safety information before installation and operation.
Failure to follow the above warning can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.
The ULTIMA X5000 Series transmitter is factory calibrated and shipped with the most common
default options to minimize set up effort. Any of the default settings can be changed to meet the
user’s individual needs via the EZ touch buttons on the display of the ULTIMA X5000.
4.1 Startup
4.1.1 Initial Startup
The first time the ULTIMA X5000 is powered on, the analog output goes to the Maintenance Mode
setting (default 3.5 mA) and the following will appear on the display while the LEDs cycle from
GREEN, to RED, to AMBER, then to GREEN:
• ULTIMA X5000 Logo with Software Version No.
• Tachometer countdown
• MSA Logo
XCell oxygen and carbon monoxide (CO) sensors require a 30 minute start-up time before being
fully functional. During this time the analog output signal will be at its maintenance (3.5 mA) level
while the display indicates the 30 minute countdown. All other XCell sensors have a 2 minute
countdown time during which the analog output signal will be at its maintenance (3.5 mA) level.
A full calibration is recommended after one hour of a sensor being installed and acclimated to the
environmental conditions. See section 5 for calibration details.
4.1.2 Sensor Warm Up Times
WARNING!
For optimal sensor performance, allow sensors 24 hours to acclimate to application conditions
before performing an initial calibration.
Failure to follow the above warning can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.

Swap Delay
Swap Delay allows the user a brief window to change an XCell sensor without the device going
into a fault condition. Once a sensor is disconnected from the transmitter, the user will have
2 minutes to reconnect a sensor. During this time, the device analog output will go to its Mainte-
nance level. If a sensor is reconnected or replaced during the 2 minute window, the new sensor’s
countdown sequence will begin and the analog output will remain at the Maintenance level. After
the sensor countdown is complete, the analog output will return to reporting a live gas reading. If
a sensor is not reconnected after the 2 minute window, the ULTIMA X5000 will enter a “Sensor
Missing” fault condition. All XCell Sensors have SafeSwap and do not need to be disconnected
from power while changing sensors. For more details on how to change sensors, see section 6.2.
Swap Delay is enabled on all ULTIMA X5000 transmitters by default.
NOTICE
The transition to maintenance mode during the 2 minute Swap Delay window and sensor count-
down will not trigger the Fault Relay. The Fault Relay will only be triggered when the device enters US
a fault condition.

Alarm Actions
Relays can be triggered by an alarm threshold as gas readings increase or decrease. Most appli-
cations require increasing alarm thresholds, except for Oxygen monitoring, which is most often a
decreasing alarm.
Relays can also be triggered such that the relays are latched in the alarm state until a user
acknowledges the alarm by placing one finger over each of the EZ touch buttons and holding for
1 second before releasing. If the alarm relay is configured to be Non-Latching, the alarm relay
output must be connected to an auxiliary device that performs the latching function. When the
alarm relay state is chosen to be Non-Latching, the relay will reset once the alarm condition (gas
value) returns to a value outside of the alarming condition.
A user can also disable alarms in the Alarm Actions menu.
To change alarm actions:
(1) Scroll to Settings and select it.
(2) Select Sensor.
(3) Select Alarm Setup.
(4) Scroll and select Alarm Actions.
(5) Select Sensor 1 or Sensor 2.
(6) Select Alarm 1 Actions or Alarm 2 Actions.
(7) Select Disabled, Increasing/Non-Latching, Increasing/Latching, Decreasing/Non-Latching,
or Decreasing/Latching.
(8) Scroll and select Save.
Span Value
The span value is used to set the calibration point. The default span values are approximately half
of the total range of the sensor as purchased (see Tab. 14). If the range is changed, the span value
should also be changed to increase accuracy over the full scale range.
Before changing the span value, the user should ensure that the appropriate concentration of cali-
bration gas is available. The concentration of the calibration gas should match the span value,
except if using propane to calibrate a combustible sensor to a different gas cross reference value.
To change the span value:
(1) Scroll to Settings and select it.
