap.
- What temperature rating does SPXCDALMRX have?
- SPXCDALMRX certified −40 to +65 °C (T6); some T-class to +75 °C.
- What sensor life should I plan for SPXCDALMRX?
- Plan SPXCDALMRX sensor life by principle: IR ~5 years. Replace the cartridge and recalibrate.
- What gas and range does SPXCDALMRX cover?
- SPXCDALMRX measures methane at default 0-100%LEL (user window 20.0–100.0%LEL). Principle: Infrared (dual-beam).
- How do I calibrate SPXCDALMRX?
- Zero/span SPXCDALMRX on the transmitter with certified gas and cap S3KCAL. Recalibrate after cartridge swap.
- Can I fit a different-gas cartridge on SPXCDALMRX?
- XCD auto-recognises the same family only. Do not mix an O₂ cell onto a flammable/toxic SPXCDALMRX transmitter.
- Does SPXCDALMRX have a display?
- SPXCDALMRX transmitter has a tri-colour backlight LCD. The cartridge itself has no display.
