GENERAL USER INFORMATION 1.1 LGD F200P2 introduction Axetris’ laser gas detector (LGD), “LGD F200P2,” is a system for the continuous monitoring of gases such as NH and (H O), HCl and (H O), CH or CO . Based on state-of-the-art Tunable Diode Laser Spectrometry (TDLS), the system has a very high selectivity to the target gas and features an innovative, patented measurement principle without the need for a physical reference channel.
Dust or condensing water in the measurement cell leads to signal reduction of the sensor. It is therefore crucial to ensure that the measurement gas flow is free of dust and that condensation cannot occur: Axetris AG LGD F200P2 Operating Instructions - Rev D 19.09.2018 12/60...
Prevent any dust, insulation or other material from entering the measurement cell. The main external features of the LGD F200P2 are the housing, the electronics housing, and the gas-in and gas-out connectors. On the inside, the system is equipped with an electro-optic module containing a laser and photo-diode, a measurement cell, and a high reflectivity mirror.
2.4 Setting up for lab evaluation Position the LGD F200P2 module at the location where the measurement will be carried out and where computer, power supplies and gas delivery systems can be installed. For customer support and system service it is ideal if the computer also can be connected to the internet.
First, plug the DB15 connector into the instrument prior to connecting the RS232 and the power supply. Plugging the AC/DC adapter into a 100–240 VAC source turns on the LGD F200P2 (in case another power supply and RS232 cable are used, please keep in mind that it is important that the RS232 cable is a straight one and not the cross-over version.

(i.e. the temperature for which the sensor was calibrated) is important in order to obtain accurate results. This is best controlled by a temperature sensor in the gas flow prior to the measurement cell. Axetris AG LGD F200P2 Operating Instructions - Rev D 19.09.2018 16/60...
(or to 12 Vcc/8A in case only one supply is used). The LGD F200P2 cell (heated version) is protected with an internal safety switch which shuts off the heating elements if the cell temperature exceeds 250°C / 482°F.

Axetris AG LGD F200P2 Operating Instructions - Rev D 19.09.2018 18/60...
(optional) The LGD F200P2 housing is dust-tight but not gas tight. For thermal decoupling reasons, an air space exists between the electro-optic elements and the measurement cell. Under very unfavorable conditions the gas present in this space might contribute to the measurement signal.
Improper venting of the exhaust may cause serious personal injury 2.11 Measurement range and precision Detailed specifications of each device are customer-, application- and gas-specific. Please refer to the respective LGD F200P2 data sheets. Axetris AG LGD F200P2 Operating Instructions - Rev D 19.09.2018 20/60...
…\Installer\Volume\setup.exe Please follow the installation instructions on the screen. After rebooting the computer, the measurement software can be started by the new entry in the Windows start menu (Axetris LGD Interface). The computer may need to be restarted after installation. It is recommended to close all other programs and to save any data before inserting the CD ROM.
Additionally, the interface logs system status information to the computer (“.LGD” file extension). Sending this file to the Axetris support team helps to analyze the behavior of the sensor. The software automatically generates the following path where the log data is stored: “C:\ProgramData\Axetris LGD\Interface_Logg_Files”.

Please adapt the customer calibration first, so that the measured concentration fits to your set points. And then adjust the analog output of your system. Axetris AG LGD F200P2 Operating Instructions - Rev D 19.09.2018 24/60...

Note: The LGD F200P2 module relies on the concept of line locking. Line locking can be achieved by locking on the gas absorption line or on a reference gas line. To ensure a robust and stable gas concentration reading the sensor must be line locked.
5 Volt can be measured either when alarm is configured ‘off,’ or when desired the parameter is within its limits, whereas 0 Volt indicates an alarm condition. Older LGD F200P2 versions may not provide this functionality. For those versions, the item in the mouse menu will not be activated.
2.15 Attaching multiple devices to a single computer Multiple LGD F200P2 gas sensor modules can be operated by the same computer. Connect the sensors one-by-one to the different serial-ports and start a new instance of the measuring program for each of the sensors.
If the instrument is used in an environment where shocks and vibrations are expected, it is recommend the installation of the LGD F200P2 module with the supplied rubber dampers. Figure 26 shows the rubber dampers mounted onto the base of the mounting brackets. The damping works optimally for a screw- torque of 3.5 Nm.
50°C / 122°F. Otherwise the system will overheat and might be irreversibly damaged. Please refer to our TN LGD Temperature Stabilization and our FAQ document for further information. Axetris AG LGD F200P2 Operating Instructions - Rev D 19.09.2018 31/60...

( {D…} ). The D-packets are for internal use only and can only be monitored while working with the Axetris GUI (they can be ignored by the customer in standard sensor operation). When quitting the Axetris GUI to work with the LGD Sensor Communication Protocol, the sensor stops sending D-packets.
4 MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLE SHOOTING 4.1 Maintenance The Axetris LGD F200P2 gas sensor modules will not require routine maintenance when the installation and operation instructions described in this document are carefully applied. The surface of the instrument can be cleaned with a soft tissue and the use of isopropyl alcohol. Any gas filtration and conditioning equipment must be checked and replaced periodically according to manufacturer specifications.
The correct serial port is set on startup If a software problem occurs, it is important to send to Axetris the stored data (*.TXT and *.LGD files). This allows Axetris to analyze the system monitoring data and helps to identify the reason for the problem.
