Honeywell XNX XNX-AMAE-MHNNN – no sensor (transmitter body), EC, ATEX, Aluminium, M25
XNX-AMAE-MHNNN is a Honeywell XNX EC-personality transmitter body, ATEX / IECEx (INMETRO on selected MPD SKUs), 4 × M25, LM25 aluminium (painted), Modbus RTU + 4–20 mA HART, local HART port on the transmitter, no cell. Toxic and oxygen XNX electrochemical sensors mate here; catalytic LEL and MPD IR do not.
Same sensor, swap enclosure/approval: aluminium XNX-AMAE-MHNNN, 316SS XNX-AMSE-MHNNN, other approval XNX-UTAE-MHNNN. XNX-AMAE-MHNNN · XNX-AMSE-MHNNN · XNX-UTAE-MHNNN

Why this personality / sensor
Electrochemical cells need bias, temperature compensation and a different connector than the mV MPD. This personality is the XNX answer to H₂S, CO, O₂, Cl₂ and other toxics on the XNX EC list. Do not buy it to run a pellistor.
Personality and replaceable parts
XNX-AMAE-MHNNN uses the EC personality (toxic / oxygen electrochemical) board and mates with XNX electrochemical toxic and oxygen cells. This SKU ships without a sensor; order the head by gas. Spares live on product-3991. Do not substitute Sensepoint XCD cartridges on XNX.
Typical applications
Water-treatment H₂S, boiler-house CO, nitrogen-purge O₂ and chlorine rooms keep the transmitter on the wall and swap EC cells on a 12–24 month cycle. The body SKU is what you stock when the gas list is still being written.

Installation and wiring
Wall-mount XNX-AMAE-MHNNN (LM25 aluminium (painted), approx. 2.8 kg) on a rigid stand sized for that mass. This SKU uses 4 × M25 entries—glands must match; do not retap XNX-AMAE-MHNNN. Land XNX-AMAE-MHNNN 4–20 mA HART per the loop drawing; relays/Modbus/FFB exist only on the matching option board. Magnetic-wand menus on the XNX-AMAE-MHNNN lid stay non-intrusive. XNX-AMAE-MHNNN is a body: wall-mount the transmitter first and mate the head after the personality is confirmed—do not buy a configured SKU until the gas is frozen.
FAQ
- Can I add an MPD sensor to XNX-AMAE-MHNNN later?
- XNX-AMAE-MHNNN ships as a transmitter body. mV personalities accept MPD CB1/IV1/IF1/IC1 heads; IR personalities need Optima/Excel; EC personalities need XNX electrochemical cells. Do not mix those three families on this board.
- Is XNX-AMAE-MHNNN a complete gas detector?
- No. XNX-AMAE-MHNNN is electronics and enclosure only. A configured detector has a three-character sensor code such as CB1 instead of NNN.
- When should I swap XNX-AMAE-MHNNN aluminium for 316SS?
- Use XNX-AMAE-MHNNN (aluminium, ~2.8 kg) in inland, painted plant. Coastal, splash and sour-water decks should move to stainless sibling XNX-AMSE-MHNNN.
- Can I convert XNX-AMAE-MHNNN from ATEX M25 to NPT in the field?
- No. XNX-AMAE-MHNNN flameproof entries are machined M25. North-American NPT is UL sibling XNX-UTAE-MHNNN, not an adaptor on this ATEX body.
- Can I retrofit Foundation Fieldbus on XNX-AMAE-MHNNN after it ships?
- No. XNX-AMAE-MHNNN is the Modbus RTU option board. FFB is a different sales option (XNX-AMAE-FHNNN), not a jumper on this lid.
