Introduction
1.1 Description
The Detcon X40 controller is a multi-channel gas detection control system designed to serve as a host
monitor and controller for a network of gas detection sensors as well as a wide range of other field devices.
All X40 models are configurable for up to 32 channels and can be customized using Detcons selection of
I/O modules. The enclosure type will dictate the number of I/O modules that can be accommodated. These
modules communicate with the controller via Modbus and are available in four channel sets for 4-20mA
inputs, dry contact inputs, 4-20mA outputs and relay outputs. The modules are DIN rail mounted and
stackable allowing for seamless system expansion.
Remote mounted gas detection sensors can include any analog 4-20mA or RS-485 (Modbus) serial
output device such as toxic gas, combustible gas or oxygen deficiency sensors. Other remote field devices
can include contact closure inputs such as liquid level, temperature, pressure or smoke detection devices.
The analog sensors and field devices are interfaced to the I/O modules which communicate with the
controllers COMM1 Modbus master port. The serial sensors interface directly with the controllers
COMM1 port and do not require I/O modules. Thus, the types of sensors or field devices being interfaced
will dictate the I/O modules needed for the X40 controller. Also, all configuration inputs are completely
field-configurable which provides a distinctive combination of user configuration flexibility and expansion
customization.
The X40 controller utilizes a non-intrusive magnetic interface and displays the real time status of every
sensor on a backlit LCD. Typical sensor status includes channel number, gas concentration, device tag (gas
type) and alarm/fault status. Each channel provides three alarm levels (Alarm 1, Alarm 2 and Alarm 3) and
fault for which the present status can be shown via the front panel LED indicators. Additional features
include Alarm Inhibit, Alarm Reset and Alarm Silence (Acknowledge) functions.
The X40 controller is available in different enclosure types to accommodate various customer needs. The
NEMA 4 enclosures can also incorporate integral alarms such as a Strobe, or a horn or both. These
enclosure types are NEMA 1 (N1P), NEMA 4X (N4X) and NEMA 7 (N7). The N1P is an indoor use,
panel-mount enclosure. The N4X is an indoor/outdoor use, water/corrosion proof enclosure. The N7 is an
indoor/outdoor use, explosion proof enclosure. These enclosure types are discussed in more detail in their
perspective installation sections.

1.2 System Operation

The heart of the X40 controller is the non-intrusive magnetic interface with backlit LCD display. The
controller communicates with serial (RS-485) sensors and I/O modules using RS-485 Modbus RTU
protocol. The X40 includes a primary Modbus interface (COMM1 Master) and a secondary Modbus
interface (COMM2 Slave) that is used for communication with another controller or remote display. The
Modbus master interface is used to communicate directly with Modbus capable sensors and Detcons
I/O modules. The I/O modules are individually addressable and operate on 11.5-30VDC.
The number of I/O modules supported by the X40 controller will vary depending on the enclosure type
chosen due to physical space limitations. A maximum of 2 I/O modules will fit outside the X40-32-N1P
enclosure, a maximum of 6 I/O modules will fit inside the X40-08-N4X enclosure and a maximum of 12
I/O modules will fit inside the X40-32-N4X enclosure. I/O modules are normally factory installed unless
specifically instructed otherwise. The X40-32-N7 enclosure does not accommodate module installations.
Modules for the N7 enclosure or any additional modules for the other enclosure types will have to be
mounted in a separate enclosure by the customer. I/O modules are purchased separately.
The available Detcon I/O modules include:
Model DA-4 Four Channel 4-20mA Input Module
Model DI-4 Four Channel Dry Contact Input Module
Model AO-4 Four Channel 4-20mA Output Module
Model RL-4 Four Alarm Relay Output Module
Alarm values and fault condition can be field-configurable via the magnetic user interface to cause an
assigned relay output or bank of relay outputs to fire, thus triggering external alarm devices. As gas alarm
or fault conditions clear, the assigned relay outputs return to their normal states. Relays can be set-up as
Energized/De-Energized, Latching/Non-Latching and Silenceable/Non-Silenceable. The X40 also allows
for wiring of an external manual switch to act as an Acknowledge/Reset switch.
The X40 controller can be configured for various I/O combinations at the Detcon factory based on
application specific information provided by the customer on the Configuration Form. It must be verified
that the correct quantity and type of I/O modules have been purchased to support the customers
configuration requirements. On the Configuration Form, the customer should supply all site-specific
information:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)

Detcon sensor model number and I/O type (Modbus or 4-20mA) for each channel
Range, units, and gas type for each channel
Alarm level(s) for each gas channel
Device Tag for each channel
Assignment and set-up information for each relay contact
Analog output requirements for each channel
NOTE: The set-up configuration is fully field-configurable and can be executed by the user in
the field. Refer to section 7 System Operation and Configuration. Modifications to the set-up
configuration are expected to take place at the customers site due to requirement changes
and/or system expansions.

