Remote Detection for Increased Safety
The Gas Laser uses highly advanced technology to detect natural gas
plumes from a remote distance. This makes it safer to scan in areas that
may be dicult to reach such as busy roadways, yards with dogs, fenced o
areas, and other hard to access places.
Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS)
The Gas Laser employs Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy
(TDLAS) technology.
As the laser passes through the gas plume,
the methane absorbs a portion of the light, which the
instrument then detects. Based on the local meteorological
conditions, a given amount of gas escaping from the ground
will produce a plume that varies in size and uniformity of concentration
levels. The plume, by nature, is variable and dependent on the soil
conditions, temperature, wind, and leak rate.
Features
The Gas Laser includes many features which reduce costs and improve
usage. These advanced features include, but are not limited to:
- User Interface - highly optimized
for First Responders
- Internal Data Logging
- WiFi
- GPS
- Bluetooth BLE
- Color Camera
- Color Display
- Spotter laser
- Self Test
- Light Weight
- Rechargeable and Replaceable
Battery
- Dual Charger
- Ergonomic Housing

Beam Skip
Occurs when the IR beam jumps between a near object and a far object.
This may cause a false detection. This can also occur on highly reective
surfaces (windows, water, ice, etc.).
Dark Zone
An area not being scanned due to an obstruction. This may be an elevation
change, the side of a building, behind a curb, etc.
DMD (Digital Methane Detection)
An advanced detection mode which, when activated, will only alert the
operator when there is a probable detection of methane.
Footprint
The surface area covered by the IR beam, which increases with distance. At
100 ft., this area is 22” in diameter when shined against a vertical back-
ground.
Infrared (IR)
Optical radiation with wavelengths longer than those of the visible spec-
trum.
Laser Calibration Drift
A normal characteristic of tunable diode lasers is that the wavelength
calibration can drift slowly over time. The Gas Laser has a built in Self-Test/
Calibration feature to automatically maintain proper calibration.
PPM-M (Parts Per Million Meter)
The product of the methane concentration times the thickness of the
plume.
Spotter Laser
The green, blinking laser which guides the operator as to the location of
the IR beam. This laser can be activated through the left button located on
the keypad.
Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy
A method of gas detection that utilizes a laser that, when directed through
a cloud of methane, will be partially absorbed by the gas and the return
signal can then be analyzed for gas concentration.
