2. Mechanical Mounting: Location is Everything

The physical placement of your Xnx transmitter directly impacts its performance. Xnx Universal Transmitter Quick Start Guide

Step 1: Choose the right height.

Heavy gases (H2S, Propane, Chlorine): Mount near floor level (12–18 inches above grade).
Light gases (Hydrogen, Methane): Mount near ceiling or potential leak points.
Oxygen deficiency: Mount at breathing zone (4–6 feet high).

Step 2: Secure the housing. The Xnx housing is rated NEMA 4X / IP66. Use the two side mounting flanges to attach the unit to a rigid pole, wall bracket, or unistrut. Ensure the sensor port points downward (to prevent moisture ingress). Torque mounting bolts to 15 in-lbs.

Step 3: Remove the enclosure cover. Using the hex key provided (size 3mm), loosen the set screw on the main cover. Unscrew the cover counter-clockwise. Do not lose the O-ring—this is your environmental seal.

8. Testing

Bump test: Apply gas briefly → verify alarm & mA output.
mA readback: OUT terminal should show 4 mA (clean air) → rising with gas.

Physical Layout & LEDs

Power/Status LED (green/amber/red): boot, pairing, error states
Radio activity LED (blue): TX/RX flashes
USB-C port: power and USB serial for configuration
Pairing button: short press = wake/pair; long press = factory reset
Antenna connector (if external)

Key Features

Multi-Protocol Compatibility: Supports various communication protocols including HART, Modbus, and Foundation Fieldbus.
User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive menu navigation and display for easy configuration.
Robust Design: Engineered for durability in harsh environments.
Flexible Input Options: Compatible with different sensors and input types for versatile applications.
