Honeywell Searchpoint Optima Plus 2108N4000N – Standard, Hydrocarbon, ATEX / IECEx, 4–20 mA
2108N4000N is a Honeywell Searchpoint Optima Plus point IR flammable detector (Hydrocarbon calibration), ATEX / IECEx, M25, 316SS, 4–20 mA, with dust barrier + weather housing + deluge shade without RGC. Use this infrared point where catalytic beads poison or the stream is oxygen-free—do not substitute a Sensepoint XCD pellistor.
Siblings: HART 2108N4000H, gas 2108N4001N, style 2108N5000N, approval 2108N4100N.

Why this part number
Optima Plus dual-source dual-beam IR does not need oxygen and ignores silicones. 2108N4000N freezes approval, thread, gas curve and output. Hydrocarbon calibration is not interchangeable; RGC lets you gas the cell without a cup, otherwise order the calibration adaptor.
Spares and mates
2108N4000N is Searchpoint Optima Plus Standard. 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
2108N4000N sits on offshore platforms, FPSO cargo pump rooms, refinery compressor halls and solvent print lines. Light hydrocarbons high, heavy vapours at the pit lip, optics out of wash-down.

Installation and service
Mount 2108N4000N 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 2108N4000N a catalytic LEL detector?
- No. 2108N4000N is Searchpoint Optima Plus point IR. Catalytic beads are Sensepoint XCD or XNX+MPD.
- Can I recertify 2108N4000N from hydrocarbon to ethylene in the field?
- No. This SKU is the Hydrocarbon curve. Order sibling 2108N4001N instead of swapping filters.
- Does 2108N4000N include HART?
- 4–20 mA only; HART sibling is 2108N4000H. HART does not replace the trip pair.
- Can I convert Standard to Sampling on the lid?
- The window kits differ. 2108N4000N is Standard; the other style is 2108N5000N. Prefer a sampling SKU or flow-housing retrofit kit.
- Is 2108N4000N an XNX transmitter?
- No. 2108N4000N is the Optima detector head. Pairing with XNX needs a separate IR-personality transmitter.
- Can I retap the entries?
- No. 2108N4000N is ATEX / IECEx / M25. Other approvals are sibling 2108N4100N.