NOTE: The X40-32-N7 controller can support up to a maximum of 32 sensors and any
associated I/O modules, but no I/O modules can be installed in the controller. All I/O modules
required will need to be mounted separately by the customer.
4.2.1
AC Power and I/O Connections
An optional AC/DC converter board is available from Detcon to power the X40-32-N7 controller with an
AC voltage source. The AC/DC converter is provided inside a condulet/J-Box (See Error! Reference
source not found.). This converter takes AC inputs from 90-264VAC and provides a 24VDC output.
Connect 90-264VAC input wiring to the J3 connector of the converter board labeled AC IN. The
terminals on the J3 connector are labeled N for neutral, L for line power and E for earth ground.
Power and I/O connections to the controller can be made by interfacing the J1 connector of the AC/DC
converter board to the J7 connector of the controller. I/O modules and sensors can then be interfaced to the
X40 controller through the J2 connector of the AC/DC converter board (See Figure 14).

I/O Connections
The quantity of I/O modules supported by the X40 controller will vary depending on the enclosure type
chosen due to physical space limitations. A maximum of 2 I/O modules may be installed on the Model
X40-32-N1P enclosure, a maximum of 6 I/O modules may be installed in the Model X40-08-N4X
enclosure and a maximum of 12 I/O modules may be installed in the Model X40-32-N4X enclosure.
Modules can be installed on the enclosures DIN rail.
NOTE: The X40-32-N7 enclosure does not accommodate module installations. Modules for
the N7 enclosure or any additional modules for the other enclosure types will have to be
mounted in a separate enclosure by the customer. Refer to Section 4.2.
NOTE: The X40-08-N4X enclosure with Alarm Strobe comes with at least one RL-4 module
installed. This module is used to power the Alarm Strobe, and should not be removed.
I/O modules are mounted on an industry-standard 37.5 x 7.5 mm DIN rail (See Figure 16). Install the first
I/O module at the end of the DIN rail nearest the male connector. Plug the male connector into the side of
the module. Slide it all the way to the end stop. Add additional modules next to the first module. When
installing additional I/O modules, make sure there is about 0.5 inch clearance on either side of the module
and snap the module onto the DIN rail (the 0.5 spacing is to allow for connector clearance). Once the I/O
module is snapped onto the DIN rail, slide it towards the adjacent module and assure that it firmly plugs
into it. Connect the RS-485 and power female connector to the last module installed on the DIN rail.
Secure the modules with an end stop.
Add additional modules
as needed.

(See section 7.3.11).
5.4 Alarm Relay Outputs (RL-4)

There are four Form C, Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT), 5 Amp relay contacts in each Model RL-4
module. Each relay in the module is assigned specifically to one alarm. Relay 1 is assigned to Alarm 1,
relay 2 is assign to Alarm 2, relay 3 is assigned to Alarm 3, and relay 4 is assigned to Fault. These can be
used to control (fire) annunciating devices or as signal inputs to other control devices. Connections to the
relay contacts of the RL-4 module are shown in Figure 21 and are labeled C (Common), NO (Normally
Open) and NC (Normally Closed). Note that the 5 Amp rating of the relay contact should not be exceeded.
RL-4 modules can be installed on the DIN rail of the controller.
NOTE: The current ratings of the relay contacts should not be exceeded. (5A @ 30VDC, 5A

RL-4 modules provide a contact output for the associated channel. These outputs are communicated by the
controller to the RL-4 modules using RS-485 Modbus RTU protocol therefore each RL-4 module must
have a unique Modbus address. Modules are serially addressed in hex using the two rotary switches on
the modules front panel labeled MSD (most significant digit) and LSD (least significant digit).
The X40 controller has been configured to have two separate relay banks (Bank1 and Bank2). Each bank
can hold up to four RL-4 modules and are defined by addresses 80h-83h for Bank1 and 84h-87h for Bank2.
Anytime a specific alarm is fired for a module in a bank, all corresponding alarms for all modules in that
particular bank are also triggered. For example, if alarm 3 of a particular module is triggered in Bank2,
then all alarm 3s for all the modules in Bank2 will also be fired. All RL-4 modules must be setup on the
COMM1 (master) port of the controller and be defined in Bank1 or Bank2 (See section 7.3.2). The RL-4
modules must be addressed according to Table 2 RL-4 Relay Modbus Addresses.
For NEMA 4 units that have an integral alarm strobe, the strobe is connected to the first RL-4 installed in
the enclosure, and is connected to Alarm 1 of the RL-4. The RL-4 is assigned to Bank1, Alarm1, but can
be reconfigured by the user.

