The Honeywell Searchline Excel is a hazardous area certified flammable Infrared Open Path Gas Detector. This gas detector is ideal for applications in the harshest environments where reliability and performance are critical. The Searchline Excel provides a vast area of coverage, a very high speed of response and no unseen failure modes.
The unit consists of both a transmitter and receiver, for mounting at each end of the path that is to be monitored. There are three Searchline Excel versions available: Short Range (5-40m), Medium Range (40-120m) and Long Range (120-200m). Hazardous area approvals include European (ATEX), North American (UL) and Canadian (CSA). The receiver output is 3 3-wire 4-20mA selectable sink or source.
Please note that Searchline Excel CSA covers Methane-calibrate versions. A calibration has to be ordered with every Searchline Excel.
The fundamental design of Searchline Excel has remained the same since its original launch and it continues to lead the field.
Searchline Excel is immune to interference from sunlight or any other sources of radiation such as flare stacks, arc welding or lightning.
The patented optical design used in Searchline Excel has proven itself as the only solution available that fully addresses all the challenges of open-path gas detection. Unlike some competitive devices, it does not try to hide fundamental design inadequacy with the use of software masks that can compromise the unit’s ability to detect gas.
Searchline Excel employs a patented double-band pass filter that fully compensates for all types of fog and/or rain, thereby allowing it to continue to operate accurately and reliably in all climatic conditions.
