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 SPXCDALMRXM 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
- How is SPXCDALMRXM mounted?
- Wall-mount SPXCDALMRXM on the one-piece plate with M8 bolts; pipe Ø40–80 mm uses SPXCDMTBR, duct SPXCDDMK. Glands must match 2 × M20.
- Does SPXCDALMRXM use M20 or NPT entries?
- SPXCDALMRXM entries are 2 × M20. Do not retap in the field; order the matching P/N.
- Does SPXCDALMRXM have relays?
- SPXCDALMRXM has three relays 5 A @ 250 VAC. Relays are not the EN performance safety function.
- Can I hot-swap SPXCDALMRXM live?
- Do not hot-swap live. De-energise first; live swap damages pins and the flameproof joint.
- What supply voltage does SPXCDALMRXM need?
- SPXCDALMRXM supply is 16–32 VDC (24 VDC nominal). A cartridge is not separately powered.
- What gas and range does SPXCDALMRXM cover?
- SPXCDALMRXM measures methane at default 0-100%LEL (user window 20.0–100.0%LEL). Principle: Infrared (dual-beam).
- Can I fit a different-gas cartridge on SPXCDALMRXM?
- XCD auto-recognises the same family only. Do not mix an O₂ cell onto a flammable/toxic SPXCDALMRXM transmitter.
- What is the power draw of SPXCDALMRXM?
- SPXCDALMRXM typically draws 3.7 W.
- Can I magnetically calibrate SPXCDALMRXM without opening the lid?
- Use the S3KCAL wand on the SPXCDALMRXM lid calibration pad — non-intrusive. Recalibrate after a swap.
- Is SPXCDALMRXM aluminium or stainless?
- SPXCDALMRXM enclosure is LM25 epoxy-coated aluminium. Aluminium is lighter; 316SS for salt/CIP. Sibling SPXCDASMRXM.