(2) Select Sensor.
US
(3) Scroll and select Span Value.
(4) Current Span Value is displayed.
(5) Enter desired span value.
(6) Scroll and select Save.
Default and range of available span values depends on the sensor type. See Tab. 14
for default and range of span values.
ULTIMA® X5000 50
Operation
Sensor Range
All XCell sensors have adjustable sensor ranges. The sensor range cannot be set below the
current alarm set points. The user may need to first lower alarm set points and/or span value in
order to adjust sensor range to desired level. The user should also consider adjusting the span
value to accommodate the changed sensor range so that the span is in the center of the range.
To change the sensor range:
(1) Scroll to Settings and select it.
(2) Select Sensor.
(3) Scroll and select Sensor Range.
(4) Current sensor range is displayed.
(5) Enter desired sensor range.
(6) Scroll and select Save.

Gas Table
The ULTIMA XIR PLUS combustible sensor can be calibrated to a wide range of compounds, see
section 9 for a list of gases, span values, and gas table values.
The XIR PLUS sensor is only performance approved for Methane and Propane.
Note that the Gas Table numbers listed above represent different linearity curves for infrared
absorbing gases. Typically, higher Gas Table numbers represent weaker absorbing gases. Each
curve represents a linearity that is applicable to a group of hydrocarbon gases and not necessarily
one specific gas. The Target Gas shown is representative of a group of gases with similar linearity.
WARNING!
The XIR PLUS sensor must be calibrated after changing the gas table and/or span value.
Failure to follow the above warning can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.
ULTIMA® X5000 51
Operation
Reset Sensor
The sensor default values can be restored by resetting the sensor. If Swap Delay is enabled,
during a sensor reset the analog outputs will behave the same as if a sensor were replaced. See
the section on Swap Delay for details. If Swap Delay is disabled the analog outputs will first go
into a fault condition, followed by the maintenance condition for the duration of the sensor’s count-
down.
NOTICE
The sensor goes into a Sensor Configuration Reset fault and must be calibrated after a sensor
reset. There will be four dashes displayed where the current reading should be.
All settings, including Alarm Set Point and Calibration Values, will be returned to factory defaults.
To Reset Sensor to factory default:
(1) Scroll to Settings and select it.
(2) Select Sensor.
(3) Scroll and select Reset Sensor.
(4) Select Continue.
Note: Sensor Reset can take 10 seconds to initiate the sensor’s countdown.
(5) Calibrate the sensor to clear Sensor Configuration Reset fault.
Disable Sensor
When removing a sensor from the transmitter while under power, the ULTIMA X5000 will enter a
Sensor Missing fault condition after the two minute Swap Delay period has expired (if enabled). If
Swap Delay is disabled, the transmitter will go into Sensor Missing fault immediately after
removing the sensor from the transmitter. If the system is off at the time a sensor is removed, the
transmitter will go into fault after its startup sequence. This fault condition can be removed by
disabling the affected sensor position.
Disabling a sensor removes the fault and stops communications with the sensor, the sensor’s
reading on the display is removed, and the mA channel for that sensor position is set to 0 mA. By
default, the ULTIMA X5000 has the Sensor 2 position disabled. If at any time a sensor is
connected to a position that is disabled, the ULTIMA X5000 will automatically enable that sensor
position.
To disable the sensor after removal:
(1) Scroll to Settings and select it.
(2) Select Sensor.
US
(3) Scroll and select the sensor you want to disable (Sensor #1 or Sensor #2).
(4) Scroll and select Disable Sensor.
Only one sensor can be disabled at a time. The transmitter will not allow both sensor
positions to be disabled simultaneously.
The ULTIMA X5000 only allows a sensor to be disabled after the transmitter has gone
into Sensor Missing fault.
