l Do not attempt to modify the product in any way from the manufacturers design or specification.
Warranty will be void and malfunction of the gas detector may result.
l Use only genuine spare parts and accessories with VESDA Sensepoint XCL. Malfunction may result if
non-standard parts are used.
VESDA Sensepoint XCL is suitable for ordinary locations only and must not be installed in hazardous
locations. Installation must be in accordance with the recognized standards of the appropriate authority in the
country concerned. For Europe, see EN60079-14, EN60079-29-2, and EN61241-14. For installations in North
America, the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) should be strictly observed. All the appropriate local and
national regulations should be observed.
2.2 Installation Layout
1. Gas detection system using Modbus RTU. Detectors are wired in a daisy chain on a single cable run.
2. Gas detector system using analog current loop principle. Each detector is individually wired to the
controller (i.e. Honeywell Analytics “Touchpoint™ Plus” controller) on its own cable.
Note: Additional information on “Touchpoint™ Plus” controller (Data Sheets, User Manuals,
Specifications & Quick Start Guide) can be downloaded from Honeywell Analytics website
www.honeywellanalytics.com.
35563_02 7
2.3 Power Cable Specification

VESDA Sensepoint XCL requires a power supply from the controller of specified supply voltage range in
section "1.7 Specifications". Ensure that a minimum supply voltage is measured at the VESDA Sensepoint
XCL, taking into account voltage drops due to cable resistance.
V+ detector V+ controller
VESDA
Sensepoint V detector V controller Controller
XCL
Field Cable (L)
V- detector V- controller
The maximum loop resistance (Rloop max ) in the field cable is calculated as follows:
Rloop max = (Vcontroller − Vdetector min ) ÷ Idetector max
Idetector max = Wdetector max ÷ Vdetector min
Example:
The controller is supplying a nominal 24 V DC (Vcontroller), and the minimum allowable voltage of VESDA
Sensepoint XCL is 11 V DC (Vdetector min). Therefore, the maximum allowable voltage drop across the cable
between the controller and the detector is Vcontroller − Vdetector min = 13 V DC.
Power consumption of the detector is maximum 2.3 W (W detector max ). The maximum current required to drive
the VESDA Sensepoint XCL at the minimum voltage is 2.3 W ÷ 11 V DC = 209.1 mA (Idetector max ). So the
maximum field cable loop resistance (Rloop max ) is 13 V DC ÷ 0.2091 = 62 Ω. Therefore, the maximum cable
length for any given cable type can be found by dividing the maximum allowable cable resistance per core by
the cable resistance provided by the cable manufacturer.
The following table shows the typical maximum cable distances for our example.
Cable size (cross Typical cable resistance Maximum cable length
sectional areal) (L)
0.5 mm2 (20 AWG1) 36.8 Ω/km 842 m
1.0 mm2 (17 AWG) 19.5 Ω/km 1589 m
1.5 mm2 (16 AWG) 12.7 Ω/km 2440 m

1 mA Fault
2/4 mA Inhibit
4-20 mA 0 to 100% Full Scale
>21 mA Over range
Notes: The load resistance of the controller must be between 33 Ω and 250 Ω. When the mA output is not
being used, a 33 Ω, 0.125 W load resistor should be connected between terminal 3 (4–20 mA) and
terminal 2 (0 V) for source mode or terminal 1 (+24 V DC) for sink mode. Failure to do so will cause
the unit to enter a fault condition.
When operating the detector from an AC power supply, the current loop (mA) wiring should be
connected between terminals 3 (4-20 mA) and 4 (COM).

14 www.xtralis.com
5. Replace the terminal blocks in their correct positions.
2.9 Ground Connections
Effective grounding is crucial to ensure stable Modbus communications and to limit the effects of radio
frequency interference. Ground points are provided inside the back box. In order to prevent false readings or
alarms as a result of ground loops, ensure that the shield of all cables are grounded at a single point, preferably
at the controller. Consideration should also be given to how conduit, glands and the internal earth plate are
also grounded.
Note: Any earth regime must avoid earth loops.
35563_02 15
2.10 Securing the Detector Module and Flow Cap

