Why this part number
Legacy 2108B2103H shares the Optima Plus optics with the 2108N range, but approval kits and accessory packs changed. Do not write 2108B2103H into a new PID; read the nameplate before swapping the whole head versus a window/lamp kit.
Spares and mates
2108B2103H is Searchpoint Optima Plus Legacy. 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
2108B2103H shows up on offshore, FPSO pump-room and refinery compressor spare lists. Hydrocarbon SKUs are not ethylene curves.

Installation and service
Mount 2108B2103H on a rigid 316 stand sized for the nameplate mass. Entries are 3/4" NPT — 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 Ethylene curve only.
FAQ
- Is 2108B2103H a catalytic LEL detector?
- No. 2108B2103H is Searchpoint Optima Plus point IR. Catalytic beads are Sensepoint XCD or XNX+MPD.
- Can I recertify 2108B2103H from hydrocarbon to ethylene in the field?
- No. This SKU is the Ethylene curve. Order sibling — instead of swapping filters.
- Does 2108B2103H include HART?
- Yes, HART+4–20 mA. HART does not replace the trip pair.
- Can I convert Standard to Sampling on the lid?
- The window kits differ. 2108B2103H is Legacy; the other style is —. Prefer a sampling SKU or flow-housing retrofit kit.
- Is 2108B2103H an XNX transmitter?
- No. 2108B2103H is the Optima detector head. Pairing with XNX needs a separate IR-personality transmitter.
- Can I retap the entries?
- No. 2108B2103H is UL / INMETRO / 3/4" NPT. Other approvals are sibling —.
