Connected Gas Detector From Honeywell Listens For Gas Leaks

Apr 23, 2019

Honeywell’s connected gas detector listens for leaks ultrasonically, complementing fixed gas detectors to better protect workers and facilities against deadly toxic and explosive gas leaks.

 Gas leaks in well-ventilated areas disperse rapidly and may not be detected by conventional fixed-point or open-path detectors, according to the United Kingdom’s Health and Safety Executive. *Honeywell’s new Searchzone Sonik™ uses advanced ultrasonic technology, including a sealed, piezoelectric sensor unaffected by weather conditions and background noise, to provide instantaneous and reliable leak detection of high-pressure gas leaks.

 Ultrasonic gas detectors are typically located high above the areas they monitor, making siting and servicing the devices challenging. Searchzone Sonik includes an ultrasonic test tool to help choose the proper location for the sensor and an easy-to-use mobile app for streamlined installation, operation and service from the safety of ground level.

 Honeywell’s Searchzone Sonik is suitable for applications that require emergency shutdown and other automatic controls in the production, storage, processing and distribution sectors of the oil and gas industry. The gas detector is easy to install, commission and maintain through an app when paired with an intrinsically safe Android smart phone with Bluetooth connectivity.

Other features of Searchzone Sonik include:

• A Safety Integrity Level (SIL) rating of 2.
• Robust, solid-state sensor design for demanding environments, including pressure wash-downs.
• Factory calibrated – no field calibration required.
• Built-in test and diagnostics to maintain operation.
• High-visibility indicator light shows device status at a glance.
• Universal mount enables pole-, wall- or strut-mounting, and easy alignment with the area to be monitored.
• Plug-and-play module replacement.
