1.1 Proof Test Interval

The purpose of a proof test is to return the unit to “as new” in terms of its safety parameters. The proof test interval is 1 year.

According to IEC 61508, users are allowed to extend the proof test interval to meet their system needs.  Honeywell allows such an extension, as long as the user follows the proper calculation method for  calculating a proof test interval as defined in IEC 61508 for the desired SIL level. This proof test interval will  vary depending on system, hardware architecture and application.

Note: The proof test interval should not preclude more frequent maintenance of Search point Optima Plus in  accordance with the Operating Instructions if site conditions require it.

1.2 Special Notes

1. The HART® Communications and the RS485 link must not be used for safety purposes.
2. Under a certain extremely rare combination of fault conditions, there is a risk that Search point Optima Plus could output >100 mA. Should a customer be concerned about this, it is recommended that a suitable fuse is fitted in the 4-20 mA output line.
3. Searchpoint Optima Plus must be protected from over voltage conditions (i.e. above the supply voltage specification).

2. Proof test using SHC1 Handheld Interrogator

13. Replace the Dust Barrier and Standard Weather Protection.
14. Press Escape then Enter to release the 4-20 mA output signal.
15. Press Escape to return to the main menu.
16. Select Diagnose then Soft Reset to clear any faults or warnings that may have been generated by
cleaning.

2.1.2 Inspection of a unit fitted with a Flow Housing
Searchpoint Optima Plus should be inspected and cleaned.

Caution: Gas readings may be generated during this procedure.

1. Select Calibrate then Display to inhibit the 4-20 mA output signal.

2. Inspect the Searchpoint Optima Plus unit, its junction box and cabling for any signs of physical damage.

3. Disconnect any pipework attached to the flow housing.

4. Using a ½ inch / 13 mm A/F open ended spanner, remove the two black nuts which retain the flow housing. Keep the O-ring seals which are below the retaining nuts.

5. Slide the flow housing off the Searchpoint Optima Plus. This may require some force due to the friction of the O-ring.

6. Clean any dust or contaminants from the optics using mild detergent and a soft cloth or cotton bud.
   Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.

7. Press Escape then Enter to release the 4-20 mA output signal.

8. Block the optical beam (for example using the cleaning cloth)

9. Confirm that a fault is generated on the 4-20 mA output, either locally or at the controller.
   Note: The 4-20 mA output can be monitored either at the control room or locally with a multimeter. When connecting or disconnecting a multimeter, power off the Searchpoint Optima Plus, otherwise the unit will indicate a latched warning that the 4-20 mA loop was broken. If this occurs it can be cleared by performing a Soft Reset.

10. Remove the blockage from the beam

11. Select Calibrate then Display to inhibit the 4-20 mA output signal.

12. Ensure that the large sealing O-ring in the body of the flow housing, and the two small O-rings which go below the retaining nuts, are clean and in good condition. Replace if in doubt.

13. Slide the flow housing over the end of the Searchpoint Optima Plus and push until the flow housing is firmly seated.

14. Re-fit the O-rings and retaining nuts.

15. Press Escape then Enter to release the 4-20 mA output signal.

16. Press Escape to return to the main menu.

17. Select Diagnose then Soft Reset to clear any faults or warnings that may have been generated by cleaning.

18. Press Escape to return to the main menu.

2. Proof test using

SHC1 Handheld Interrogator

2.2 Re-zero Searchpoint Optima Plus

1. Select Calibrate then CalSensor. (This will inhibit the 4-20 mA output signal).

2. Ensure that there is zero gas present in the vicinity of the Searchpoint Optima Plus. If necessary, fit a Gassing Cover and apply zero gas.

3. Press Enter.
   When the process is complete the display will state Zero Calibrated. It will then show options to continue to a span calibration, or to exit calibration.

4. Press Escape to exit calibration.

5. Press Enter to release the 4-20 mA output signal.

6. Press Escape to return to the main menu.

Note: If the option to Calibrate Span is selected in error, press Escape.