to the alarm set points of the associated channel. If the controller does not detect an RL-4 module, the blue
LED (Fault) will start flashing. Go to the FLASHING BLUE LED CODES menu to identify the problem
(See section 7.3.11).
Each relay within the bank can be set as Energized/De-Energized, Silenceable/Non-Silenceable, and
Latching/Non-Latching (See section 7.3.10).
5.4.1
Energized or De-Energized
All alarms relays - Alarm 1, Alarm 2, Alarm 3, and Fault - can be configured to operate in either energized
or de-energized mode. In de-energized mode, the normally open contact is open if the alarm level has not
been reached (alarm relays) or the sensor is not in fault (fault relay). In energized mode, the normally open
contact is closed if the alarm level has not been reached (alarm relays) or the sensor is not in fault (fault
relay). Energized mode provides for fail-safe operation since a loss of power or cable failure will cause the
contact to be open.
5.4.2
Silenceable or Non-Silenceable
All alarms - Alarm 1, Alarm 2, Alarm 3, and Fault - can be configured to operate as silenceable, or nonsilenceable. If an alarm or fault is configured as non-silenceable, the corresponding alarm LED and relay,
once activated, will stay activated until the cause of the alarm or fault has cleared. If an alarm or fault is
configured as silenceable, the corresponding alarm LED and relay, once activated, can be deactivated by
acknowledging the Alarm Silence function on the front panel of the X40 controller or by activating the
external acknowledge switch if one has been installed (See section 7.1.4 ENTER and RESET/ACK Switch
and section 9.1 Optional Remote Alarm Reset/Acknowledge Switch).
5.4.3
Latching or Non-Latching Relays
All alarms - Alarm 1, Alarm 2, Alarm 3, and Fault - can be configured as either latching or non-latching.
In non-latching mode, the relay is deactivated as soon as the sensor alarm (alarm relays) or fault (fault
relay) condition is cleared. In latching mode, the relay remains active even after the alarm or fault
condition has cleared. Once activated, the relay can only be deactivated by acknowledging the Alarm
Reset function on the front panel of the X40 controller or by activating the external reset switch if one has
been installed (See section 7.1.4 ENTER and RESET/ACK Switch and section 9.1 Optional Remote Alarm
Reset/Acknowledge Switch).
5.5 Serial Output Gas Sensors (RS-485)

Serial output gas sensors can be interfaced with the X40 controller without the need for I/O modules. This
is accomplished by connecting the sensors in series to the controllers primary RS-485 Modbus interface
(COMM1). Connect the five wires of a Modbus capable sensor (Detcon Model 100, Model 600 and
Model 700 series, typically) to the Modbus DIN rail mounted terminal block, labeled RS-485
MASTER and VDC Out (See Figure 22). For the X40-32-N7 controller, the serial sensors can be
connected directly to the J7 connector of the controllers PCA (See section 4.2).

controller to communicate properly. The sensors must be connected in series (daisy-chained) to other RS485 sensors. The serial sensors must be addressed within the range 01h-7Fh.
A serial sensor connected properly to the controller will provide the controller with a continuous reading of
the sensor attached.
NOTE: Serial output sensors must be connected in series to the COMM1 port, they must be
addressed correctly and only those channels associated with the serial sensors will be available.

ERR.
5.6 General Wiring Notes

Follow generally accepted guidelines for RS-485 serial networks. Do not wire I/O modules and/or
Modbus gas sensors in long-distance T-Tap configurations. Instead, use a daisy-chain wiring
scheme.
Use Detcon recommended cabling whenever possible.
Belden P/N 1502P cable is recommended for a single cable providing serial communications
and power.
Belden P/N 9841 cable is recommended for a single cable providing serial communications
only.
Ground the cable shielding at the X40 controller only. Other points of grounding may cause a ground
loop, and induce unwanted noise on the RS-485 line, which in turn may disrupt communications.
5.7 Initial Start-Up

The X40 controller will power up as soon as power is applied. There is no external power switch to the
unit.
NOTE: Before applying power, check to make sure that all the wiring connections and
external devices are installed correctly.
NOTE: Applying power with devices hooked up incorrectly may cause damage to the
equipment.
When power is applied to the unit, the unit will boot up and display the company name, model, firmware
version and COMM ports available. It will proceed to poll Modbus addresses of any attached devices.
The display will show up to 8 channels at one time. The LCD will then refresh and display the next 8
channels and so on until the LCD cycles back to the first 8 channels and repeats the process. This is
considered normal operation.
If a previous configuration does not exist, the user will need to manually configure the network from the
user-interface. After the unit has been configured, the unit will begin normal operation. If the unit has
been configured properly, the unit will display the current status of the devices that it is connected to.

