Detcon Model X40 is a low power alarm and control system designed to monitor multiple gas detection sensors and 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 customised and expanded based on individual application needs using the 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 Model X40-32 provides power for up to 32 field devices and can house up to 12 4-channel I/O modules. The 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). The 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 magnet and offers advanced technology with intuitive, embedded intelligence. The control system displays real-time readings and field device status on a backlit LCD screen. The screen displays the alarm status and current reading (i.e., channel number, gas type, and gas concentration) for up to eight field devices simultaneously.
The display is sequential and during regular 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 RXT-320 SmartWireless transceivers. Enclosure options include NEMA 4X, NEMA 1 panel mount, and NEMA 7.
