Why this principle for this gas
NO₂ is heavier than air and rides exhaust plumes toward floor trenches. Surecell™ electrochemistry is required; IR and catalytic channels do not quantify NO₂. Mount low on the exhaust side of the engine hall, not on the fresh-air intake.
Sensor and replaceable parts
OEM cartridge SPXCDXSN1SS. Calibration cap S3KCAL. Collecting cone follows buoyancy—see installation. Pipe/duct kits: SPXCDMTBR / SPXCDDMK.
Typical applications
Standby-generator rooms, road-tunnel niches and fertiliser fill bays need a dedicated NO₂ point tied to extract fans. XCD holds that interlock; a badge dosimeter only explains the exposure after the fact.

Installation and wiring
Wall-mount SPXCDASNNX (nitrogen dioxide, 316 stainless steel) through the one-piece plate with M8 bolts sized for that mass. This SKU uses 2 × M20 entries: pipe kit SPXCDMTBR covers Ø1.5–3″, duct kit is SPXCDDMK, and glands must match—do not retap SPXCDASNNX. Land SPXCDASNNX 4–20 mA as three-wire and set Modbus address from the menu only. Magnetic wand calibration on the SPXCDASNNX lid stays non-intrusive. SPXCDASNNX NO₂ sits low on the exhaust wall.
FAQ
- What temperature rating does SPXCDASNNX have?
- SPXCDASNNX certified −40 to +65 °C (T6); some T-class to +75 °C. Sensor performance is often −20 to +55 °C.
- Is SPXCDASNNX ATEX or UL certified?
- SPXCDASNNX is the ATEX/IECEx/GB scheme (entries 2 × ¾″ NPT), not a UL housing. Current transmitter ATEX: UL 21 ATEX 2619X.
- What is the power draw of SPXCDASNNX?
- SPXCDASNNX typically draws 3.7 W (CAT 4.9 W, IR/EC 3.7 W, max 5 W). Supply 16–32 VDC (24 VDC nominal).
- What is SPXCDASNNX?
- SPXCDASNNX is a Honeywell Sensepoint XCD complete kit (transmitter + cartridge): nitrogen dioxide, 316 stainless steel, entries 2 × ¾″ NPT, approval ATEX / IECEx / GB. SPXCDASNNX is 4–20 mA and relays; for Modbus order SPXCDASNNXM. SPXCDASNNX is in stock.
- Can I retap SPXCDASNNX from M20 to NPT (or vice versa)?
- No. SPXCDASNNX flameproof entries are machined 2 × ¾″ NPT. Order the matching P/N for the other thread; do not retap in the field.
- How is SPXCDASNNX mounted?
- Wall-mount SPXCDASNNX on the one-piece plate with M8 bolts; pipe Ø40–80 mm uses SPXCDMTBR, duct SPXCDDMK. Glands must match 2 × ¾″ NPT.
- Does SPXCDASNNX provide 4–20 mA?
- SPXCDASNNX outputs 4–20 mA (source/sink). 4–20 mA is the only EN performance safety function.