ULTIMA® X5000 52
Operation
Diffusion Supervision
Diffusion supervision actively monitors the sensor inlet for obstructions. If an obstruction is
detected, the sensor will go into a fault mode to alert users and the control room that it is not seeing
gas due to an obstruction. Objects residing directly on or in the sensor inlet that result in a signif-
icant impact to the gas path are very likely to be detected by Diffusion Supervision. Examples
include paint, tape, water, and dirt. Small amounts of these materials can be visible on the inlet
while not impacting the gas path enough to trigger a Diffusion Supervision Fault. A fault signal will
only be sent out when the system determines that the amount of material that has accumulated
on or inside the sensor inlet is negatively affecting the gas path.
Even if a Diffusion Supervision Fault has not been triggered, it is good practice to clear
any foreign material from the sensor inlet if any is observed while inspecting the sensor.

Operation
All Digital Sensors, including catalytic bead and oxygen, will show life health status as
'Good' or 'Fair' with the following calculation:
Good condition occurs when the current calibrated span sensitivity is greater than 50%
of the way between the initial calibration sensitivity and the end-of-life span sensitivity.
Fair condition occurs when the current calibrated span sensitivity is less than 50% of the
way from the initial calibration sensitivity and the end of life span sensitivity.
US
NOTICE
Using expired calibration gas or the incorrect calibration gas can result in a premature "Fair"
status.
ULTIMA® X5000 60
Calibration
5 Calibration
Calibration is the process of applying a known quantity of gas to the transmitter so that the trans-
mitter can adjust the precision and accuracy of the measurements made in normal operating
mode. This process ensures that gas measurements are as accurate as possible.
Calibration Warnings - Read before Calibrating
Although ULTIMA X5000 sensors are factory calibrated, another calibration is recommended
once the unit is installed in its final environmental destination.
WARNING!
Use zero gas when zeroing the ULTIMA X5000 transmitter if there is any possibility of background
gas. Otherwise, improper calibration could occur.
For optimal sensor performance, allow sensor to acclimate to application conditions for 24 hours
before performing an initial calibration.
Perform calibrations 24 hours after initial start up and at a frequency identified in section 5.2 "Cali-
bration Frequency" and 5.3.1 "XCell Sensors with TruCal and Diffusion Supervision (H2S & CO
only)".
XCell Sensors with TruCal (CO & H2S) with Calibration Alert enabled provide an indication for
“Calibration Recommended” and “Calibration Required”. When either indication is provided by the
device, calibrate the sensor.
Failure to follow the above warnings can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.

Calibration
5.3.1 XCell Sensors with TruCal and Diffusion Supervision (H2S & CO only)
Sensors with TruCal technology will adjust sensitivity without any manual intervention or calibra-
tion, unless called for by the sensor. If the adjusted sensitivity from TruCal deviates too far from
the last gas calibration sensitivity, the sensor will recommend or, in extreme cases, require a cali-
bration. When a calibration is recommended, the transmitter LED status indicators slowly pulse
green. Users can also enable a Calibration Alert function that will send a milli-amp signal on the
analog output to the control room when a calibration is recommended. When a calibration is
required, the status LEDs will flash yellow and the transmitter will go into a Calibration Required
Fault. With Diffusion Supervision enabled, the sensors also actively monitor the sensor inlet for
obstructions and initiates a fault if the gas diffusion path becomes obstructed.
With Diffusion Supervision and Calibration Alert enabled, the time between scheduled cali-
brations can be extended to 24 Months.
If calibration alert and/or Diffusion Supervision are disabled, follow the calibration frequency
recommendations set forth in section 5.3.2.
5.3.2 XCell Sensors with TruCal without Diffusion Supervision (H2S & CO only)
Sensors with TruCal technology will adjust sensitivity without any manual intervention or calibra-
tion, unless called for by the sensor. If the adjusted sensitivity from TruCal deviates too far from
the last gas calibration sensitivity, the sensor will recommend or, in extreme cases, require a cali-
bration. When a calibration is recommended, the transmitter LED status indicators slowly pulse US
green. Users can also enable a Calibration Alert function that will send a milli-amp signal on the
analog output to the control room when a calibration is recommended. When a calibration is
required, the status LEDs will flash yellow and the transmitter will go into a Calibration Required
Fault. Without Diffusion Supervision, regular calibration of the sensor must still be conducted to
confirm the sensor inlet is not obstructed.