1. Position the detector module with Flow Cap onto the back box ensuring that the status indicator is in the
top left-hand corner when viewed from the front. Tighten the four retaining screws using a No. 2 Phillips
screwdriver to secure.
CAUTION:
Do not over-tighten the screws. If required, the current sink/source selection switch can be set at this
point.
2. Where used, tighten the sealing nut of the cable gland to secure the cable.
16 www.xtralis.com
2.11 Connecting to Pipe Network

1. Take note of pipe flow direction and align with arrow on VESDA Sensepoint XCL Flow Cap.
2. Create a vertical offset in the pipe run to direct flow to the Flow Cap using 4x60° elbows (supplied) as
shown below. Do not glue the pipes to the Flow Cap.
3. Where VESDA Sensepoint XCL is mounted close to the smoke detector ensure a 0.5m (1.64ft) minimum
linear pipe length between detectors.
4. Where VESDA Sensepoint XCL is mounted adjacent to pipes, introduce a vertical & horizontal offset
in the pipe run using the 4x60° elbows (supplied) as shown below:
35563_02 17
2.12 Installation Practices

1. Ensure arrow on VESDA Sensepoint XCL Flow Cap is aligned to pipe flow.
2. Install in-line components (particulate filter / water trap) upstream VESDA Sensepoint XCL. With water
trap installation, ensure to slope installation pipe toward water trap.
3. Ensure 0.5m (1.65ft) linear pipe length to ASD inlet when mounting VESDA Sensepoint XCL close to
ASD.
4. Follow the below practices for the flow monitoring of VESDA Sensepoint XCL upstream holes:
a. Do not allocate sample holes downstream VESDA Sensepoint XCL (recommended).
b. If downstream sample holes are required, ASD flow fault threshold is set to the difference in flow
values of the following ASPIRE design scenarios (i) & (ii):
i. Upstream sample holes open, i.e. Pipe flow = 50L/min (ASD flow normalized 100%)
Pipe Flow
VESDA Sensepoint XCL
ii. Upstream sample holes blocked (2 sample holes), i.e. Pipe flow = 40L/min
Pipe Flow
VESDA Sensepoint XCL
ASD Low Flow Fault threshold = 80% (Difference between pipe flow, 50 - 40 = 10L/min, 20% flow loss).
Notes: l VESDA Sensepoint XCL impedance is approximated with x3 ECO detectors in ASPIRE
designs.
l Where VESDA Sensepoint XCL is sampling sticky gases i.e. NO2, NH3, H2S, ensure distance
from VESDA Sensepoint XCL detector to last sampling hole is:
PVC pipes: ≤ 40m
CPVC and ABS pipes: ≤ 20m
2.13 Setting Alarm Thresholds

The VESDA Sensepoint XCL – Large Bore gas detector provides multiple hole (multi-point) gas sampling.
Setting the appropriate detector alarm level will depend on the following parameters:
1. Target gas concentration
2. Number of sample holes upstream the detector
3. Flow contribution of upstream holes
4. Detector lowest alarm level
Refer to Application Note (Doc. No. 35616) and Calculator (Doc. No. 35758) for guideline to set VESDA
Sensepoint XCL – Large Bore gas detectors alarm levels.
18 www.xtralis.com

3.2 Status Indicator

There is a status indicator on the face of the gas detector. The operating state of the detector is indicated by
one of four colors, either steady or flashing.
Normal The indicator is on steady green when the

concentration of the target gas is within normal range.
Note: Using the Sensepoint App, you can change
how the green indicator behaves during
normal operation. Select between steady
green (default setting), confidence flash
every 20 seconds or off.
Warning The indicator alternatively flashes green and yellow
when the gas detector is in a warning state.
Fault The indicator flashes yellow when the gas detector is
in a fault state.
Inhibited The indicator is on steady yellow when the user has
placed the detector into the inhibit state for
maintenance or repair.
Alarm The indicator flashes red when the gas concentration
is beyond the alarm-level threshold.
Out-of-range The indicator rapidly flashes red when the gas
alarm concentration is beyond the full scale deflection of the
detector.
Bluetooth pairing The indicator flashes blue when Bluetooth pairing
between the gas detector and a smart device is in
progress.

