Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does “LEL” mean in the measuring range?
A: LEL means Lower Explosive Limit. 100% LEL is the lowest concentration of gas in air that can create an explosion.
Q: Can this detector be used for ethylene gas?
A: Yes, the Searchpoint Optima Plus can be calibrated for ethylene. Note that accuracy specifications differ slightly from methane.
Q: How often does the detector need calibration?
A: Recommended calibration interval is typically every 6-12 months, depending on application, regulations, and environmental conditions.
Q: What is the difference between IP66 and IP67 ratings?
A: IP66 protects against powerful water jets. IP67 protects against temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. This unit meets both.
Q: From field experience, what affects sensor performance most?
A> Window contamination is the main issue. Keep the optical window clean. Consider protective covers or scheduled cleaning in dirty environments.

John Miller –
Just received my Searchpoint Optima Plus and it was shipped within 2 days — delivery was impressively fast. The unit is brand new, genuine Honeywell, and clearly packaged with full traceability. We installed it on our refinery site and it performed flawlessly, detecting even small hydrocarbon leaks within seconds. The service was professional, and it’s great to get real OEM quality equipment without long lead times.
Sarah Thompson –
This Optima Plus detector arrived quickly and in perfect condition — clearly new and untouched. Our offshore platform team set it up right away. The infrared detection is impressively sensitive, and the safety team confirmed it caught a small hydrocarbon vapour leak before it became hazardous. The ordering process was smooth and support was professional. Highly recommend for demanding industrial environments.
