4.4Orientation
Searchline Excel Plus and Searchline Excel Edge are solar immune and therefore there is no need to take account of
the sun’s movement when considering orientation.
When positioning the units, do not install them with the optical axis at an angle greater than 45° to horizontal. This is to
avoid dirt/water build-up on the windows.
4.5Change in Site Infrastructure
When there are changes in site infrastructure or configuration, which may introduce new sources of gas leak, the user
should review the existing configuration of Searchline Excel detectors and decide if it needs to be adapted to suit those
changes.
4.6Bluetooth Considerations
1. Is use of Bluetooth permitted on the site?
2. Is the mobile device rated for operation in hazardous locations?
3. Is the Searchline Excel installed within 20 m from the place where operator will stand?
4. Is there direct visibility ensured between the Searchline Excel and the mobile device?
