1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL
Searchpoint Optima Plus is designed for use in potentially hazardous areas where it provides gas and vapour detection which is free from poisoning and independent of the presence of oxygen. The gas measuring parts of Searchpoint Optima Plus are illustrated below.
Searchpoint Optima Plus uses the dual wavelength infrared absorption principle to detect hydrocarbon gases and vapours in various concentration ranges. The instrument measures the number of molecules of the target gas in the light path, which depends on the concentration of the target gas. In addition to the relatively long and open measuring
chamber, Searchpoint Optima Plus can be tted with a short enclosed ow through-cell as part of the chassis. This is tted with separate inlet and outlet ports and
allows the application of high concentrations of gas for test purposes.
10
MAN0551 Issue 07 - 09/08 2108M0501
1. INTRODUCTION
Searchpoint Optima Plus is a micro-processor controlled, Infrared Gas Detector with comprehensive built-in self-
diagnostic and fault nding facilities. An analogue 4 to
20mA output and digital communications are provided as standard. Full two way communication allows calibration and advanced self checking procedures to be used. To take advantage of these features a Hand-Held Interrogator unit may be connected to a Termination Unit or via the SHC Protection Device to other junction boxes.
There are several different types of termination unit available:
Termination Unit Certication Output
DVC Type Termination Units
DVC100 (I) MK2 ATEX Isolated 4-20mA
DVC100 (M) MK2 ATEX Isolated 4-20mA and MODBUS
DX Type Termination Units
DVC100 (I) UL Isolated 4-20mA
DX100 (M) UL Isolated 4-20mA and MODBUS
Searchpoint Optima Plus contains no moving parts and is available in a robust Stainless Steel explosion proof
enclosure which has a M25 (ATEX) or 3/4 NPT (UL and CSA)
mounting thread. The unit operates over a wide temperature range and has a high degree of protection against dust and water ingress. It is designed to operate in the most arduous conditions and is supplied with a choice of weather protection assemblies.
Searchpoint Optima Plus can be In-Duct Mounted, used
in Sampling Systems, is easily condence checked and
may easily replace an existing sensor. Provided that existing cabling has three appropriately rated cores and the installation is correctly screened and earthed, it should not
be necessary to replace the eld cables or junction boxes. (A current to bridge converter may be required if the controller cannot be congured to accept 4-20mA signals).

3. INSTALLATION
WARNING
The Code of Practice regarding selection, installation and maintenance of electrical apparatus for use in potentially explosive atmospheres must be complied with at all times.
Notes:1. The flying leads of the Searchpoint Optima Plus
must be mechanically protected and terminated within a suitable terminal or junction facility.
2. When the detector is terminated in a hazardous
area a suitable UL listed enclosure must be used (where appropriate).
3.1 UNPACKING
Carefully unpack the equipment, observing any instructions
that may be printed on or contained in the packaging, and check the contents for transit damage.
3.2 SITING AND ORIENTATION
Searchpoint Optima Plus must be mounted horizontally, as
this greatly reduces the risk of obscuration due to build up of dirt and moisture on the optical surfaces.
Ensure the area immediately surrounding the sensor is free from objects that could hinder
the free ow of air around it.
17
MAN0551 Issue 07 - 09/08 2108M0501
3. INSTALLATION
For monitoring lighter than air gases, Searchpoint Optima
Plus should be mounted above the area requiring protection.
For monitoring heavier than air gases it should be mounted below the area to be protected.
When monitoring for heavier than air gases and mounting
the detector close to the oor, give consideration to the
potential of general site debris to build up on the detector.
Whether Searchpoint Optima Plus is installed in a
sheltered or an exposed location, it will require some form
of protection around the optics. The standard weather protection combined with the sunshade/deluge protection provides a high degree of protection of the detector, suitable for many outdoor environments. Detectors operating in very exposed locations where torrential rain or driven sea-spray
is routinely encountered can benet from the additional protection provided by the Storm Bafe (2108D0280).
In areas where a high pressure jet may be used at close range to wash down the surrounding location, it is advisable
to t some means of extra peripheral shielding, Bafe or a shield plate.
eg. Storm
Accessories and attachments that can be used to improve ease-of-use, performance and reliability in particular installations are described in Section 3.4.
3.3 INSTALLATION GUIDE
Note: Installation of Searchpoint Optima Plus does not require
the unit to be opened. There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. Do not attempt to open or dismantle the unit.
(1) Ensure that the correct attachments and accessories
for the application have been tted (see Section 3.4).
