Description
Detcon Model X40 is a low power alarm and control system designed to Model X40-8-N4X
monitor multiple gas detection sensors and/or a wide range of other field
devices. The versatile control system is designed to receive and supervise
inputs using either 4-20mA DC or Serial RS-485 Modbus™ and is available
in two packages: Model X40-8 and Model X40-32. Both packages function
as a Modbus™ Master and can be customized and expanded based on
individual application needs using Detcon’s stackable din-rail mounted I/O
modules. All I/O modules are individually addressable and operate on 11.5-
30VDC. The X40-8 provides power for up to eight field devices and can
house up to six 4-channel I/O modules. The X40-32 provides power for up
to 32 field devices and can house up to 12 4-channel I/O modules. Detcon
I/O modules available for use with the Model X40 include a 4-channel
4-20mA input module (DA-4), a 4-alarm relay output module (RL-4), a
4-channel 4-20mA output module (AO-4), and a 4-relay contact input
module (DI-4). Detcon modules can be mounted within the main system
enclosure or installed remotely to simplify field wiring.
The Model X40 is completely field programmable using a small handheld Model X40-N7
magnet and offers advanced technology with intuitive, embedded intelli-
gence. The control system displays real time readings and field device status
on a backlit LCD screen. During normal operation the screen displays the
alarm status and current reading (i.e., channel number, gas type, and gas
concentration) for up to 8 field devices simultaneously. The display is
sequential and during normal operation it auto cycles through each of the
active channel screens.
Among the system’s unique features is a wireless option that can be used
with Detcon’s RXT-320 SmartWireless® transceivers. Enclosure options
include: NEMA 4X, NEMA 1 panel mount, and NEMA 7.
