Description
Unlike traditional open-path detectors, the Searchline Excel™ Edge uses advanced optical gas detection technology that performs reliably even in poor weather conditions, including dense fog. It surpasses both NDIR and laser-based systems in long-range visibility and accuracy, offering an unrivalled level of safety and reliability.
Purpose-built for perimeter applications, this detector is ideal for installations at the outer boundaries of your facility. From these strategic locations, it monitors wide areas and adapts to challenging environmental conditions. Its rapid response time and high sensitivity ensure the earliest possible warning of gas leaks, protecting personnel, infrastructure, and operations.
One of the key advantages of open-path detection is its ability to complement point detectors by offering broader area coverage. This makes it more likely to detect any leaks, regardless of the source location. It also delivers an extremely fast response, is immune to gas path blockages, and provides insight into the scale of the hazard. Unlike some detection technologies, it does not rely on precise positioning and maintains reliability even in partially obstructed or dynamic environments.
With a dual beam alignment system for both sample and reference detection, the Searchline Excel™ Edge reduces alignment sensitivity and maintains guaranteed performance even with partial obscuration. Improved software offers intuitive handheld tools for alignment confirmation, signal level visualisation, and seamless integration with existing systems.
The upgraded telescope design enhances alignment precision with a high-power, shock-resistant rifle scope that offers greater zoom and magnification for easier targeting in the field.
From an installation and maintenance perspective, the Searchline Excel™ Edge is designed to simplify deployment and reduce operational disruptions. Its alignment-free design eliminates the need for complex setup procedures, while tolerance for duct flexing and vibration helps maintain system uptime. The built-in functional gas test facility allows for straightforward performance checks, and contamination-resistant optics significantly reduce maintenance frequency. The system is immune to catalytic poisons, unaffected by water vapour, and fully functional in inert atmospheres.
