ULTIMA X5000 Gas Monitor Safety Manual 5
US
1. Introduction
The MSA ULTIMA X5000 Gas Monitor, hereafter also called the device, is designed to monitor the
environment where mounted and alert the user to potentially dangerous levels of target gas. The
ULTIMA X5000 uses various detection methods, depending on the gas of interest. Detection methods
include electrochemical, infrared, catalytic bead or other technologies.
The ULTIMA X5000 is capable of communicating with and displaying information for two sensors at a time.
The device generates two discrete analog outputs; one for each sensor connected to the transmitter. Each
analog output is a standard 4 to 20 mA sourcing output. The analog output associated with Sensor 1 has
HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) communication encoded on it. If two sensors are
connected, the HART communication on output 1 carries information for both sensors.
Relays and other communication protocols are available as an option.
The ULTIMA X5000 is suitable for installation in hazardous locations. It is intended for integration with a
control system that can alert operations personnel to the presence of a gas alarm. The ULTIMA X5000
Gas Monitor is regarded as Type B field device per IEC 61508.
