simply plugs into the bottom of the transmitter
and the transmitter automatically configures
itself accordingly. mV Transmitter EC Transmitter O2 Transmitter

Ready, Steady, Go!

Sensepoint XCD uses three instantly
recognisable ‘traffic light’ colours to indicate
its status. The large tri-colour backlit LCD
is steady green to indicate normal operation,
flashes yellow to indicate a fault/warning
and flashes red to indicate an alarm. This
allows anyone in the area to clearly see at a
glance the status of any detector. This can be
particularly useful to identify detector status if
the detector is located in a difficult to access Normal Fault/Warning Alarm
area or if a number of detectors are located in
the same area.
