Honeywell Searchpoint Optima Plus — point IR detector of flammable gases
The Honeywell Searchpoint Optima Plus is a point detector of flammable gases using infrared (IR) technology, certified for explosion-hazard zones. The IR principle provides the fastest response and fail-to-safe operation (no sensor poisoning). Over 100 gas and vapour calibrations, 4–20 mA output with HART, range 0–100% LEL. It performs well on offshore platforms, in refineries, LNG/LPG terminals and power plants. SafeTech supplies, configures and services.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
How does an IR detector surpass a catalytic one?
It does not get poisoned and operates fail-to-safe, and its response is very fast — key in hydrocarbon applications.
How many gases can it detect?
Over 100 calibrations of flammable gases and vapours are available.
What output does it have?
4–20 mA with HART communication for integration with a control panel.
