Sieger Optima Plus gas detector

The listed item is the Sieger Optima Plus, part number 2108B2001 (shown as 2108B2001N on some labels), known in current catalogs as the Searchpoint Optima Plus. It is a point infrared detector for flammable hydrocarbon gases and vapors. Infrared measurement is not affected by catalyst poisons and does not need oxygen, which explains its long use on oil and gas facilities, petrochemical units and tank farms in the GCC.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Sieger Optima Plus the same as the Honeywell Searchpoint Optima Plus?
Yes, it is the same detector line. Sieger was the original brand, and the Searchpoint Optima Plus is supplied today under the Honeywell name. A Sieger part number such as 2108B2001 can be checked against the current manufacturer documentation to find the version that matches its approval and entry thread.
How do I identify the right Sieger gas detector version from the label?
Read the full part number, the serial number and the certification marking from the label on the detector body. The part number identifies the version, and the calibration record shows the gas the unit was set up for. Send these with a photo, because similar-looking units can differ in all three points.
Which gases does the Optima Plus detect?
It detects hydrocarbon gases and vapors by infrared absorption, and the gases it can be calibrated for are listed in the manufacturer's manual. It does not respond to hydrogen, which has no suitable infrared absorption, so hydrogen areas need a different sensing principle. State the target gas and range in the inquiry.
Who makes Sieger gas detectors now?
Sieger is part of Honeywell Analytics, which Honeywell formed after buying Zellweger Analytics in 2005. The Searchpoint Optima Plus is still sold under Honeywell.
Is Seven Star LLC a distributor of Sieger or Honeywell gas detection?
No. Seven Star LLC is an independent supplier. We source Sieger-designated and current Honeywell gas detectors through commercial channels, check the part number against the manufacturer's documentation, and provide the manufacturer's datasheet and certificates with the order on request. We state the origin of each item in our offer.