Actual TruCal sensor performance will depend on the application, background gas exposure, and
environment. To validate XCell sensors with TruCal, it is recommended that users follow their
regular calibration cycle and record the “as found” and “as left” values, tracking the percent adjust-
ment over time. Once a baseline is established, the calibration intervals can be extended until the
percent adjustment is greater than the expected accuracy of the sensor.
ULTIMA® X5000 63
Calibration
To abort, press either button on the touchscreen or mobile application at any time during
the zero calibration.
In the event that a calibration cannot be completed, the user can acknowledge the FAIL
by placing one finger over each of the EZ touch buttons and holding for 1 second before
releasing. The unit will revert to the settings of the last successful calibration.
WARNING!
The regulator used with the zero gas cylinder should not be the same as the regulator used for
the span gas. The span gas regulator can be contaminated with the target gas over time, and thus
raise the detection baseline and make the sensor less sensitive to the target gas.
Failure to follow the above warning can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.
ULTIMA® X5000 64
Calibration
If there is no target gas in the atmosphere around the sensor, using a zero gas cylinder
is optional.
NOTICE
If the calibration cap cannot be used (such as for a remote sensor application), ambient wind
conditions must be minimized during calibration to avoid a calibration with increased sensitivity.
Sensors with TruCal and have Diffusion Supervision enabled can go into Diffusion
Supervision Fault if the green Calibration Cap is left on after completing a zero calibra-
US
tion.
WARNING!
The green Calibration Cap must be removed from the sensor after a zero calibration. Failure to
do so could restrict gas flow to the sensor and result in erroneously low readings.
Failure to follow the above warning can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.
ULTIMA® X5000 65
Calibration
NOTICE
If a password is enabled, the user will not be able to proceed with the calibration without the pass-
word.
(1) Attach a regulator to the zero gas cylinder (if using) and the calibration cylinder.
(2) Attach the Sensor Guard to the bottom of the sensor.
(3) Place the green Calibration Cap over the Sensor Guard inlet so that it is flush with the bottom
of the Sensor Guard and completely covers the Sensor Guard inlet.
(4) Attach the tubing to the plastic stem protruding through the green Calibration Cap.
(5) Push the other end of the tubing over the zero cylinder regulator. Ensure the tubing
completely covers the gas outlet.
(6) Scroll and select Calibration.
NOTICE
If the calibration cap cannot be used (such as for a remote sensor application), ambient wind
conditions must be minimized during calibration to avoid a calibration with increased sensitivity.

Calibration
WARNING!
The green Calibration Cap must be removed from the sensor after calibration. Failure to do so
could restrict gas flow to the sensor and result in erroneously low readings.
Failure to follow the above warning can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.
WARNING!
The green Calibration Cap must be removed from the XIR PLUS after calibration. Failure to do so
could restrict gas flow to the sensor and result in erroneously low readings.
Failure to follow the above warning can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.
NOTICE
If the calibration cap cannot be used (such as for a remote sensor application), ambient wind
conditions must be minimized during calibration to avoid a calibration with increased sensitivity.
The XIR PLUS sensor can be calibrated to a variety of other target gases. Calibrating to a different
calibration gas will align the sensor's accuracy to that gas. Refer to section 9 "Appendix: Calibra-
tion Guide for Additional Gases" for calibration settings. Note that the XIR PLUS sensor is a
general hydrocarbon sensor, and calibrating to another gas will not prevent it from seeing other
hydrocarbons in the atmosphere.
5.9 XCell Catalytic Bead LOC Over Range
Catalytic bead sensors require the presence of oxygen in order to sense combustible gas. In the US
event of very large combustible gas leaks that exceed 100 % LEL, enough oxygen can be
displaced so that the sensor's response to gas is no longer proportional to the calibration profile.
