1 Introduction

The purpose of this document is to support the plant operators with commissioning, operation,
configuration and diagnosis of the Searchpoint Optima Plus Infrared Gas Detector HART,
which will be in the following called Optima Plus. The Optima Plus is an infrared point
Hydrocarbon gas detector certified for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. The unit’s
infrared detection principle offers the fastest speed of response and fail-to-safe operation,
ensuring that your plant is compliant, your personnel are protected and your production
process can deliver maximum uptime.

The IR principle allows detection without background oxygen, as required for bead type
detectors, while the plug-in handheld device allows fault diagnosis, change of gas type and
event log access.

The Optima Plus HART device can be configured and operated by a DTM (Device Type
Manager) that provides an easy to use user interface for accessing device variables,
configuration parameters and diagnosis information.

The Optima Plus HART Device Type Manager offers the combination of FDT and EDDL
technologies and a uniform user interface according to the FDT style guide. It is a full-featured
device DTM that carries the standard EDD-Interpreter components to execute the EDD during
runtime. Because it is using existing device descriptions, plant operators will experience a
familiar operating concept in the DTM.

6 Offline Parameterization

In offline mode, the project can be prepared, created and stored without connected
instruments. Later on, in online mode these data can be transmitted to the instruments ready
for operation.

The following pages describe the steps to offline parameterize Optima Plus device with the
DTM. At this time it is presupposed that the DTM installation (§ 2.4) was already done.

In order to get started this function just right-click on device name in the project view on the
left-hand side and select “Parameter” then “Parameterization”:

Offline configuration is the ability to manipulate device parameters without the presence of a
physically connected device (commissioning, device exchange, device data set archiving).
Offline parameters are stored by the FDT frame.

The offline parameterization provides a selection of features which can be found also in the
online parameterization:
