The Honeywell Searchpoint Optima Plus is an infrared point Hydrocarbon Gas Detector certified for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. The units infrared detection principle offers the fastest speed of response and fail-to-safe operation, ensuring that your plant is compliant, your personnel are protected and your production process can deliver maximum uptime.
Reduced routine maintenance, when compared with conventional electro-catalytic based Gas Detectors, provides low ongoing cost of ownership. The development of advanced internal fault diagnostics and false alarm rejection algorithms ensures that the Honeywell Searchpoint Optima Plus delivers the highest level of operational integrity.
Features
Optics Block: the 4-channel (dual compensated) optics-block is the heart of the Searchpoint Optima Plus
Microprocessor: the microprocessor controls the operation of the Searchpoint Optima Plus
Heated Optics Plus Dynamic Heating Control: heated optic components, monitored via smart electronics, eliminate condensation build up with power saving features
Remote Gassing Cell: Factory fitting of this optional gassing cell within the optical path allows the remote injection of functional test gas to validate the performance of a Searchpoint Optima Plus.
Applications:
Typical applications include environments that may suffer from the presence of catalytic bead poisons or inhibitors, or where there are harsh environmental conditions forcing increased time between routine maintenance, for example:
Offshore oil and gas platforms
