4 Introduction
The Sensepoint XCD RFD transmitter allows the user to either directly or remotely mount
a flammable gas sensor from the Sensepoint XCD. See sensor information in section
4.2. The remote sensor can be located up to 30 meters (100 feet) from the transmitter.
The transmitter features a display and three programmable relays for controlling external
equipment e.g. alarms, sirens, valves or switches. The transmitter provides an industry
standard 3-wire, 4-20mA source or sink output for connection to a dedicated gas detection
control system or PLC.