The XCell catalytic bead has a locking fail safe mechanism that prevents the false reporting of a
safe condition while the % LEL concentration is still above 100 % LEL. When the gas concentra-
tion exceeds 100 % LEL, the sensor will go into LOC over range.
To clear the LOC over rage, the user needs to acknowledge and calibrate the sensor. To acknowl-
edge LOC over range, place one finger over each of the EZ touch buttons and hold for 1 second
before releasing. This will allow a recalibration of the sensor to clear the LOC condition.
WARNING!
Ensure that the area has been cleared of gas before acknowledging the LOC Over Range and
recalibrating the sensor.
Failure to follow the above warning can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.

Maintenance
6 Maintenance
WARNING!
Use only genuine MSA replacement parts when performing any maintenance procedures
provided in this manual. Failure to do so may seriously impair sensor and gas monitoring perfor-
mance, alter flameproof/explosionproof characteristics or void agency approvals. Failure to follow
this warning could cause the product to fail to perform as designed and persons who rely on this
product for their safety could sustain serious personal injury or loss of life.
Repair or alteration of the ULTIMA X5000 Gas Monitor, beyond the scope of the maintenance
procedures provided in this manual or by anyone other than authorized MSA service personnel,
could cause the product to fail to perform as designed and persons who rely on this product for
their safety could sustain serious personal injury or loss of life.
The ULTIMA X5000 Gas Monitor is constantly performing a self-check. When a problem is found,
it displays the appropriate error message. When a critical error is detected within the device, the
4-20 mA output signal goes to a fault condition.
6.1 ULTIMA XIR PLUS Cleaning Procedure
The presence of particulate matter, oil films, liquid water, or the residue from water drops on the
two monitor windows can adversely affect its performance. The XIR PLUS Sensor Guard is
designed to prevent foreign solids or liquids from reaching the monitor's optical system. Addition-
ally, heating elements are incorporated into the device to prevent water condensation. Under
severe conditions, however, some material may collect on these surfaces and it may be neces-
sary to occasionally check and clean the windows.
While both windows are made of a highly durable material that is not easily scratched, avoid
excessive pressure when cleaning them. Clean, cotton-tipped applicators are the most convenient
tool to remove material collected on the windows.
• Use a dry applicator or one moistened with distilled water to wipe the window and remove dust.
• Use an additional clean, dry applicator to remove any residual water.
• Use an applicator moistened with isopropyl alcohol to remove heavy deposits of solids, liquids
or oil films. Clean the window again with a second applicator moistened with distilled water;
then, dry the window with a final applicator.
• Avoid using excessive amounts of water or alcohol in the cleaning procedure, and inspect the
window to ensure that the entire surface is clean.
• The device will go into a “Low Signal” fault during cleaning with an analog output to 2.0 mA.
To clean the XIR PLUS sensor:
US
(1) Remove the Sensor Guard.
(2) Place an opaque object (piece of paper, cardboard, etc.) between the light source window
and the mirror to completely obscure the light path for two to three seconds.
The ULTIMA X5000 analog output is in a fault condition while sensor is partially blocked.
The display will indicate “Low Signal'’.
While in “Low Signal” fault, the sensor will not respond to the presence of gas.
(3) When cleaning is done and the objects are removed from the sensor window, the device
returns to normal operation. If water or isopropyl alcohol was used, allow the device to
operate for 15 minutes to completely dry before replacing the Sensor Guard and continuing
to monitor for combustible gas.
(4) Replace the Sensor Guard or flow cap.
ULTIMA® X5000 68
Maintenance
When the cleaning process is complete, be sure to remove all objects from the light path.
It is recommended to check the sensor’s response to zero and calibration gas after
cleaning.
Using other cleaning solutions or not thoroughly removing the isopropyl alcohol with a
damp cloth may result in a gas reading from the hydrocarbon bonds of the solvent.
WARNING!
Do not place foreign objects in the sensor's analytical region (except for the “ULTIMA XIR PLUS
Cleaning Procedure” as described above); otherwise, the infrared beam can be partially blocked,
causing the sensor to generate false readings. All objects must be removed from the sensor's
analytical region for it to function properly.
