1.2.1
CXT-IR Intelligent Transmitter Module
The Intelligent Transmitter Module (ITM) is a fully encapsulated microprocessor-based package that accepts a
plug-in field replaceable combustible gas sensor.
Circuit functions include (Figure 4):
•
extensive I/O circuit protection,
•
sensor pre-amplifier,
•
on-board power supplies,
•
microprocessor,
•
LED display,
•
magnetic programming switches,
•
built-in 2.4GHz radio
Magnetic program switches located on either side of the LED Display are activated by a hand-held magnetic
programming tool, allowing a non-intrusive operator interface with the ITM. The program switches allows
calibration without declassifying the area.
