Page 6: General Description
GENERAL DESCRIPTION is a methane selective, laser-based gas detector. The device is based on world- GAS•TRAC LZ-30 leading photonic technology and is designed using the effect that methane gas absorbs a certain laser wavelength, and the absorbing strength is related to the concentration of the methane. The device is a handheld gas detector, for the remote detection of methane and gases containing methane (natural gas and naturally occurring sources of methane). -

PRODUCT FEATURES BEAM DIMENSIONS produces a conical beam of laser light, that starts from the front of the instrument GAS•TRAC LZ-30 and gradually spreads as the distance increases. At the maximum detection distance, 30m, this beam is 8” in diameter. This is depicted in the image below (not to scale). -

SMART-LINK LIVE (PAID OPTION) TRY IT FREE FOR 30 DAYS offers an app (currently Android only) called that can be SENSIT Technologies SMART-LINK LIVE used in conjunction with the GAS•TRAC LZ-30 . This app allows the user to continuously capture live readings from the LZ-30, along with date/time stamps and GPS coordinates. -
Page 12: Sensor Technology
SENSOR TECHNOLOGY GAS DETECTION GAS•TRAC LZ-30 uses open path TDLAS (tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy) technology. The laser generates a specific wavelength of light that is sent through the gas monitoring area, partially absorbed by any methane source, and reflected back to the instrument by the reflection surface. The higher the methane concentration, the larger the absorption will be, resulting in a higher reading. -
Page 13: Explanation Of Ppm•M
EXPLANATION OF PPM•M displays its readings in parts per million meter (ppm•m). This is a representation GAS•TRAC LZ-30 of the average gas concentration over 1 meter, or roughly 3.3 feet. The detection laser of the GAS•TRAC LZ-30 measures the amount of light absorbed by a concentration of gas. -
Page 14: Operation And Use
OPERATION AND USE WARNING ⚠ : When the GAS•TRAC LZ-30 is powered on, the laser module(s) will be energized. 1. Press and hold the ON/MENU button until thescreen illu- minates. The software version willbe displayed during a brief warmup period(~15 seconds). 2. -
Page 15: Operation And Use Tips
OPERATION AND USE TIPS Factors such as line of sight, wind, and sunlight conditions are not something that most operators have had to take into account in the past. This section gives a few tips and tricks for getting the most out of the GAS•TRAC LZ-30 : Federal, state, municipal, and/or company procedures supersede what is outlined in this section. -
Page 16: Shape Of The Detection Beam And Line Of Sight
OPERATION AND USE TIPS SHAPE OF THE DETECTION BEAM AND LINE OF SIGHT Due to the using a point of light for targeting, it can be easy to forget that the actual GAS•TRAC LZ-30 detection path is in the shape of a cone, which starts from a point (the instrument) and gets wider on the path to the target. -
Page 17: Wind Conditions And Plume Size
OPERATION AND USE TIPS WIND CONDITIONS AND PLUME SIZE Since the path of the laser has to pass through the methane plume for detection, wind conditions can greatly affect how the instrument operates. Because of this, especially when scanning a large area, it makes sense to have a plan of attack. - Page 18 Additionally, the operator can use laser enhancement glasses. This can increase the contrast of the targeting laser, making it easier to see against certain backgrounds. Below is a view with and without these glasses.
