1.1 Features
The Detcon X40 controller (Figure 1) is a multi-channel gas detection control system. The X40 serves as a
host monitor/controller for a network of gas detection sensors and various other field devices.
The
controller offers a non-intrusive magnetic interface with backlit LCD display and Modbus™ technology
that supports either wireless or a hard wire sensor connection. The X40 is equipped with an auto configure
feature to automatically search the Modbus™ addresses for various Detcon equipment associated with the
controller and adds the equipment to the controller without user intervention.
Remote mounted gas detection sensors include any analog 4-20mA or RS-485 (Modbus™) serial devices
such as;
toxic gas,
combustible gas, or
oxygen deficiency sensors.
Remote field devices include contact closure inputs such as:
liquid level,
temperature,
pressure, or
smoke detection devices.
