regulations.

3. For installations in North America, the national Electrical Code (NFPA 70) or later

issues should be strictly observed.

4. Elsewhere, the appropriate local or national regulations should be used.

5. The Searchline Excel gas detector must be properly earthed to protect against

electrical shock and minimise electrical interference. For electrical installation design

considerations refer to Section 3.

6. Operators must be fully aware of the action to be taken if the gas concentration

exceeds an alarm level.

7. Dismantling or repair of equipment should be carried out in the safe area only.

8. Test gases may be toxic and/or combustible. Refer to Material Safety Sheets for

appropriate warnings.

9. Do not drill holes in any housing as this will invalidate the explosion protection.

10. In order to maintain electrical safety, the unit must not be operated in atmospheres

Searchline Excel is a hydrocarbon gas detection system that is available in two versions:

• Searchline Excel Open-Path Gas Detector

• Searchline Excel Cross-Duct Gas Detector

For information regarding the Cross-Duct Excel please refer to the Searchline Excel Cross-Duct

Technical Handbook, part number 2104M0520.

Searchline Excel Open-Path Gas Detector (OPGD) consists of aTransmitter unit that sends an

infraredbeamtoaReceiverunitupto200metresaway,andcanbelocatedwhereaammable

hydrocarbon gas cloud is likely to occur.

Thedetectoroperatesontheprincipleofinfrared(IR)absorption.Gasesabsorblightatspecic

wavelengths depending on their molecular composition. Hydrocarbon gases absorb in the

infrared region of the spectrum. If a cloud of hydrocarbon gas is present, part of the infrared

light is absorbed by the gas, causing a reduction in the signal received that is proportional to

the amount of gas in the beam.

The Searchline Excel Transmitter unit produces the infrared light, and the Receiver unit features

optical detectors and signal processing electronics. Each unit is housed in a robust stainless

steel housing. The Receiver produces a 4 - 20mA analogue output equivalent to 0 - 5 LEL.m

(Lower Explosive Limit metres) of gas.

NOTE: THE INFRARED BEAM IS INVISIBLE AND EYE SAFE

Searchline Excel is designed for use in the most demanding environments/applications and

provides a sensitive, fast and reliable response. The sophisticated open-path technology

provides immunity to sunlight and minimises the effects of environmental factors such as rain,

fog, ice, snow and condensation.

The Transmitter and Receiver units incorporate heated optics designed to minimise the build

up of humidity, condensation, snow or ice on the glass windows, that could obscure the optics

in extreme conditions.

The system is microprocessor controlled with integral self-diagnostics and fault nding

facilities.

Local communication between an operator/technician and the gas detector system is made

via an associated Handheld Interrogator that uses the Receiver’s inbuilt RS485 serial link.

The interrogator provides the user with a menu-style interface to select and invoke commands

for commissioning and configuring the system, and for viewing the system state and

measurements.

The interrogator is connected to the Receiver via one of Honeywell Analytics' DX100 (M) series

types of Termination Unit, or via other types of junction box (including the Honeywell OELD

smart junction box) using the optional SHC Protection Device. The DX100(M) Termination Units

feature an active digital interface that allows a remotely located control centre to monitor the

gas detector's signal output and perform basic commands using the Modbus Remote Terminal

Unit (RTU) protocol over an RS485 link.

Each type of Searchline Excel gas detector consists of two units, a Transmitter and a Receiver.

There are three ranges of Searchline Excel gas detector. These are:

Open-Path Short Range 5 – 40m (15ft – 130ft)

Medium Range 40 – 120m (130ft – 390ft)

Long Range 120 – 200m (390ft – 650ft)

When designing an installation for Searchline Excel it is important that the correct range of the

gasdetectorforeachpathtobemonitoredisselectedandspecied.

The Transmitter and Receiver are each mounted upon robust, adjustable mounting brackets.

These brackets bolt to a mounting plate, which is designed to accommodate a variety of junction

boxes,accessoriesandmechanicalmountingcongurations.Thesmallsizeandexibilityof

Searchline Excel and its mounting arrangements are intended to make correct installation

design as simple as possible. Installation details are given in Chapter 3.

2.2 TRANSMITTER

The Searchline Excel Transmitter produces an intense, collimated infrared beam which is

producedbyaXenonarcashlamp.

Theashlamp’sinfraredoutputiscollimatedusingmirrorswhichenablesamoreuniformbeam

(no chromatic aberrations) to be produced and hence reduces alignment sensitivity. In order

topreventannoyingvisibleashes,thevisibleemissionsfromtheashlampareblockedbya

lter.

TheTransmitter’sashlampispulsedatprecisely4Hz,eachpulselastingforapproximately

one microsecond. The precise timing and extremely short duration of these pulses give the

Transmitter a very distinctive signature. This distinctive signature makes it easy for the Receiver

todistinguishSearchlineExcelTransmitterpulsesfrombothnaturalandarticialsourcesof

infrared radiation.

NOTE: THE INFRARED BEAM IS INVISIBLE AND EYE SAFE.

ThemediumandlongrangeTransmitterscontainahigherpowerashlampandlargeroptics

than the standard short range unit. The resulting infrared beam is many times brighter which

allows for a considerable increase in operating range.

2. OVERVIEW

MAN0530 Issue 15 - 07/17 Searchline Excel

2104M0506

The Transmitter window is heated to minimise condensation, frosting and the build up of snow.

During particularly cold operating conditions, the heating of the Transmitter window is increased

to turbo levels. The turbo mode can be disabled if not required.

Electrical connections to the Transmitter are made via wires which run through the protective,

exibleconduit.TherearethreeTransmitterwires,red(+24V),black(0V)andgreenIyellow

(GND).

2.3 RECEIVER

The Searchline Excel Receiver collects infrared radiation from the Transmitter and performs

measurements to enable hydrocarbon gases in the beam path to be detected.

Infrared radiation is collected by a single, silicon lens, which is common to both the sample and

reference measurement channels. This radiation is divided by a beamsplitter and fed to two

ltereddetectors,sampleandreference.

Thesampledetectorinputislteredatwavelengthswherestronginfraredabsorptionisexhibited

bythetargetgas.Thereferencedetectorinputislteredatnearbywavelengths,wherestrong

infrared absorption is not exhibited by the target gas. By calculating the ratio of the sample to

reference signal it is possible to measure the quantity of gas in the beam, whilst compensating

for the effects of rain, fog, dirt etc.
