2. Measuring Range: 0 ~ 5 LEL.m (Lower Explosive Limit per meter)
3. Medium Detection Path Length: 40m ~ 120m (130ft ~ 390ft)
4. Response Speed (T90): Less than 3 seconds under normal clean environmental conditions
5. Power Supply: 18VDC ~ 32VDC, max 10W power consumption
6. Signal Output: 4-20mA analog current signal + RS485 Modbus RTU digital communication
7. Operating Environment: -40°C ~ +65°C working temperature, 0~99%RH non-condensing humidity
8. Mechanical & Protection: 316 stainless steel housing, IP66/IP67 ingress protection rating
9. Safety Certifications: ATEX, IECEx, DNVGL marine hazardous zone approval
10. Weight: Approx. 7kg; Country of Origin: United Kingdom
2. Core Product Functions
- Infrared Beam Absorption Gas Measurement Receives xenon flash infrared light from the matched transmitter, calculates gas concentration by measuring infrared light absorption caused by hydrocarbon molecules along the optical path, providing linear LEL.m measurement data.
- ATEX Intrinsically Safe Hazardous Zone Operation Fully explosion-proof internal circuit and sealed stainless steel enclosure, eliminates ignition spark risks for Class I flammable gas & dust hazardous industrial areas.
- Dual Analog & Digital Signal Transmission Output standard 4-20mA analog signal for direct connection to DCS/PLC; Modbus RS485 digital bus supports multi-drop networking for centralized gas monitoring system.
- Automatic Environmental Compensation Algorithm Built-in temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure compensation logic to eliminate measurement drift caused by weather and environmental changes.
- Self-Diagnosis & Fault Alarm Function Continuous monitoring of optical lens contamination, beam misalignment, power supply anomaly and internal circuit failure; outputs dedicated fault signal to control system for early maintenance reminder.
- Configurable Multi-Stage Gas Alarm Output Supports adjustable low/high gas concentration alarm thresholds (factory default:1.0 LEL.m low alarm,3.0 LEL.m high alarm) for safety interlock control of ventilation, shut-off valves and emergency shutdown systems.
- Long-Term Stable Optical Performance Anti-corrosion 316 stainless steel housing and sealed optical chamber prevent dust, oil mist and corrosive gas erosion, maintaining consistent measurement accuracy for years with minimal drift.
- Marine Offshore Environment Adaptation Compliant with DNVGL marine certification, resistant to salt spray, vibration and large temperature fluctuations for offshore platform and vessel hazardous compartment deployment.
3. Typical Application Scenarios
- Onshore & Offshore Oil & Gas Platforms Long-distance gas leakage monitoring for drilling decks, crude oil storage tank zones, natural gas compressor stations and pipeline valve manifolds.
- Chemical & Petrochemical Processing Plants Flammable VOC detection in reactor areas, distillation units, fuel loading docks and chemical raw material storage warehouses.
- LNG/LPG Terminals & Tanker Vessels Marine-certified gas detection for liquefied fuel cargo holds, pump rooms and offshore floating storage facilities.
- Power Generation Gas Turbine Stations Natural gas pipeline leakage monitoring around gas turbine fuel supply rooms and auxiliary gas storage areas.
- Wastewater & Biogas Treatment Facilities Methane biogas leakage detection in anaerobic digestion tanks and biogas pipeline distribution areas.
- Mining & Underground Gas Storage Facilities Long-path open area flammable gas monitoring for underground gas caverns and mine ventilation tunnels.
- Industrial Hazardous Zone Retrofit Safety Upgrade Replacement receiver unit for existing Honeywell Searchline Excel medium-range open path gas detection systems.
4. Common Faults & Troubleshooting Solutions
4.1 Persistent Beam Fault Alarm, No Valid Gas Reading
Causes: Heavy dust/oil mist contamination on receiver optical lens; transmitter-receiver beam misalignment; blocked infrared light path by obstacles; damaged internal optical sensor. Solutions: Clean lens surface with lint-free optical alcohol wipes; re-calibrate transmitter/receiver beam alignment; remove obstructions along optical path; replace internal optical bench if hardware damage confirmed.
4.2 Measurement Drift & Unstable Concentration Readings
Causes: Lens long-term contamination; extreme ambient temperature fluctuation without compensation; loose mounting bracket causing vibration shift; aging internal signal circuit. Solutions: Perform regular lens cleaning cycle; re-run factory environmental compensation calibration; fasten all mounting bolts and install anti-vibration brackets; return unit to Honeywell for full overhaul.
4.3 No 4-20mA / Modbus Signal Output to Control System
Causes: Incorrect 18~32VDC power wiring polarity; damaged signal cable; loose terminal block contacts; Modbus baud rate/slave address parameter mismatch. Solutions: Reverse DC power supply wiring; replace shielded 2-core signal cable; re-tighten wiring terminals; match Modbus communication parameters with DCS host system.
4.4 Slow T90 Response Speed Over 5 Seconds
Causes: Thick oil film or dust covering optical window; severe fog/steam blocking infrared beam; internal xenon flash lamp power attenuation. Solutions: Deep clean optical lens and window; install weather shelter to reduce fog/steam interference; replace transmitter flash lamp assembly.
4.5 External Housing Gas Leakage & Corrosion Damage
Causes: Damaged IP67 sealing gaskets; loose enclosure cover bolts; corrosive chemical vapor long-term erosion of stainless steel surface. Solutions: Replace all original ATEX certified sealing gaskets; evenly torque enclosure cover bolts; apply anti-corrosion protective coating to housing surface, install weather isolation shield.
4.6 ATEX Safety Fault Alarm in Hazardous Zone
Causes: Cracked explosion-proof enclosure housing; non-certified spare parts replacement; damaged internal intrinsically safe circuit. Solutions: Inspect housing for cracks and seal integrity; only use Honeywell original ATEX-certified replacement components; send unit back to factory for safety circuit repair and re-certification.