3.3 Target Gas Selection (flammable catalytic versions

only)
The target flammable (combustible) gas of the VESDA Sensepoint XCL can be changed using the Sensepoint
App where the user can select from a range of flammable gases. Refer to the Sensepoint App User Manual
Doc. No. 35245 for full details on how to do this.
Note: Before changing the target gas a zero calibration should be performed in clean air.
The VESDA Sensepoint XCL gas detector operates on a Star Rating system where gases are grouped
depending on the response of the sensor to them. The higher the star rating, the more responsive the sensor is
to the gas. The table below shows the Star Ratings for a range of gases.
Gas Equivalent Star Rating
Acetone 2*
Ammonia 6*
Benzene 2*
Butanone 2*
Butane 3*
Butyl acetate 1*
Cyclohexane 1*
Cyclohexanone <1*
Diethyl ether 2*
Ethane 4*

l To increase the output voltage: Briefly press the UP button. Pressing once increases by 0.01 V. To
increase by 0.1 V, press and hold the button.
l To decrease the output voltage: Briefly press the DOWN button. Pressing once decreases by 0.01 V.
To decrease by 0.1 V, press and hold the button.
l To move to the next stage: Press and hold the UP button for 2 seconds. If a change has been made, it
is saved automatically before proceeding to the next stage.
l To escape and discard all changes: This escape function can be used at any time during the
procedures detailed in the following sections. Press and hold the DOWN button for 5 seconds.
4.2 Maintenance Status Indicator

There is another indicator on the rear of the detector module for easier maintenance. When performing
maintenance, such as calibration or sensor replacement, using the control buttons, refer to the indicator to
determine the status of the detector.
Inhibit mode
While in inhibit mode, the indicator is on steady yellow .
Sensor replacement mode
While in sensor replacement mode, the indicator slowly flashes yellow . When in warm-up, the indicator is
on steady yellow .
Zero calibration
During zero calibration, the indicator flashes long yellow followed by two short yellow flashes . First
short yellow flash indicates zero status and second flash indicates span status. The indicator flashes long
yellow followed by short green flash and short yellow flash when the zero calibration is successfully
completed, but flashes long yellow followed by short red flash and short yellow flash if it fails.
35563_02 23
Span calibration
During span calibration, the indicator flashes yellow . The indicator flashes green with two short pauses
when the span calibration is successfully completed, but flashes red with two short pauses if it fails.
Calibration gas purge
While the calibration gas is purged, the indicator is on steady yellow .
Cancel
When a task is cancelled, the indicator flashes yellow with three short pauses.
4.3 Calibration
The following steps describe the calibration of VESDA Sensepoint XCL detector using the Sensepoint App
(for details refer to section “5 Sensepoint App”):
1. Connect VESDA Sensepoint XCL detector to the Sensepoint App and set “Purge Time” to 180 sec.
2. Power OFF the smoke detector or switch to standby mode.
3. Remove the (red) Calibration Port plug and connect to calibration gas cylinder having a fixed flow
regulator (FFR) rated at 0.5 L/min1. Refer to the regulator manufacturer for instructions on how to start
and stop the gas flow from the cylinder.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions on the Sensepoint App for Calibration:

a. Zero calibration: Expose VESDA Sensepoint XCL to ambient air – if there is doubt of the quality of
the ambient air, use a cylinder with clean air.
b. Span calibration: Expose VESDA Sensepoint XCL to the calibration gas. Where greatest accuracy
is required, the gas concentration should be around the alarm set point or 50% of the detector range.
If at the end of the purge cycle detector reading does not return to zero, repeat calibration with
detector disconnected from the pipe.
5. Following calibration replace the (red) Calibration Port plug.
6. Power ON the smoke detector or revert to normal mode.
CAUTION:
Always use a gas cylinder that is within its expiration date.
This section describes how to perform calibration using the control buttons of the VESDA Sensepoint XCL
detector. Before starting calibration, make sure that the VESDA Sensepoint XCL detector is powered ON.
1. Remove the detector module from the back box.
2. Activate inhibit mode by pressing and holding the UP button for 2 seconds. Make sure that the yellow
indicator is on.
3. Connect the positive probe of a voltmeter to the positive terminal, and connect the negative probe to the
negative terminal of the output voltage monitor.
1For example: FFR Calgas 715 Regulator "www.calgaz.com/pages/700-series-regulator"
24 www.xtralis.com
4. Perform zero calibration.

