Installation Warnings - Read Before Installation

WARNING! 

•

Refer to manual addendum (P/N 10182779) for certification information and additional safety information before installation and operation.

•

When utilizing the P+F Wireless HART Bullet accessory, read and understand the quick start guides (P/N 10218978 and 10218979) and P+F Wireless HART Bullet instruction manual (WHA-BLT-F9D0-N-A0-*) before installing and using. The P+F Wireless HART Bullet shall be installed as close to the X5000 transmitter, junction box or JB5000 as possible.

•

Some digital sensors are provided in a fritless sensor housing. The fritless sensor housing is labeled as Div 2 or Zone 2 and is approved for Div 2 or Zone 2 installations only. The protection method is Non-incendive or Type n respectively. Ensure all components are approved for the wiring method being used and in accordance with the National Electrical Code of the country of use, any applicable local regulations, this manual and the addendum to the manual.

•

As part of the product certification, it was verified that optional communication functions of this gas detection instrument while operating at the maximum transaction rate do not adversely affect the gas detection operation and functions of the instrument. The product certification, however, does not include or imply approval of the SafeSwap feature, communications protocol or functions provided by the software of this instrument or of the communications apparatus and software connected to this instrument.

•

Follow the warnings below when removing or replacing sensors. Reference Figure 3 for component overview.

○

Never remove or replace a sensor body assembly or an Ultima XIR PLUS while under power or when explosive hazards are present.

○

Confirm that the area is free of explosive hazards before removing or replacing an XCell Sensor under power.

○

To remove an XCell Sensor, unscrew XCell Sensor three full turns, wait 10 seconds, and then remove the XCell Sensor completely.

•

Plug all unused conduit entries with a suitably certified blanking/stopping plug.

•

Do not paint the device. Avoid painting in areas where the ULTIMA X5000 and remote sensor junction box are located. If painting is required in an area where an ULTIMA X5000 or remote sensor has been installed, exercise caution to ensure paint is not deposited on the sensor inlet fitting. Paint solvents can also cause an alarm condition to occur or potentially poison electrochemical sensors.

•

Protect the device from extreme vibration.

•

Do not mount the sensing head in direct sunlight without a sunshield (P/N 10180254).

•

The ULTIMA XIR PLUS Sensor contains no user- or field-serviceable parts and must be returned to the factory for repair. Any attempt to open the sensor will damage the unit and void the warranty.

•

If the HCN sensor is exposed to continuous levels of HCN gas, this can result in erroneously low gas readings. This can occur in as little as 30 minutes of exposure. Do not operate in the presence of continuous low level background HCN gas. Use latching alarms to avoid an erroneous alarm clearance.

•

Sensor sensitivity will recover over the course of several hours once HCN gas is removed. Use an independent instrument to confirm the absense of HCN gas and allow the sensor to return to zero prior to restarting operations.

•

Use of some accessories are not covered under the performance approval. Contact MSA for details.

Failure to follow this warning can result in serious personal injury or death.