Secure Digital Card
The X40 controller has a feature that allows data logging when a secure digital (SD) memory card is
installed. The SD card must be installed in the SD slot (J9) on the back of the controllers PCA before the
controller is powered up. The controller will notify the user if a successful installation of the card was
achieved upon power up. The controller will automatically format the card and create the necessary files
for data logging. See section 7.3.18 for more information regarding the data logging feature.

System Operation and Configuration
7.
The setup of the controller is critical for proper operation. Modbus addresses must be correct on all the
devices connected to the controller before the controller will acknowledge them. The number of sensors
must be entered into the controller to allow it to communicate with them. Four basic areas need to be
configured:
The number of sensors must be determined before setup begins.

The sensors channel information must be configured to match the sensor connected.
If 4-20mA outputs are required, they must be set up and configured.
Relay modules and banks must be configured.
7.1 Operator Interface

The operator interface of the X40 controller is accomplished via four internal magnetic switches located
above the controllers backlit LCD display. The four switches offer a non-intrusive interface and allow for
complete configuration of the controller. These switches are labeled: PROG, u (Up Arrow), v (Down
Arrow) and ENTER. The ENTER switch also doubles as a RESET/ACK switch from the Main Display
only (Not in Menu Mode). With reference to the Menu Flow Chart (See Figure 25), it is easy to learn how
to navigate the menus and make changes.
The magnetic programming tool (See Figure 23) is used to operate the magnetic switches. Switch action is
defined as a momentary contact (hold) on a switch marker (). For momentary contact, the programming
magnet is briefly held on the switch marker () and then removed. This action will be referred to as a
swipe for the remainder of this manual.
Figure 23 Magnetic Programming Tool
7.1.1
PROG Switch
From the Main Display, the PROG switch enters into the Main Menu. Once inside the Main Menu, the
PROG switch acts as an Escape switch that moves backwards in the menu flow chart.
NOTE: While in Main Menu mode there are no updates to gas readings and hence no alarms
will take place.
7.1.2
u Up Arrow Switch
This switch moves the user up the Main Menu flow chart. It is also used to change selected entries
within menu selections in the upward direction.
7.1.3
v Down Arrow Switch
This switch moves the user down the Main Menu flow chart. It is also used to change selected entries
within menu selections in the downward direction.
7.1.4
ENTER and RESET/ACK Switch
This switch has multi-purpose use. The ENTER function is used to accept selections within all menu
screens. The switch is also used to execute the Reset and Acknowledge functions. The Reset function
releases all latched relays if they have cleared the alarm/fault condition. The Acknowledge function
will disengage any silenceable relays that are in a currently active state. This is typically used to
Rev. 2.1

NOTE: The controller automatically times out of Main Menu mode and returns to the Main
Display after 15 seconds of inactivity.
NOTE: The RESET/ACKNOWLEDGE function is applicable from the Main Display only.
7.2 Main Display Functions

The Main Display is a 1 x 6 backlit LCD that has 4 lines by 40 characters. In normal operation, the
configured channels will be displayed up to 8 channels at one time. The LCD then refreshes, displaying the
next 8 channel group and so on until the LCD cycles back to the first 8 channel group and repeats the
process. When the X40 is in alarm, the display will stay on the channel group with the channel in alarm. If
two or more channels in different groups are in alarm, then the display will cycle through all the groups
with alarms. The user can manually advance to the next channel group using the arrow switches. This is
considered normal operation and each channels information will be shown as:
XX>
YYY Device Tag
Where XX is the corresponding channel number followed by the gas concentration value YYY. If any
channel is in any gas alarm condition, XX> YYY IN ALARM# will be displayed for that channel. If
any gas channel is in fault, XX> YYY IN FAULT will be displayed for that channel. If any channel is
not communicating with its appropriate device, then that channel will display XX> 0 COMM ERR.
Four LED indicators on the front panel show alarm and fault alarm output status. The LEDs represent
ALM 1 (yellow), ALM 2 (yellow), ALM 3 (red) and FAULT (blue) and are labeled respectively.

proceed to search for available AO4 modules starting with Modbus address A1h. The search will
continue until Modbus address A8h is reached or until it is terminated by swiping the ENTER marker
which will save the AO4 modules found up to that point and proceed to search for available RXT-320
transceivers starting with Modbus address 01h. The search will continue until Modbus address 8Fh is
reached or until it is terminated by swiping the ENTER marker which will save the RXT-320 transceivers
found up to that point. A swipe of the PROG marker at any time while in search mode will cancel the
search and restore the default settings. Any devices found up to that point will not be saved.
7.3.2
Set # of Channels, AO-4s, RL-4s (Alarm Stations)
The SET # OF CHANNELS/AO4S/RL4S/ALARM STATIONS menu allows the user to set the number of
active channels (1-32), the number of AO-4 modules (0-8) and the number of RL-4 modules (0-4) each for
Bank1 and Bank2. The number of active channels should match the number of sensors being connected to
the controller. Upon entering this menu, the LCD will display:

