Why this part number
X-type 2108B2021N is not a Standard 2108N4xxx with a bolt-on rain hat. If the sample is already pumped, order this SKU instead of a diffusion head.
Spares and mates
2108B2021N is Searchpoint Optima Plus Variant. The detector is 316SS point IR with the factory window or flow-housing kit. Matrix: product-2698. Do not substitute Sensepoint XCD cartridges or XNX personalities.
Typical applications
2108B2021N belongs on analyser-house bypasses, cold-box sample lines and ethylene/hydrocarbon loops that must be gassed in a safe area.

Installation and service
Mount 2108B2021N on a rigid 316 stand sized for the nameplate mass. Entries are M25 — do not retap. Land 4–20 mA on the fire-and-gas matrix; HART does not replace the trip pair. Keep the weather/deluge kit oriented so water cannot pond on the window. Gas with the Hydrocarbon curve only.
FAQ
- Is 2108B2021N a catalytic LEL detector?
- No. 2108B2021N is Searchpoint Optima Plus point IR. Catalytic beads are Sensepoint XCD or XNX+MPD.
- Can I recertify 2108B2021N from hydrocarbon to ethylene in the field?
- No. This SKU is the Hydrocarbon curve. Order sibling — instead of swapping filters.
- Does 2108B2021N include HART?
- 4–20 mA only; HART sibling is —. HART does not replace the trip pair.
- Can I convert Standard to Sampling on the lid?
- The window kits differ. 2108B2021N is Variant; the other style is —. Prefer a sampling SKU or flow-housing retrofit kit.
- Is 2108B2021N an XNX transmitter?
- No. 2108B2021N is the Optima detector head. Pairing with XNX needs a separate IR-personality transmitter.
- Can I retap the entries?
- No. 2108B2021N is ATEX / IECEx / M25. Other approvals are sibling —.
