Description
Honeywell 2108B2101N Infrared Combustible Gas Detector
Product Dimensions:
The Honeywell 2108B2101N is a specific part number within the Searchpoint Optima Plus line of gas detectors. It is a market-leading Point Infrared (IR) flammable gas detector designed to operate in harsh environments.
## Product Overview
The 2108B2101N is a Searchpoint Optima Plus hydrocarbon gas detector (certified to ATEX/IECEx standards). It uses dual-compensation, non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) technology to detect a wide range of hydrocarbon gases. This specific model is known for its “fail-to-safety” operation and its ability to function even when the optical lenses are partially obscured.
## Technical Specifications

| Output Signal | 4-20mA (Source or Sink) |
| Operating Voltage | 18V to 32V DC |
| Power Consumption | < 4.5W (Peak) |
| Response Time ($T_{90}$) | < 4.5 seconds (Methane) |
| Material | 316 Stainless Steel |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +65°C (-40°F to 149°F) |
| Enclosure Rating | IP66 / IP67 |
| Certification | ATEX, IECEx, SIL2 (Safety Integrity Level) |
## Key Advantages
-
Exceptional Stability: The dual-beam optical design compensates for temperature changes and component aging, reducing “drift” and the need for frequent recalibration.
-
High Resistance to Contamination: Unlike catalytic bead sensors, infrared sensors are immune to “poisoning” from silicones, sulfides, or halides.
-
Rapid Response: One of the fastest $T_{90}$ response times on the market, allowing for immediate executive action during a leak.
-
Reduced Maintenance: The “Dynamic Heating” feature prevents condensation on the optics, ensuring the device stays operational in humid or freezing conditions.
-
Fail-to-Safety: Advanced internal diagnostics provide constant monitoring of the unit’s health.
## Product Applications
The 2108B2101N is designed for high-risk industrial environments where flammable gas leaks are a constant threat:
-
Oil & Gas: Offshore platforms, floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels, and onshore refineries.
-
Chemical Plants: Processing areas where hydrocarbon solvents or gases are stored.
-
Power Generation: Gas turbine enclosures and fuel handling areas.
-
Wastewater Treatment: Monitoring for methane build-up in digesters or pump stations.
-
Pipeline Monitoring: Compressor stations and metering skids.
## Important Considerations (Precautions)
-
Calibration Gas: Ensure you use the correct target gas for calibration. While IR sensors detect many hydrocarbons, the response factor (cross-sensitivity) varies between gases.
-
Mounting Position: The unit should be mounted horizontally to prevent water or dust accumulation on the weather protection accessories.
-
Inert Atmospheres: Unlike catalytic sensors, the Optima Plus does not require oxygen to operate, making it ideal for monitoring gases in nitrogen-purged environments.
-
Handheld Interrogator: To change settings or perform calibration, you typically need a Honeywell SHC-1 Handheld Interrogator or a compatible junction box.