RXT 320S IN NETWORK:##
[CONFIGURE]
Swipe the ENTER marker to initiate the search. The X40 controller will perform an incremental search for
available RXT-320s starting with Modbus address 1 (decimal). The search will continue until
Modbus address 143 is reached or until it is terminated by swiping the ENTER marker which will save
the RXT-320s found up to that point. A swipe of the PROG marker while in search mode will cancel the
search and will not save any RXT-320s found up to that point.
7.3.4
Set RF Silence and RF Sleep (Wireless Function Only)
The SET RF SILENCE AND RF SLEEP menu allows the user to initiate radio silence over the whole
network. Radio silence terminates communication between all the RXT-320 transceivers in the network.
This menu also allows the user to initiate RF sleep for a set amount of time. This sleep function lets the
X40 controller broadcast a sleep command to all the RXT-320 transceivers in the network and is used as a
power saving feature. Upon entering this menu, the LCD will display:
RF SILENCE AND SLEEP
Rev. 2.1

RF SLEEP:
##:##
SLEEP:XXX
Swipe the magnet over the markers of the up or down arrows to move the arrow prompt to the desired
location. A swipe over the ENTER marker for RF SILENCE and SLEEP will toggle the value between ON
and OFF. For the sleep timer, a swipe over the ENTER marker will select the function indicated by the
arrow prompt and the value can be changed by swiping over the markers of the up or down arrows.
Another swipe over the ENTER marker will save the selected value. The sleep timer has a range from 0
5 minutes and is set in minutes and seconds.
RF Silence is used to prevent the radios from possibly interfering with other RF devices on site (such as
remote detonators). Once set to ON, it will stay on until the user turns it OFF. In RF silence, the sensors
are not monitored and no alarms can be activated. When sleep is enabled, the sensors are each polled once,
and then the wireless transceivers are turned off for the sleep period. Once the sleep period expires, the
transceivers are turned back on and the sensors are polled once more. This cycle repeats indefinitely. The
sensors are not updated and the alarms are not activated while the wireless network is asleep. The longer
the sleep time, the longer the possible delay between alarm conditions occurring and the alarms being
activated. However, a longer sleep period will increase the battery run time.
7.3.5
Set COMM Baud Rates
The SET COMM BAUD RATES menu displays the current baud rate settings for COMM1 (master) and
COMM2 (slave). Upon entering this menu, the LCD will display:
SET COMM BAUD RATES:
COMM1 BAUD RATE:9600
COMM2 BAUD RATE:9600
NOTE: The value shown is pre-configured to 9600 and should not be altered unless directed
to do so by Detcon Factory Personnel.
7.3.6
Set Modbus Timeouts
The SET MODBUS TIMEOUTS menu allows the user to set the response timeout for Modbus
communications and the inter-poll delay. Upon entering this menu, the LCD will display:
SET MODBUS TIMEOUTS:
RESPONSE TIMEOUT:###
INTERPOLL DELAY:###
Response timeout is the amount of time in milliseconds the X40 controller will wait for a sensor to respond
to a poll request. Ten missed poll responses will result in the sensor being declared in COMM ERR. Interpoll delay is the amount of time in milliseconds the X40 will wait after receiving a poll response from one
sensor before it polls the next sensor. The range of values for the response timeout is 100-1000
milliseconds and 10-255 milliseconds for the inter-poll delay. The recommended value for the response
timeout is 500 and 150 for the inter-poll delay.

