1. Introduction
1.1. Purpose
Revision 3 OneWireless XYR 6000 ISA100.11a Compliant Pressure Transmitter User's Manual 1
March 2012
1. Introduction
1.1 Purpose
This manual describes the Honeywell OneWireless XYR 6000 Pressure Transmitter function, operation
and maintenance.
1.2 Scope
The manual includes:
 Details of topics that relate uniquely to the Honeywell XYR 6000 Pressure Transmitter,
 This manual does not cover installation, mounting, or wiring. See XYR 6000 Transmitter Quick Start
Guide (document 34-XY-25-21).
1.3 OneWireless network overview
OneWireless is an all digital, serial, two-way communication mesh network that interconnects industrial
field sensors to a central system.
OneWireless has defined standards to which field devices and operator stations communicate with one
another. The communications protocol is built as an "open system" to allow all field devices and
equipment that are built to OneWireless standard to be integrated into a system, regardless of the device
manufacturer. This interoperability of devices using OneWireless technology is to become an industry
standard for automation systems.
1.4 About the transmitter
The XYR 6000 Pressure Transmitter is furnished with an ISA100.11a-compliant wireless interface to
operate in a compatible distributed ISA100.11a wireless system. The transmitter will interoperate with
any ISA100.11a wireless network.
The transmitter includes
ISA100.11a-compliant electronics for operating in a 2.4GHz wireless network. It
features function block architecture and instantiable input channels.
The XYR 6000 Pressure Transmitter comes in a variety of models for measurement applications involving
one of these basic types of pressure:
 Differential pressure,
 Gauge pressure,
 Absolute pressure.
The transmitter measures the process pressure and transmits the measured value as a digital output signal
in user-configured engineering units. Its major components are an electronics housing and a meter body as
shown in Figure 1-1 (a typical differential pressure model transmitter).
The
XYR 6000 transmits its output in a digital OneWireless protocol format for direct digital
communications with systems.
The Process Variable (PV) is available for monitoring and alarm purposes. Available PV update rates: 1, 5,
10, 30 seconds and are set on the OneWireless User Interface. Slower update rates extend battery life. The
meter body temperature is also available as a secondary variable for monitoring. Figure 1-1 shows a block

ag
ram of the XYR 6000 Pressure transmitter’s operating functions.
