Description
Product Overview
The Honeywell 04230-A-1025 is a specialized accessory for the SHC handheld interrogator used in servicing compatible fixed gas detectors. It is listed in Honeywell’s Searchpoint Optima Plus operating instructions and Searchline Excel technical documentation as an SHC protection device module and lead. It should be treated as a dedicated service accessory rather than a gas detector, controller, or general-purpose surge-protection module.
In gas-detection maintenance, the correct service accessories matter because the detector’s hazardous-area certification, connection method, and maintenance procedure determine how field servicing can be carried out. The 04230-A-1025 is intended for the specified SHC service arrangement. Its presence in a compatible detector’s accessory list does not establish universal compatibility with every Honeywell gas detector or every handheld interrogator version.
For procurement, check the complete part number and confirm that the module and lead are supplied together. Ask the supplier to identify the intended SHC1 interrogator version and detector family, and request photographs of the actual item and its connectors. Before use, consult the applicable Honeywell instructions for the detector and service tool. Do not substitute an unverified lead or protection device in a hazardous-area maintenance procedure.
Product Introduction
The Honeywell 04230-A-1025 SHC protection device module and lead is an accessory for maintenance work involving compatible Honeywell gas-detection systems. Manufacturer documentation lists it alongside SHC1 handheld interrogators and related commissioning and maintenance accessories.
When replacing a missing or damaged accessory, verify the connector arrangement, lead condition, and intended service-tool compatibility. A correct part number and a complete, undamaged assembly are important before connecting it to field equipment.