Set Channel Data
The SETUP CHANNEL DATA menu allows configuration of each channel represented by its assigned
sensor or device. When a sensor or device is being added to the controller, its information will need to be
added or modified in this menu. The information to be configured is the SLAVE ID, DEVICE TYPE,
ANALOG INPUT, DECIMAL POINT, RANGE, TYPE and RL4 BANK. Upon entering this menu, the
LCD will display:
CHANNEL 1 DATA:
SLAVE ID:##
DEVICE TYPE:XXX
ANALOG INPUT:#
DECIMAL POINT:#
RANGE:#####
TYPE:XXXXXXXXX
RL4 BANK:XXX
A flashing cursor will appear on SLAVE ID. Swiping the magnet over the markers of the up or down
arrows will move the flashing cursor to the desired function. A swipe over the ENTER marker will select
the function indicated by the flashing cursor and the value can be changed by swiping over the markers of
the up or down arrows. Another swipe over the ENTER marker will save the selected value and return to
the flashing cursor.
The SLAVE ID is the Modbus address in hex of the sensor or device being assigned to the indicated
channel. This will be a Modbus slave device to the X40 controller.
NOTE: For Detcon wireless DM-100 sensors only, the SLAVE ID will be the Modbus
address of its RXT-320 transceiver.
The DEVICE TYPE values available are 100, 700, 600, DA4/DI4 or RXT-320. The values of 100, 600 and
700 correspond to Detcon serial sensor models. The DA4/DI4 value represents analog sensors. The RXT320 value represents Detcons wireless transceiver when its analog inputs are used. Choose the appropriate
value corresponding the sensor or device being assigned to the indicated channel.
The ANALOG INPUT is only available for analog sensors and devices. Serial sensors do not use this field
and the field will only be active for DEVICE TYPE values of DA4/DI4 or RXT-320. For analog sensors
(DA4/DI4), the available value is 1, 2, 3 or 4 which corresponds to the input position on the DA-4/DI-4
module the sensor will be connected to (DA-4/DI-4 modules support up to four 4-20mA inputs). For
wireless transceivers (RXT-320), the available value is 1 or 2 which corresponds to the input position of the
transceiver the sensor will be connected to (RXT-320 transceivers support up to two 4-20mA inputs).
The DECIMAL POINT value can be 0, 1 or 2. It corresponds to the number of digits displayed to the right
of the decimal point of the gas concentration value displayed. Typically, if the sensor range is less than 10,
this value will be 2. If the sensor range is between 10 and 25, then this value will usually be 1. The
DECIMAL POINT value should be 0 if the sensor range is greater than 25.
The RANGE value can be selected from 1-10,000 and corresponds to the gas range value of the sensor.
NOTE: If the range is changed, the alarm levels will have to be reset!
The TYPE value is an alphanumeric string of nine characters and corresponds to the tag that is displayed
with the gas concentration value. This field is normally used to define the gas concentration units and the
gas type. When changing this value, the first alphanumeric character to be modified will be indicated by an
underscore and can be changed by swiping the magnet over the markers of the up or down arrows. A swipe
over the ENTER marker will select the displayed value and the next character to be changed will be
indicated by the underscore. Follow these same steps to input all nine characters. The last swipe over the
ENTER marker will return to the flashing cursor.

Set Channel Alarms
The SET CHANNEL ALARMS menu allows configuration of each channels alarms. The information to
be configured is the ALM1 LEVEL, ALM1 ASCENDING, ALM2 LEVEL, ALM2 ASCENDING, ALM3
LEVEL and ALM3 ASCENDING. Upon entering this menu, the LCD will display:
CHANNEL 1 ALARMS:
ALM2 LEVEL:
##
ALM2 ASCENDING: X
ALM3 LEVEL:
##
ALM3 ASCENDING: X
ALM1 LEVEL:
##
ALM1 ASCENDING: X
A flashing cursor will appear on ALM1 LEVEL. Swiping the magnet over the markers of the up or down
arrows will move the flashing cursor to the desired function. A swipe over the ENTER marker will select
the function indicated by the flashing cursor and the value can be changed by swiping over the markers of
the up or down arrows. Another swipe of the ENTER marker will save the selected value and return to the
flashing cursor.
All sensors have three alarm settings. These are labeled ALM1, ALM2, and ALM3 for Alarm 1,
Alarm 2, and Alarm 3 respectively. The alarm level values are pre-determined by the user and set for each
sensor depending on the range. These values represent the alarm level set points and can be entered in 5%
increments of the full-scale range selected for that channel.
The alarm relays can also be configured for ascending or descending mode. In ascending mode the relay
will be activated when the concentration is above the alarm threshold. The alarm relays can also be
activated in descending mode. In this mode, the alarm relays will activate when the concentration is below
the alarm threshold. Typically alarms are ascending, with the exception of oxygen sensors. The alarm
ascending level can be either Y (Yes) or N (No).
If there is more than one channel, a swipe of the down arrow marker while the flashing cursor is on ALM3
ASCENDING will scroll the display to the next channel allowing for its configuration. To return to the
previous channel, a swipe of the up arrow marker should be performed while the flashing cursor is on
ALM1 LEVEL.
NOTE: If there is no intention of using a gas alarm relay, a setting of 0 will make it inactive.
NOTE: Any channels that are in alarm or fault will not display the device tag on the Main
Display.
NOTE: If the channel range is changed, then the alarm set points must be re-entered!
7.3.9

