xWatch®Explosion-Proof Camera
with X-Series Flame Detectors
DESCRIPTION
The xWatch®Explosion-Proof Camera is available as a
factory installed option with X3301, X3302, X2200, X5200,
X5202, and X9800 (X-Series) Series flame detectors.
With this arrangement, the camera and detector share
the same field of view.
The xWatch Surveillance Camera produces a high
resolution color video picture using a camera module
that is mounted inside an explosion-proof Type 4X rated
housing. The device’s explosion-proof rating makes it
suitable for Class I, Div. 1, Groups B, C, and D locations.
In the event of a fire or gas alarm, the operator can
immediately view the monitored area to determine
whether personnel are present and safe. An accurate
evaluation of the hazard’s size, nature, location, and
severity can be determined quickly and safely.
The use of a digital video recorder (DVR) to capture the
event provides a permanent record for future analysis of
what occurred.
GENERAL APPLICATION
INFORMATION
The xWatch has a balanced differential video output for
driving a long distance twisted pair signal to a remote
site for monitoring and/or recording. The video output
format can be either NTSC (National Television Systems
Committee) or PAL (Phase Alternating Line).
The xWatch video driver is designed for use with twisted
pair cable of 100 ohm impedance. The best video
performance in terms of distance, video quality, and cost
is attained using 22 AWG to 16 AWG, twisted pair cable
of 100 ohm impedance. The monitor end must terminate
the video cable with 100 ohms. Since most monitors
have a built-in termination resistor of 75 ohms instead
of 100 ohms, a balun or other matching network (video
converter) must be used.
A variety of matrix control systems or DVRs can be suitable
for viewing or recording the video signal, depending
on the requirements of the individual application. The
detector’s auxiliary relay contacts are typically used to
signal the video system of an alarm event.
Refer to Figure 1 for a schematic of a typical system.

INSTALLATION
CAUTION
Installation and wiring of the flame detection
system should be performed only by qualified
personnel. Refer to the ame detector instruction
manual for general installation instructions.
VIDEO CABLE CONSIDERATIONS
Proper video cable will ensure that the best quality video
is displayed on a remote monitor. Because composite
video frequencies span the range of 25 Hz to 6 MHz,
most cables will display transmission line characteristics.
Ensure that the same cable type (impedance) is used
throughout the entire length. For example, do not mix
twisted pair cable and coaxial cable without using a
balun for matching. In addition, the monitor end must
be properly terminated. Failure to properly implement
the video cabling system may result in smearing (loss of
detail) and/or loss of color and/or loss of picture sync.
The xWatch employs a balanced differential video
driver designed to drive twisted pair cable of 100 ohm
impedance. The best video performance in terms of
distance, video quality, and cost is attained using a 22
AWG to 16 AWG unshielded twisted pair cable of 100
ohm impedance. The wiring can be Category 2 or better,
stranded or solid.
The monitor end must terminate the video cable with 100
ohms. Most monitors have a built in termination resistor.
If the monitor uses 75 ohms instead of 100, a balun or
other matching network must be used.
Galvanic isolation of the video may also be necessary
to avoid horizontal bars caused by line frequency
interference. This may be accomplished using isolating
active transceiving systems or passive video isolation
transformers/baluns. Specify a baseband video isolation
system with a frequency response of at least 25 Hz to 6
MHz. Small cable TV transformers will generally not work
as their frequency response is not low enough.
WIRING PROCEDURE
CAUTION
Power must not be applied to the device while the
housing is open.
ATTENTION
Observe precautions for handling electrostatic
sensitive devices.
1. Wire the flame detector as shown in the detector
manual.
2. Connect the external wiring for the xWatch to the
appropriate screw connectors on the terminal block.
See Figures 4 and 5.
IMPORTANT
Do not test any wiring connected to the xWatch
with a meg-ohmmeter. Disconnect wiring at
the camera before checking system wiring for
continuity.
3. Complete installation and commissioning of the
system as described in the detector instruction
manual.

LEVELING THE CAMERA
If the image on the monitor does not appear to be level,
this can be corrected by rotating the camera module.
1. Remove the housing cover from the xWatch.
2. Loosen the setscrew on the side of the xWatch
module. See Figure 6.
3. Align the two notches on the face of the module so
that they are level with the horizon or until the image
on the monitor looks level.
4. When proper orientation has been achieved, carefully
tighten the setscrew. Do not overtighten.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The xWatch camera is not designed to be repaired in
the field. If it is determined that the problem is caused
by an electronic defect, please contact your local Det-
Tronics Representative or alternately you may contact
Det-Tronics Technical Support by calling 1-800-765-3473
to obtain assistance.
REPLACING THE xWATCH CAMERA MODULE
CAUTION
Power must not be applied to the device while
opening the housing or while plugging in or
removing the module.
1. Disassemble the enclosure by turning the housing
cover counterclockwise. See Figure 7 for an
illustration of the xWatch assembly.
2. Remove the existing camera module from the
xWatch.
3. Using the index pin as a guide, install the new xWatch
camera module on the terminal block.
4. Re-assemble the device housing.
5. Clean the camera lens if required.

MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
The xWatch camera requires no periodic calibration or
servicing. However, the camera lens should be cleaned
on a regular basis.
Clean the camera lens using a clean cloth or tissue and
Det-Tronics window cleaning solution (p/n 001680-001).
If a stronger solution is needed, isopropyl alcohol may
be used.