a. Hold the UP button for 2 seconds.
b. If there is any doubt of the quality of the ambient air, connect a cylinder of fresh air to the detector.
c. Apply fresh air to the detector, and wait for a few minutes until the reading is stable.
d. Using the UP and DOWN buttons, adjust the output voltage so that the voltmeter is reading slightly
above zero, and then decrease the reading slowly so that it reads zero.
e. When the output voltage is adjusted close to zero, accept the zero calibration by holding UP button
for 2 seconds.
5. If a span calibration is required, after successful zero calibration it will move to span calibration
automatically. If a span calibration is not required, exit from calibration by holding DOWN button for 5
seconds. This will cancel a span calibration while zero calibration result sustains.
a. Hold UP button for 2 seconds.
b. Connect a cylinder of span gas to the detector. Where the greatest accuracy is required, the cylinder
concentration should be usually around the alarm set point or 50% of the range of the detector.
c. Apply the span gas to the detector, and wait for a few minutes until the reading is stable.
d. Using the UP and DOWN buttons, adjust the output voltage until it reaches the target value. Use the
formula below to calculate what the correct voltage should be:
Vout = Gas concentration ÷ detector range
For example, if you are applying 45% LEL gas with a 100% LEL detector range, you would need to adjust
the voltage output so that the reading on the voltmeter shows: 45 ÷ 100 = 0.45 V.
e. When the output voltage is adjusted close to target gas concentration, accept the span calibration by
holding UP button for 2 seconds.
6. Purge the gas sensor.
a. Hold the UP button for 2 seconds.
b. Remove the span gas from the detector and make sure that the reading voltage out returns to zero. If
there is any doubt that the detector is not in clean air, apply cylinder air. Otherwise, an alarm may
occur.
7. Use the cancel function to return to normal monitoring mode.
8. Assemble the detector module to the back box.
Note: Perform calibration (i) after installation, (ii) after sensor cover or gas sensor replacement, (iii) every
6 months (strongly recommended), (iv) when detector fails bump test. See section “4.8
Troubleshooting”.
35563_02 25
4.4 Bump Test

1. Connect VESDA Sensepoint XCL detector to the Sensepoint App.
2. Power OFF the smoke detector or switch to standby mode.
3. Remove the (red) Calibration Port plug and connect to bump test gas cylinder having a fixed flow
regulator (FFR) rated at 0.5 L/min1. Ensure bump test gas concentration is above alarm set points. Refer
to the regulator manufacturer for instructions on how to start and stop the gas flow from the cylinder.
4. Apply bump test gas and check gas reading and transmission signals. Gas readings must be within the
accuracy of the listed gas sensor (see “A.1 Detector Parameters”).
5. Following bump test replace the (red) Calibration Port plug.
6. Power ON smoke detector or switch to normal mode.
CAUTION:
For CO versions operating in UL 2075 alarm mode, apply 100 ppm of carbon monoxide for 3
minutes.
Note: Perform a bump test in between calibration intervals.

If detector fails the bump test check and if necessary, calibrate the detector. Follow steps outlined
in section “4.8 Troubleshooting”.

30036 negative value in fault status )
1. If device is in Inhibit state, return value is base
concentrate of sensor data (In case of ECC,
Noramlly 0)
2. If device is in fault state, return value is : return =
f32_gas_full_scale / 16 * (fault current value of
configuration - 4.0);
3. If device is in warning state, return value is : return
= f32_gas_full_scale / 16 * (warning current value
of configuration - 4.0);

40103 to Gas Reading R f32 2 The reported gas concentration in current
40104 measurement units. For example, methane at 50% LEL
would be reported as 50.0 here.
This concentration is forced to last reading before
switching into inhibit mode during inhibit mode.
40105 Fault and Warning ID R u8 1 This is the integer representation of the fault status. If l Fault = 1200 + Number
any fault exists this will take a value in the range 1200 l Warning = Number as is
to 1999. Otherwise, if any warning exists, this will take
a value in the range 1 to 999. Normally, this has the
value zero.
