METHANE 0-100%LEL
LEL=4.4%V/V
The Honeywell Searchpoint Optima Plus is a point infrared gas detector designed for continuous, reliable monitoring of flammable gas concentrations in demanding industrial and marine environments. Configured here for methane detection across a 0–100% LEL range, this unit forms a critical part of onboard Gas Detection Systems, providing real-time hazard monitoring to protect crew, vessel, and cargo. Its infrared sensing technology offers stable, accurate response without the consumable limitations associated with catalytic bead sensors, making it well-suited to applications where continuous uptime and long-term reliability are operationally essential.
Key Features
✓ Infrared point gas detection principle configured for methane (0–100% LEL, LEL = 4.4% V/V), delivering stable and accurate flammable gas measurement without sensor poisoning risk.
✓ Rated at VMAX = 32 VDC and PMAX = 8W as stated on the nameplate; additional certifications, approvals, and environmental ratings should be confirmed against the unit’s documentation and applicable installation standards.
✓ Designed for integration into fixed gas detection control systems and fire & gas panels — compatibility with specific controllers or monitoring heads should be verified against the vessel’s installed system configuration.
✓ Suitable for installation in areas requiring continuous flammable gas monitoring, including enclosed machinery spaces, pump rooms, and gas-risk zones; exact mounting and enclosure requirements are subject to confirmation based on installation drawings.
✓ As a direct replacement component within an existing Searchpoint Optima Plus installation, this detector supports like-for-like substitution, minimising reconfiguration time and supporting compliance with onboard gas detection maintenance schedules.
Marine Applications
✓ LNG, LPG, and gas carrier vessels requiring continuous methane monitoring in cargo compressor rooms, pump rooms, and gas-risk enclosed spaces.
✓ Offshore support vessels and platform supply vessels fitted with fixed flammable gas detection systems in engine rooms and hazardous areas.
✓ Tankers and chemical carriers where fixed point infrared gas detectors are integrated into the vessel’s fire & gas safety management system.
✓ Cruise ships, ro-ro vessels, and large commercial vessels with centralised gas detection panels monitoring machinery and auxiliary spaces.
✓ Drillships and semi-submersibles requiring certified point gas detection as part of their overall hydrocarbon leak detection and safety shutdown systems.
Why Marine Engineers Choose
The Honeywell Searchpoint Optima Plus is a well-established infrared gas detector recognised for its measurement stability, low maintenance demand, and suitability for harsh marine environments — making it a trusted choice for engineers maintaining fixed gas detection systems to flag and flag-state requirements.
Ideal For
Gas carriers, LNG vessels, tankers, offshore support vessels, drillships, platform supply vessels, and any commercial vessel class operating fixed flammable gas detection systems requiring a reliable methane point detector.
Technical Support & Compliance
Remote technical guidance, onboard commissioning support, functional testing assistance, and retrofit or integration advice are available subject to confirmation. To confirm compatibility with your installed gas detection system, buyers are advised to share nameplate photographs, the full part number (2108B 2001M), control panel model and firmware version, installation drawings, and vessel name or IMO number where relevant. All compatibility and compliance assessments are subject to confirmation based on the information provided and the specifics of the onboard installation.
