Honeywell XNX XNX-AMSV-MNNNN – no sensor (transmitter body), mV, ATEX, 316SS, M25
XNX-AMSV-MNNNN is a Honeywell XNX universal transmitter body with the mV personality, ATEX / IECEx (INMETRO on selected MPD SKUs), 4 × M25 entries, 316 stainless steel, Modbus RTU + 4–20 mA HART, no local HART port, and no MPD sensor in the carton. Order it when the field later fits an MPD catalytic or MPD IR head (CB1 / IV1 / IF1 / IC1) instead of a factory-configured detector.
Same sensor, swap enclosure/approval: aluminium XNX-AMAV-MNNNN, 316SS XNX-AMSV-MNNNN, other approval XNX-UTSV-MNNNN. XNX-AMAV-MNNNN · XNX-AMSV-MNNNN · XNX-UTSV-MNNNN

Why this personality / sensor
The mV personality is the millivolt interface for Honeywell MPD heads. Catalytic and MPD IR share that board; an IR Optima/Excel head will not talk to this SKU, and an electrochemical cell needs the EC personality. Buy a body when the sensor slate is still open or when you stock transmitters separately from MPD cartridges.
Personality and replaceable parts
XNX-AMSV-MNNNN uses the mV personality (MPD catalytic / MPD IR) board and mates with Honeywell MPD catalytic bead or MPD infrared sensors. 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
Typical body SKUs sit in a warehouse next to mixed MPD stock: pump rooms that may take catalytic LEL, biogas roofs that need methane IR, LPG pits that need propane IR, and inerting cabinets that need CO₂. The transmitter is already certified and threaded; you only mate the MPD later.

Installation and wiring
Wall-mount XNX-AMSV-MNNNN (316 stainless steel, approx. 5.0 kg) on a rigid stand sized for that mass. This SKU uses 4 × M25 entries—glands must match; do not retap XNX-AMSV-MNNNN. Land XNX-AMSV-MNNNN 4–20 mA HART per the loop drawing; relays/Modbus/FFB exist only on the matching option board. Magnetic-wand menus on the XNX-AMSV-MNNNN lid stay non-intrusive. XNX-AMSV-MNNNN 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-AMSV-MNNNN later?
- XNX-AMSV-MNNNN 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-AMSV-MNNNN a complete gas detector?
- No. XNX-AMSV-MNNNN is electronics and enclosure only. A configured detector has a three-character sensor code such as CB1 instead of NNN.
- Why is XNX-AMSV-MNNNN 316SS instead of aluminium?
- XNX-AMSV-MNNNN is the marine/sour-service body (~5 kg). Inland dry rooms can take aluminium sibling XNX-AMAV-MNNNN and save mass on the bracket.
- Can I convert XNX-AMSV-MNNNN from ATEX M25 to NPT in the field?
- No. XNX-AMSV-MNNNN flameproof entries are machined M25. North-American NPT is UL sibling XNX-UTSV-MNNNN, not an adaptor on this ATEX body.
- Can I retrofit Foundation Fieldbus on XNX-AMSV-MNNNN after it ships?
- No. XNX-AMSV-MNNNN is the Modbus RTU option board. FFB is a different sales option (XNX-AMSV-FNNNN), not a jumper on this lid.
