1. Safety Parameters
The Searchpoint Optima Plus safety parameters listed below were provided by TÜV in report
968/EZ 559.00/12.
SFF PFDavg PFH
> 90% 2.13x10-4 4.87x10-8
SFF: Safe Failure Fraction. A percentage of safe failures as compared to all failures
PFDavg: Average probability of failure to perform its design function on demand
PFH: Probability of a dangerous failure per hour
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 dened 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 Searchpoint 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 Searchpoint Optima
Plus could output >100 mA. Should a customer be concerned about this, it is recommended that a
suitable fuse is tted in the 4-20 mA output line.
3. Searchpoint Optima Plus must be protected from over voltage conditions (i.e. above the supply voltage
specication).

Use these proof test instructions if the SHC1 Handheld Interrogator is
being used to communicate with Searchpoint Optima Plus.
Note: The instructions that follow assume that the SHC1 is connected to the Searchpoint Optima Plus and
switched on, in Optima+ mode, in the Main Menu. See the Searchpoint Optima Plus Operating Instructions,
2108M0550, for further information about the operation of the SHC1 Handheld Interrogator.
2.1 Inspection
2.1.1 Inspection of a unit tted with a Standard Weather Protection
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.

3. Using a ½ inch / 13 mm A/F open ended spanner, unscrew the two retaining nuts and remove the
Standard Weather Protection.
4. Inspect the Standard Weather Protection for damage or build up of debris / contaminants. If required,
clean or replace weather protection.
5. Inspect the Dust Barrier and clean or replace if required.
