1 Introduction
1.1. Overview
RLGD-100 the Remote Laser Gas Detector is an easy-to-operate portable device, capable of detecting
methane leaks by just pointing it towards the survey areas. Utilizing proprietary technology of Tunable
Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS), the RLGD-100 detects methane only with no cross-
interference and will not false alarm on other gases. Featured OFFSET function further to eliminate the
methane in air from affecting detection accuracy.
The RLGD-100 detects methane leak in average concentration along sight line of the laser pass from a
remote distance. It enables easy access to hard-to-reach locations, and provides protection for operator and
industrial applications against a wide range of potential leak sources.
