The Searchline Excel Cross-Duct Gas Detector is an open path infrared gas detector for methane.
It will detect hydrocarbon gas mixtures where methane is the main constituent (>70% of the composition with
the balance being C
- C

Searchline Excel Cross-Duct is specifically designed for use where the path length is between 0.5 and 5
metres for applications such as air intake ducts. It consists of a Transmitter and Receiver unit, and a separate
Heated Reflector Panel.
The detector operates on the principle of infrared (IR) absorption. If a cloud of methane gas is present, part
of the infrared light is absorbed by the gas, causing a reduction in the signal received that is proportional to
the amount of gas in the beam.
The detector output signal is proportional to 0-100%LEL (Lower Explosive Limit) of gas.
Searchline Excel Cross-Duct is suitable for use in Zone 1 or 2 hazardous areas (International) and for
Class 1 Division 1 or 2 area applications (North America).
Note: THE INFRARED BEAM IS INVISIBLE AND EYE SAFE.