7.3.14 RF Link Quality and Battery Status (Wireless Function Only)

The RF LINK QUALITY AND BATTERY STATUS menu displays the network RF link quality between
the RXT-320 transceiver of the X40 controller and of the RXT-320 transceivers of the wireless sensors
configured to the X40 controller. This menu also displays the battery life of the Smart Battery Packs
powering the RXT-320s of the wireless sensors. Upon entering this menu, the LCD will display:
F0> -----------------01> RF LINK:##%
BATTERY:DC POWER
BATTERY:##D ##H ##M
The first line corresponds to the information of the X40 controllers RXT-320 transceiver (indicated by the
transceivers Modbus address F0) and will only show the BATTERY status since there is no link
quality available. The other lines correspond to the RXT-320 transceiver information of the slave devices
controlled by the X40 on the network. Each transceiver available will be identified by its Modbus
address followed by the RF LINK value and BATTERY status. The RF LINK value is a percentage
representing the RF link quality between the controllers RXT-320 transceiver and the slave device RXT320 transceiver. The BATTERY status will be either DC POWER or ##D ##H ##M where DC POWER
indicates the transceiver is powered by a DC power supply other than a Smart Battery Pack. The ##D ##H
##M value corresponds to the days, hours and minutes of life remaining for the Smart Battery Pack
connected to the slave devices transceiver. The battery life is only displayed in D/H/M when the
remaining life is less than 45 days. If it is more than 45 days, it is displayed as a percentage of battery life
remaining. Refer to Section 7.3.9 for setting thresholds that triggers a low battery fault and alerts the user
of a low battery state.
NOTE: While in the RF LINK QUALITY AND BATTERY STATUS menu, the controller
performs a complete Modbus poll cycle and automatically times out of the menu and returns
to Main Menu mode after 60 seconds of inactivity.
7.3.15 System Diagnostics

The SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS menu performs function tests for the LCD display, the panel LEDs, the
external reset switch, the relays and Modbus interface. Upon entering this menu, the X40 controller will
automatically initiate a function test that displays every pixel of the 4 line, 40 character LCD display. The
controller then performs a function test of the LED drivers by activating all four LEDs. After the LED
test, the controller will initiate a test for the external reset switch which lets the user know when the reset
switch is pressed. The user will be prompted to press (swipe) enter key (marker) to continue which will
initiate the relay driver test and the controller will then reset all the relays and turn on the alarm 1 relay.
The user will be prompted to press (swipe) any key (marker) which will turn on the alarm 2 relay. The
user will be prompted again to press any key and the alarm 3 relay will be turned on. The user will be
prompted again to press any key and the fault relay will be turned on. The user will be prompted again to
press any key and all the relays will be reset. The user will then be prompted to connect COMM1
(master) to COMM2 (slave) for a Modbus loop back test and press any key to continue. This will
initiate test 1 of 4 which performs a Modbus communication test at 4800 baud rate. The test will
perform 127 iterations and indicate the number of errors received if any. The user has the option to abort
the test at any time by pressing any key. Once test 1 is complete or has been aborted by the user, test 2 of
4 will initiate automatically and perform 127 iterations of the Modbus communication test at 9600 baud
rate. Test 3 of 4 will follow at 19200 baud rate and finally test 4 of 4 will be performed at 38400 baud rate.
All four tests can be terminated at any time by the user. When these tests are completed the display will
revert back to the SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS menu.

7.3.18 View TWA & Peak

The VIEW TWA & PEAK menu allows the user to view the recorded time weighted average (TWA) and
peak readings for each channel represented by its assigned gas sensor. To use this menu function, a secure
digital (SD) memory card must be installed in the SD slot of the X40 controller board (J9). The data is
recorded on the SD card with the date, time, channel number, TWA and peak readings every time the
controller polls a sensor. Upon entering this menu, the user can view the data recorded from the SD card
and is displayed as:
<File Name>:
MM/DD/YY, HH:MM:SS, Channel #, TWA #, PEAK #
Example:
TWA_P08.CSV:
05/17/11,23:00:09,17, 51, 100
The sensor readings are continuously logged to the SD card. This data can also be viewed by removing the
SD card and inserting it in a laptop using the Detcon Log File Viewer application. Refer to the Detcon Log
File Viewer instruction manual for more information.

Modbus Communications
The X40 controller features a Modbus compatible communications protocol and is addressable by a
PLC, PC/HMI, DCS or other Modbus RTU master-polling devices. Communication is accomplished by
two wire half duplex RS-485, 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, through the controllers primary
port (COMM1).
A Modbus RTU master device up to 4000 feet away can theoretically poll up to 64 different X40
controllers. This number may not be realistic in harsh environments where noise and/or wiring conditions
would make it impractical to place so many devices on the same pair of wires. If multiple controllers are
being used on a single Modbus network, each controller must be set to a different device address.