18
MAN0551 Issue 07 - 09/08 2108M0501
3. INSTALLATION
(2) Check that the unit's 4-20mA current ouput is of the
correct type for the control card that it is connected to.
(Output type is on a label attached to white lead.)

Control card I/P: SOURCE Optima O/P: SINK
(3) Secure the junction box onto the mounting surface,
using the Junction Box Adaptor Plate if required.
Searchpoint Optima Plus must be installed with it's long axis horizontal in order for the standard weather protection to operate correctly and to prevent water from settling on the optical surfaces (see below). The Optima unit should therefore only be screwed into a threaded entry that is in a vertical wall of the junction box.
3 7
(4) Feed the unit's wires carefully through the chosen
junction box entry and offer up it's threaded boss to
the entry. Screw the unit into the junction box until it is secure and the semi-circular pattern of holes on the front of the weather protection are on the bottom
(see below). For M25 entries, the boss should go right through the wall and a locking nut should be tted;
whilst for 3/4 NPT entries, the boss should lock off on the taper. If getting the holes in the right orientation
requires more rotation than is readily achievable,
remove the weather protection and rotate it through 180 degrees.
19
MAN0551 Issue 07 - 09/08 2108M0501
3. INSTALLATION
(5) Using a multimeter, check that the voltages on the
+24V, and 4-20mA connections with respect to 0V are less than +32V DC and that there is no 110V or 230V AC around.
(6) Wire up the unit's electrical connections in
accordance with Section 4, taking note of the general recommendations upon electrical installation.
(7)
Ensure that all cable entries are either used or plugged
in strict accordance with the relevant certication requirements and local codes of practice.
(8) Verify the correct installation and operation of the unit
using the SHC-1 handheld interrogator. If a Termination Unit has been used, testing can be performed without the need for a hot work permit. Alternatively, if a basic junction box has been used, electrical connections can be made to the terminals inside the box using the SHC
adaptor. This will ordinarily require a hot work permit.
CAUTION
1. Searchpoint Optima Plus is certied and specied
for operation in ambient temperatures from -40°C to +65°C. Operation of the unit outside of this
temperature range invalidates the certication and
the warranty. The unit records a non-erasable fault log entry if it is operated at temperatures outside of
it's certied range.
If the ambient temperature that the unit could be
exposed to is likely to go outside of the certied
range it is recommended that the unit be located elsewhere. The use of sampling systems can be highly effective, especially in applications where high temperatures are involved.
20
MAN0551 Issue 07 - 09/08 2108M0501
3. INSTALLATION
2. Searchpoint Optima Plus is specied for operation
in environments where the rate of change of unit temperature is less than 3°C / minute. Exceeding this rate of change of temperature will cause the unit to report a fault and may cause permanent damage. If the conditions experienced by the unit are likely to cause it to exceed this rate of change it is recommended that additional preventative measures are taken. The use of sampling systems is highly
effective; whilst shielding the unit from the prevailing air ow can also be of benet.
3. Searchpoint Optima Plus has been vibration tested
to the levels specied in EN61779. If the vibration levels on the installation exceed this, the unit's
reliability and integrity of operation will be degraded. Do not install units in locations where the vibration exceeds this level.
4. All optical gas detectors are eventually affected by the build up of contaminants / condensation upon their optical surfaces, normally resulting in faults or warnings. In order to minimise the faults and warnings caused by this it is recommended that detectors are located as far away as is possible from sources of airborne contaminants and steam /
condensation. Alternatively, the tting of shields or the Storm Bafe (2108D0280) should be considered.
Sources of contamination / condensation that have caused particular problems where appropriate measures were not taken include generator / turbine exhausts, steam lines / vents, drilling operation
(oilmist and mud spray) and unltered HVAC
installations. In dusty atmospheres, regularly check
for the build up of dust on the detector (refer to section 7 Routine Checks).

3. INSTALLATION
3.4 ATTACHMENTS AND OPTIONS
3.4.1 General
There are a number of attachments and accessories available for use with Searchpoint Optima Plus. When specifying Optima Plus for a particular application, it is recommended that the user contacts Honeywell Analytics or their representatives to determine the attachments and
accessories required. Covers, barriers and bafes provide
protection from a wide variety of environmental conditions.
Gassing covers, cells and ow housings provide the means
of applying gas to the detector. Mounting plates and remote gassing kits enable the detector to be installed in ducts or in
places where obtaining routine access is difcult.
