The Honeywell Searchline Excel is an infrared open path gas detector to detect Methane and other hydrocarbons clouds in explosible areas
Why open path gas detection with Honeywell Searchline Excel?
Honeywell Searchline Excel supports individual point detectors and is offering many significant benefits including:
• Wider area coverage – most likely to pick up any leak
• Very high speed of response
• NO unrevealed failure modes – no possibility of blocked gas path to detector
The patented optical design used in Honeywell 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.
Honeywell 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.