Failure to follow the above warning can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.
WARNING!
Do not disassemble the sensor assembly. The sensing element inside may contain hazardous
material.
Handle the sensor carefully; the electrochemical version is a sealed unit which contains a
corrosive electrolyte.
Any leaked electrolyte that comes in contact with skin, eyes or clothes can cause burns.
If any contact with the electrolyte does occur, immediately rinse with a large quantity of water.
On contact with the eyes, rinse thoroughly with water for 15 minutes and consult a doctor.
Do not install a leaking sensor in the sensing head assembly. The leaking sensor must be
disposed of in accordance with local, state and federal laws.
As part of the product certification, it was verified that optional communication functions of this US
gas detection instrument while operating at the maximum transaction rate do not adversely
affect the gas detection operation and functions of the instrument. The product certification,
however, does not include or imply approval of the SafeSwap feature, communications
protocol or functions provided by the software of this instrument or of the communications
apparatus and software connected to this instrument.
Follow the warnings below when removing or replacing sensors. Reference 2.10 for compo-
nent overview.
- Never remove or replace a Sensor Body Assembly or an Ultima XIR Plus while under power
or when explosive hazards are present.
- Confirm that the area is free of explosive hazards before removing or replacing an XCell
Sensor under power.
- To remove an XCell Sensor, unscrew XCell Sensor three full turns, wait 10 seconds, and then
remove the XCell Sensor completely.
Failure to follow the above warnings can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.

Maintenance
Identify the sensor assembly needed via the A-5K-SENS code on the interior sensor label and
obtain the appropriate sensor assembly. Screw the replacement XCell sensor onto the Sensor
Body Assembly, ensuring that the XCell sensor mates flush against the bottom edge of the Sensor
Body Assembly.
The ULTIMA X5000 Gas Monitor is shipped with the Sensor Swap Delay enabled. This means
that the 4-20 mA output signal and the FAULT relay will hold off a fault indication for two minutes
before the missing sensor indication is displayed on the device. This setting allows the operator
to exchange sensor modules without a FAULT indication. See Swap Delay in section 4.2.1 for
more details.

ULTIMA® X5000 71
Maintenance
If a sensor is in Diffusion Supervision Fault, the device will still allow the user to attempt to calibrate
the sensor. In the rare event that a sensor calibration is successful, but the Diffusion Supervision
system continues to detect a blockage in the gas path, the Diffusion Supervision Fault will return
in approximately 24 hours. In this scenario, there is likely an environmental factor affecting the
Diffusion Supervision detection. Provided the sensor can successfully calibrate, the sensor is still
capable of detecting gas. To prevent the Diffusion Supervision Fault from reoccurring, a user can
either disable Diffusion Supervision in the Sensor Settings (see section 4.2.2) or replace the
sensor.
6.4 Troubleshooting
The following table lists all fault messages, their priority levels, and corrective actions required to
resolve them. The faults are listed in alphabetical order. Lower priority messages are output only

The ULTIMA X5000 Transmitter, X5000 Junction Box, Ultima XIR Plus and Digital Sensors (H2S,
500 ppm H2S, CO, O2) also have FM Performance Approval for use in ordinary (non-hazardous)
or hazardous locations.
The following information shall be noted for FM Approved configurations:
• The FM Approved Digital Sensors have an IP65 and TYPE 3X environmental rating, however
if water is splashed onto the frit (also referred to as a flame arrestor), the sensor may not be
able to detect gas for a period of up to 12 minutes. If water is splashed onto this element, use
a cloth or paper towel to dab the frit in order to absorb any excess water.
• The FM Approval requires that password protection for Bluetooth be enabled.
• The Digital Sensor (O2) is not to be used in environments containing 5% (v/v) or more of
Carbon Dioxide.
• The Digital Sensor (O2) is unaffected by air velocities of up to 5 m/s.
• The response and recovery times for the Digital Sensor (HS, 500 ppm H2S, CO, O2) are as
follows:
