SmartWireless® CXT Controller
The Detcon SmartWireless® CXT controller is a multi-channel mobile gas detection control system
mounted on a tripod or wall mounted. The CXT can be utilized as a self-contained gas detection,
display/alarm system package or wirelessly connected to the main network. The CXT is equipped with an
auto configure system to automatically search for Detcon equipment associated with the controller.
SmartWireless® CX
The SmartWireless® CX Sensor Station is an accessory to the SmartWireless® CXT. The CX wirelessly
transmits the data from up to 4 wired sensors back to the CXT and includes a battery that powers the radio,
alarm devices, and the attached sensors.
Alarm Stations
Alarm stations can be used as part of the gas detection system. Class I Division 1 and Class I Division 2
alarm stations are available. The stations are battery powered and controlled wirelessly by the CXT. The
strobe and horn installed on the CX are activated by the CXT when the alarms levels are reached.
Alarm options for the CXT are as follows:
1. Integral audio visual mounted on the control panel (Class 1; Division 2 Groups A,B,C,D only)
2. Standalone audio visual alarm station (Class 1; Division 2)
3. Standalone audio visual alarm station (Class 1; Division 1)
Gas Detection Sensors
Gas sensors with a 4-20mA output can be connected directly to the CXT. The Detcon CXT-IR and CXT-
DM sensors are designed to be used wirelessly with the SmartWireless® CXT.
