  • Page 9: General User Information

    1 GENERAL USER INFORMATION 1.1 LGD Compact introduction Axetris’ laser gas detector (LGD), “LGD Compact”, is a system for the continuous monitoring of gases such as CH , C2H6, C2H2 and 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.

    Default measurement time is roughly 1 s (user changeable to up to 600 s integration time or “averaging”). The LGD Compact has a start-up time of 30 s to give a correct concentration reading. For any shipments of the system it is recommended to retain and re-use the original shipment material, which has been tested and proven to be effective protection.
  • Page 13: Sensor Module

    Sensor module The LGD Compact-A module has two M4 threaded mounting holes located on the side of the sensor (see Figure 2, recommended to use two pan head cap screw M4x16 (1.5 Nm) for mounting). For gas supply there are straight/angled QSML-M5-4 quick connectors for 4 mm diameter tubes.

    Windows may identify the device as a serial mouse and the LGD cannot connect from the interfacing software. Position the LGD Compact 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.

    (TTL) 2.4 Gas conditioning and filtering information The LGD Compact Gas Sensor Modules are based on an optical measurement technique where performance is directly linked to optical transmission through the measurement cell. Sample gas containing particles and aerosols are likely to contaminate the optical windows of the measurement cell and degrade the optical transmission more or less quickly.

    In case of air being used for the zeroing, make sure your device is not measuring CO2 as air may contain few hundreds ppm of CO2 that will lead to a wrong value for the offset. Axetris AG LGD Compact Integration Guide V1.8 04.12.2019 20/34...

    3.1 Integration options In order to facilitate the integration of the LGD Compact-A module into a customer-specific device or instrument, the electronics housing as well as the interface board can be removed and the module can be operated with the main board only. In this case, an appropriate shielding aiming to avoid signal interferences as well as the EMC conformity has to be fulfilled by the integrating Original Equipment Manufacturer itself.

    With electronics housing The shielding of the electronics and the LGD Compact-A module is realized as shown in Figure 15. Figure 15 Shielding concept with electronics housing Figure 16 shielding via mounting screws of electronic housing The shielding connection of the electronics boards and the sensor module is done over the electronics housing.
