Honeywell Sensepoint XCD SPXCDALMCX – Fixed CO Detector (0-300ppm, Electrochemical (Surecell™), ATEX, LM25, M20)
SPXCDALMCX is the Sensepoint XCD carbon monoxide variant, 0–300 ppm electrochemical default, LM25 epoxy-coated aluminium, 2 × M20, ATEX / IECEx / GB. Use it on boiler rooms, enclosed car parks and furnace galleries where CO is near-neutral buoyancy and a wall-mounted 4–20 mA point is safer than a clip-on badge.

Why this principle for this gas
CO mixes through the occupied layer instead of pooling on the floor. Electrochemical Surecell™ is chosen for ppm resolution and cross-interference control versus catalytic beads that only see flammability. Mount at breathing height (1.5–1.8 m) on the downwind wall of the boiler or parking deck; a floor mount will under-read a stratified plume.
Sensor and replaceable parts
OEM cartridge SPXCDXSCXSS. Calibration cap S3KCAL. Collecting cone follows buoyancy—see installation. Pipe/duct kits: SPXCDMTBR / SPXCDDMK.
Typical applications
Specify this SKU for boiler houses, tunnel plant rooms, sinter galleries and enclosed loading docks. A fixed XCD point gives a hard-wired trip to the ventilation starter and a local tri-colour display; a portable only records the minute you walked past.

Installation and wiring
Wall-mount SPXCDALMCX (carbon monoxide, LM25 epoxy-coated aluminium) through the one-piece plate with M8 bolts sized for that mass. This SKU uses 2 × M20 entries: pipe kit SPXCDMTBR covers Ø1.5–3″, duct kit is SPXCDDMK, and glands must match—do not retap SPXCDALMCX. Land SPXCDALMCX 4–20 mA as three-wire and set Modbus address from the menu only. Magnetic wand calibration on the SPXCDALMCX lid stays non-intrusive. On SPXCDALMCX hold CO at breathing height on the downwind wall.
FAQ
- SPXCDALMCX: Is the 0–300 ppm CO range field-adjustable?
- SPXCDALMCX — Yes, the user FSD window is 100–1000 ppm in 100 ppm steps. Leave 300 ppm for occupied rooms; lift FSD only if a process vent can exceed that.
- SPXCDALMCX: Will hydrogen interfere with the CO cell?
- SPXCDALMCX — Short H₂ transients can read as CO. If the room also handles hydrogen, add a dedicated G1 point rather than relying on this CX cell alone.
- LM25 or 316SS for SPXCDALMCX (carbon monoxide)?
- SPXCDALMCX ships in LM25 epoxy aluminium (~4.4 lb). For carbon monoxide in salt spray, caustic CIP or sour-water splash, switch to 316SS sibling SPXCDASMCX instead of painting this lid.
- Can I convert SPXCDALMCX from ATEX M20 to NPT in the field?
- No. SPXCDALMCX flameproof entries are machined M20. North-American NPT is UL sibling SPXCDULNCX, not an adaptor on this ATEX carbon monoxide body.
- Can I retrofit Modbus on SPXCDALMCX after it ships?
- Modbus RTU on SPXCDALMCX is a transmitter sales option, not a jumper on the carbon monoxide lid. Confirm the option before the box leaves; 4–20 mA sink/source is already on this SKU.