9.1 Optional Remote Alarm Reset/Acknowledge Switch

Model X40 controllers are designed for an optional Remote Alarm Reset/Acknowledge Switch. This
enables the user to reset or acknowledge alarms without having to open the X40 enclosure. The Reset
Switch is a momentary normally open push button type switch and will typically be mounted on the bottom
or side of the NEMA 4X enclosure. For the other enclosure types, the switch will have to be mounted
externally such as in the bottom of a J-Box if one is available. Connect the switch to the terminals of the
terminal block labeled REMOTE RESET for the N1P and N4X controllers (See Figure 26) For the N7
controller, connect the switch to the terminals SW on connector J7 (See Figure 27) Once installed,
pushing the switch will execute the reset/acknowledge function.

9.2 Wireless Option (RXT-320)

The Model X40 controller offers a wireless option that is designed to take Modbus communication
between the controller and other devices to a wireless platform. This option takes local Modbus
communication, and using a wireless network of transceivers, broadcasts this information throughout a
wireless network platform, creating a seamless network of Modbus devices that need not be physically
connected in any way.
The wireless function of the X40 Controller is made possible by Detcons RXT-320 wireless transceiver.
This transceiver transmits signal data such as analog 4-20mA DC or serial Modbus and can support up to
32 devices. It operates at 2.4GHz and conforms to non-licensed radio frequency appliance usage around
the world. Wireless network integrity and security is accomplished using direct sequence spread spectrum
wireless mesh technology. Wireless applications can be as simple as a single field device communicating
with a host controller or any number of field devices forming a network of subscribers. Each device in the
network is assigned a Network ID and a Modbus address. Processing power is based in a designated
Modbus master while every slave device in the network is capable of functioning as a router and repeater
for all other devices in the network. This means that subscribers can hop through neighboring devices to
communicate with each other thereby widening network access points. This unique and innovative
technology is designed to create a robust network that automatically routes around congestion and line-ofModel X40 Instruction Manual

sight obstacles while improving throughput as subscriber device density increases. Refer to the RXT-320s
instruction manual for more detailed information.
The Model X40 controller can communicate wirelessly with up to 32 gas detection sensors. This is
accomplished by connecting an RXT-320 to the Modbus master port on the X40. The Model X40 also
offers the option to wirelessly connect an RD-64X remote display. This is accomplished by connecting an
RXT-320 to the Modbus slave port of the X40 and a second RXT-320 to the RD-64X.
9.2.1
RXT-320 Mounting
The RXT-320 wireless transceiver for the X40 controller comes mounted on a J-Box (condulet) which can
be remotely mounted on a pole near the controller (See Figure 28). Remote separation distances of up to
15 feet are possible with the recommended cable.

NOTE: It is highly recommended to install the cable inside rigid metal conduit to eliminate
potential EMI and RFI interference and to maintain a Class I Division I rating.
NOTE: A 6-32 or 8-32 threaded exterior ground point is provided on most junction boxes for
an external ground. If the transceiver assembly is not mechanically grounded, an external
ground strap must be used to ensure that the transceiver is electrically grounded.
Detcon offers an optional mounting plate that can be used for mounting the RXT-320 wireless assembly to
the pole. If ordered with this option, secure the wireless transceiver assembly to the mounting plate using
two of the four 3/8 diameter holes located on the top face of the mounting plate (If not already done so
from the factory). The mounting plate can then be mounted to a pole with two U-Bolts secured through the
7/16 holes of the mounting plates base (See Figure 29).

Figure 29 RXT-320 Wireless Assembly w/Mounting Plate Dimensions
NOTE: Proper electrical installation of the RXT-320 transceiver assembly is critical for
conformance to Electrical Codes and to avoid damage due to water leakage. A conduit seal is
typically required to be located within 18" of the transceiver assembly if a conduit run is
required. Crouse Hinds type EYS2, EYD2 or equivalent are suitable for this purpose.
NOTE: Any unused ports should be blocked with suitable male NPT plugs. Detcon
supplies one NPT male plug with each J-box enclosure. If connections are other than
NPT, use an appropriate male plug of like construction material.
NOTE: Use suitable cord connectors (cable glands) for cable entering the X40 controller or
the transceivers J-Box.
NOTE: The Detcon Warranty does not cover water damage resulting from water leaking into
the enclosure.
9.2.2
RXT-320 Wiring
If the RXT-320 transceiver does not come pre-wired from the Detcon factory, it will require four conductor
connections for the power supply and Modbus interface. DC power is provided to the transceiver by the
controllers 24VDC power supply or a Detcon SmartWireless battery pack. The RS-485 interface is
accomplished by connecting the transceiver assembly to the controllers master and/or slave RS-485
Modbus interface. Connect four wires of a power & Modbus capable cable (Belden P/N 1502P is
recommended) to the Modbus TB2 DIN rail mounted terminal block. Connect the other end of the cable
to the J2 connector of the Terminal Board located inside the J-Box of the transceiver (See Figure 30, Figure
31, Figure 33, and Figure 34).
