GASSONIC OBSERVER-i

2.2.
Area Monitored by Gassonic Observer-i
The Gassonic Observer-i is configured in either Enhanced or Classic Mode with SPL trigger levels as
low as 44 dB and is capable of detecting 0.1 kg/sec gas leaks at on-axis distances of up to 30 meters.
Illustrated in Figure 1, the detection area is based on actual gas leaks and represents the maximum
coverage of the Gassonic Observer-i without a solid physical obstruction between the detector and the
leak. With an increase in user-adjustable SPL trigger levels, the coverage area is equivalently
decreased. In Enhanced Mode, the ANN algorithm eliminates the need for SPL trigger levels while at
the same time filters out spurious alarms due to background nuisances, thereby increasing the leak
detection coverage in high background noise areas.
Please consult your local representative for more information on area coverage or find more
information in our UGLD Technical Handbook.
