Description

Searchpoint Optima Plus is an infrared point Hydrocarbon gas detector certified for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.

Infrared point hydrocarbon gas detector certified for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.

Material: 316 stainless steel.

Response time: T50 < 3 seconds, T90 < 4 seconds (methane).

The unit’s 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 a low ongoing cost of ownership. The development of advanced internal fault diagnostics and false alarm rejection algorithms ensures that the Searchpoint Optima Plus delivers the highest level of operational integrity.