3.4.2 Standard Weather Protection (2108D0276)
Provides the best compromise between response time and protection. Suitable for indoor, outdoor and duct mounting applications.
3.4.3 Sunshade/Deluge Protection (2108D0275)
Supplied as standard for all outside applications. Provides additional protection against heavy rainfall, wash downs and direct sunlight.
22
MAN0551 Issue 07 - 09/08 2108M0501
3. INSTALLATION
The Sunshade/ Deluge protection should be clamped around the base of
the Standard Bafe
Weather Housing with the longer overhang extending beyond
the Standard Bafe.
Ensure the clamp does not cover the gas venting slot of the
Standard Bafe.
3.4.4StormBafe(2108D0280,NotIllustrated)
The storm bafe provides increased protection against
a variety of environmental conditions and effects. It is particularly effective against torrential rain and driven sea-spray and is recommended for exposed installations in maritime locations or areas where monsoon or tropical
rain conditions are experienced. The storm bafe can be benecial in installations where steam drifting over the detector from nearby plant is a problem. The storm bafe
can also be useful in some duct applications where the
inlets are not ltered and where high ow rates result in dirt
build-up or excessive cooling / condensation effects. This accessory will reduce the detector’s speed of response.
3.4.5DustBarrier(2108D0259,NotIllustrated)
Fits under the standard bafe weather housing to prevent
the ingress of dust or oil mist which could contaminate the optical surfaces. It also protects the optics in very wet or exposed locations. This accessory will reduce the detector’s speed of response.
23
MAN0551 Issue 07 - 09/08 2108M0501
3. INSTALLATION
3.4.6 Calibration Cap (2108D0272)
Used to achieve accurate calibration of Optima Plus on the
bench. Requires all protective
covers and attachments to be removed from the measurement chamber except for the dust barrier. The calibration procedures are described in Section 6.
CAUTION
The Calibration Cap is designed for temporary use on Optima whilst performing calibration. If the calibration
cap is left tted it will prevent ambient gas from reaching the detector's measurement chamber. Ensure that
operators are aware that calibration caps must not be
left tted. In order to reduce the likelihood of this mistake
going un-noticed, the calibration caps are coloured red.
3.4.7 Gassing Cover (2108D0258)
Provides a convenient means of applying gas to Optima Plus
units in the eld. Suitable for
functional test and calibration purposes. Fits over the standard weather protection, covering the gas inlet slots. Gas is introduced into the weather protection via an injection tube on the gassing cover. Injected gas diffuses through the dust barrier into the measurement chamber. The response check procedure is described in Section 5.4.
24
MAN0551 Issue 07 - 09/08 2108M0501
3. INSTALLATION
CAUTION
The Gassing Cover is designed for eld testing and calibration operations. If the cover is left tted it will prevent ambient gas from reaching the detector's
measurement chamber. Ensure that operators are aware that gassing covers must not be left on detectors. Gassing covers are coloured red to reduce the likelihood of this mistake.
3.4.8 Flow Housing (2108D0282)
For use in sampling system applications.
The Flow Housing is fabricated from solvent resistant Anodised Aluminium.
The nozzles on the Flow Housing are stainless steel with an outside diameter of 6mm.
It is advised that sample gases and vapours are sucked
(negative pressure) rather than blown (positive pressure) through this housing and that sample ow rates do not
exceed 2 litres per minute.
It is recommended that a ow failure indicator is tted within the sampling system and the minimum ow rates are
suitable for the application and not less than 0.7 litres per minute.
Note: response time will increase with a decreasing ow
rate.
The commissioning and calibration of an Optima equipped with a ow housing is described in Sections 5 and 6.
25
MAN0551 Issue 07 - 09/08 2108M0501
3. INSTALLATION
3.4.9 Remote Gassing Cell (2108B0240)
The Remote Gassing Cell (RGC) enables high
%V/V concentration gas to be applied remotely for
performing functional response checks (bump tests).
It is useful for units installed in ducts or in areas
where obtaining access is difcult. The RGC window
can be removed for cleaning.
Note: During production, Optima Plus units are calibrated with gas in the main measurement chamber, not in the RGC. The RGC is not recommended for calibration or high accuracy calibration testing purposes.
(The only exception to this is where units are being used to measure high %V/V gases using the RGC as a flow cell. In this instance, the units are production calibrated with gas in the RGC.)
In order to avoid pressurisation effects, the ow rate should
be kept below 0.3 litres / minute.
The RGC option is factory tted.
