Honeywell 2108B0272 Optima Plus Calibration Cap

Applications

The Honeywell 2108B0272 Optima Plus Calibration Cap is a dedicated calibration accessory for the Searchpoint Optima Plus infrared gas detector. It provides a controlled interface for introducing calibration gas to the detector's measurement chamber, supporting accurate calibration procedures and routine maintenance.

Designed for use by qualified gas detection technicians, this accessory is particularly useful when verifying or adjusting detector performance during scheduled servicing.

Typical applications include:

• Infrared gas detector calibration: Provides the required interface for applying calibration gas to Searchpoint Optima Plus.

• Zero-point calibration: Supports procedures for establishing the detector's baseline response using the specified zero gas.

• Span calibration: Allows calibration gas of a known concentration to be introduced during detector calibration.

• Maintenance operations: Supports routine inspection and calibration of fixed gas detection installations.

• Industrial safety systems: Helps maintain the calibration of gas detectors used in process plants, chemical facilities, and other industrial environments.

Key Features and Calibration Benefits

The 2108B0272 is designed specifically for the Searchpoint Optima Plus detector, providing a dedicated accessory for calibration work.

• Dedicated detector compatibility: Designed for the Honeywell Searchpoint Optima Plus infrared gas detector.

• Controlled gas application: Provides inlet and outlet connections for the calibration gas arrangement.

• Calibration accuracy support: Helps establish the required gas exposure conditions during calibration procedures.

• Maintenance convenience: Supports planned calibration and servicing without requiring a permanent modification to the detector.

• Reusable accessory: Can be used for repeated calibration operations when properly maintained.

• Purpose-built design: Provides a detector-specific interface rather than relying on an improvised gas application arrangement.

Important: The calibration cap is intended for temporary use. It must be removed after calibration so that ambient gas can reach the detector's measurement chamber normally.

Technical FAQs

Q1: What is the main function of the Honeywell 2108B0272?

The 2108B0272 is a calibration cap used to introduce calibration gas to the Searchpoint Optima Plus infrared gas detector during calibration procedures.

Q2: Which gas detector is compatible with this calibration cap?

It is designed for the Honeywell Searchpoint Optima Plus point infrared gas detector. Compatibility with other detector models should not be assumed.

Q3: What is the difference between a calibration cap and a gassing cover?

The calibration cap is intended for accurate detector calibration. The gassing cover is designed for applying gas during field functional checks. For calibration, Honeywell specifies using the dedicated calibration cap.

Q4: What detector protection components must be removed before fitting the cap?

The weather protection components must be removed, with the dust barrier remaining in place. Follow the detector's applicable operating instructions before fitting the accessory.

Q5: Does the calibration cap have gas inlet and outlet connections?

Yes. The accessory has designated inlet and outlet connections to support the calibration gas arrangement.

Q6: Can the calibration cap remain installed after calibration?

No. It must be removed after use. Leaving it fitted can prevent ambient gas from reaching the detector's measurement chamber and interfere with normal gas detection.

Q7: Can the 2108B0272 be used for routine detector maintenance?

Yes. It is intended for calibration procedures performed as part of scheduled inspection and maintenance of compatible Searchpoint Optima Plus installations.

Q8: Does the calibration cap perform gas measurement?

No. It is a mechanical calibration accessory. Gas detection and measurement are performed by the Searchpoint Optima Plus detector.

Q9: What should be checked before using the calibration cap?

Confirm the detector model, inspect the cap and its connections, check the calibration gas arrangement, and follow the manufacturer's calibration procedure. Ensure the detector is configured for the intended calibration operation.

Q10: What should be done if the detector does not respond correctly during calibration?

Check the calibration gas concentration and supply, gas connections, cap installation, detector condition, and calibration procedure. If the problem remains, follow the manufacturer's troubleshooting instructions before returning the detector to service.
