Detcon SmartWireless X40 is a gas detection and control system compatible with Detcon’s Model RXT transceivers. Flexible and expandable, the SmartWireless X40 network can include up to 32 devices and consist of any combination of wireless and/or wired sensors and alarm warning devices.

Command functions include alarm reset, alarm acknowledge, alarm test and radio silence. In normal operation the control panel displays real time gas concentrations or the status of other field devices; battery charge levels, network RF signal quality and any number of fault diagnostic conditions affecting either an individual field device or the entire network. These fault conditions are displayed on the control screen. Options include audio alarm, visual alarm, external alarm port, alarm reset switch, 10 meter separation antenna, and battery backup.

Wired devices can be interfaced with the SmartWireless X40 using Detcon’s stackable din-rail mounted I/O modules. Detcon I/O modules include a 4-channel 4-20mA input module (DA-4), a 4-alarm relay output module (RL-4), a 4-channel 4-20mA output module (AO-4), and a 4-relay contact input module (DI-4). Detcon modules can be mounted within the main system enclosure or installed remotely to simplify field wiring. All I/O modules are individually addressable and operate on 11.5-30VDC.

The SmartWireless X40 is available in two NEMA 4X enclosures. The SmartWireless X40-8 provides power for up to eight wired field devices and can house up to five 4-channel I/O modules. The SmartWireless X40-32 provides power for up to 32 wired field devices and can house up to twelve 4-channel I/O modules.

The SmartWireless X40 is completely field programmable using a small handheld magnet and offers advanced technology with intuitive, embedded intelligence. The control system displays real time readings and field device status on a backlit LCD screen. During normal operation the screen displays alarm status and current reading (i.e., channel number, gas type, and gas concentration) for up to 8 field devices simultaneously. The display is sequential and auto cycles through each of the active channel screens during normal operation.
