Laser Open Path Gas Detector Improves Signal Strength by 50%

May 02 2014

Simtronics (Norway), an IST Company, is pleased to announce that its GD1 Laser Open-Path Gas Detector has been enhanced with a significantly stronger signal, extending the path length distance from 50m (164ft) to 75m (246ft). This 50% increase in signal strength improves the detector’s robustness and performance especially in extreme weather conditions such as ice and sand storms. The fail-safe detector can take up to 98% obscuration without any false readings.

GD1 expands path length distance between detector and transmitter to 75m (246ft), a 50% increase.

The GD1 Laser Open-Path H2S Gas Detector is designed to provide a highly effective response to gas hazards. At the core of the detector is a tunable laser diode that eliminates environmental effects from sun, rain, sand, and fog. The laser scans single absorption lines where there is no interference from outside gases. Unlike traditional methods for detecting H2S MOS or EC cell), the GD1 needs no recalibration and is ideal for open areas and fence line monitoring. The device can be calibrated to detect a wide range of H2S concentrations; from 0ppm.m to 20,000ppm.m, ensuring personal safety. The sophisticated opto-mechanical design is so stable that an exceptional 5 second response time is achieved, providing unparalleled service life and detector stability, thus saving on maintenance and service costs. The detector is supplied with worldwide hazardous area approvals, is suitable for SIL2 applications, and has a 5-year warranty.
