Honeywell Touchpoint Plus Touchscreen Gas Controller

Touchpoint Plus is Honeywell’s wall-mounted gas controller for small detector systems, supporting up to 8 channels (16 with an expansion unit). It has a 7-inch color LCD touchscreen, 3 common status LEDs and 1 LED per channel, datalogging to an SD card, an optional backup battery and optional Modbus RTU / TCP. Polycarbonate ABS enclosure rated IP65 / NEMA 4X, SIL 2 certified.

How does Touchpoint Plus differ from Unipoint and Touchpoint Pro?

Touchpoint Plus differs from Unipoint and Touchpoint Pro in scale, interface and mounting. Touchpoint Plus: a wall-mounted system with 8 channels (16 with an expansion unit), a 7-inch touchscreen, IP65 / NEMA 4X and an optional backup battery. Unipoint: a DIN-rail controller with one detector input per unit, a small LCD, mounted in an enclosure of the user’s choice. Touchpoint Pro: a modular system mounted in cabinets or racks, up to 64 input and 128 output channels, a 5.7-inch touchscreen, ring network and an optional redundant controller.

Order codes

Code descriptions follow CAD’s document. TPPL code structure per the datasheet: B = base unit, A / D = AC / DC power, W = wall mount, A2-A8 / V2-V8 / D4-D8 = mA / mV / mA + mV inputs, S / D = 12 / 24 relays, 4 / 8 = mA outputs, B = backup battery.

Applications

Small-scale gas detection systems across a wide range of industries and applications, from mechanical rooms to chemical plants. Channel grouping and voting alarm logic can be configured without specialist knowledge; the unit can drive actuators, audible and visual alarms and connect to a higher-level management system through Modbus.
