  • Page 8: Intended Use

    ● Handle the product carefully and safely, both during transport and operation. ● Do not make any changes or modifications to the product un- less these have been expressly approved by Hermann Sewerin GmbH. ● Do not use the product if it is damaged or faulty. Never use damaged or defective accessories.
  • Page 9 Laser The measurement laser is an invisible Laser Class 1 infrared laser. Lasers in this category are harmless when the product is used as intended. ● However, do not look into the laser beam because blinding, impairment of colour vision or irritation cannot be excluded. The target laser is part of Laser Class 2.
  • Page 10: Product Description

    Product description General information The SR-LD 200 Detector works according to the TDLAS method and has been designed for the remote detection of methane. A laser beam emitted by the detector is reflected by a surface (e.g. wall, ground, pipeline). If there is methane along the measur- ing section, the methane will absorb the laser beam signal.

    Fig. 4: Warning on the detector Meaning: laser radiation. Class 2 laser. Do not look into the laser beam! Note: The warning does not show all laser classes but just the highest. Fig. 5: Lasers 1 Measurement laser, 2 Target laser, 3 Reflective surface 2.2.2 Sight The detector features a red dot sight.
  • Page 12: Power Supply

    2.2.3 Power supply The detector is powered by a lithium-ion rechargeable battery. The rechargeable battery is integrated in the handle. Information about charging the rechargeable battery can be found in section 6.2.1. 2.2.4 Adjustment unit The adjustment unit consists of a gas tank fixed in a plastic block. The gas tank contains adjustment gas.
  • Page 13: Measuring Mode And Menu

    Measuring mode and menu 2.3.1 Measuring mode When switched on, the detector is automatically in measuring mode. To perform a measurement, the lasers must be switched on manually. As soon as the lasers are switched on and the measurement laser meets a reflective surface, the following measurement values can be seen on the display: ●...

  • Page 15: Modes

    The top level of the menu is the main menu. The main menu comprises the following menu items: ● Settings (section 5) ● Adjustment (section 6.1.1) ● Reset (section 3.6.3) Modes The detector can be operated in various modes. The various modes are suitable for use based on different distances.
  • Page 16: Measured Variable And Unit

    Measured variable and unit The detector measures the gas concentration along the measur- ing section. The gas concentration is specified in ppm, the size (length) of the gas cloud in metres. The unit of the measured variable is therefore: ppm•m (concentration multiplied by length) Integral gas concentration The measured variable is described as integral gas concentra- tion.1 The integral gas concentration depends on the following:...
  • Page 17 In addition, the naturally occurring methane (~1 ppm) in the ambi- ent air affects the measurement value. The impact of the natural methane increases the further the distance between the laser and the reflective surface. The natural methane content along the measuring section must be deducted from the measurement value.
  • Page 18: Operation

    Operation Key functions Depending on the situation, the keys have different functions. When switched off Actions On/Off key – Switch the detector on (long press) In measuring mode Actions On/Off key – Switch the laser on and off (short press) –...
  • Page 19: Switching The Detector On/Off

    Switching the detector on/off Switching on The detector is switched off. 1. Press the On/Off key until the start image (fig. 10) appears. 2. Wait until you can hear an audible signal. The detector is in measuring mode (fig. 2, top picture). The lasers are switched off.
  • Page 20: Switching Mode

    For safety reasons, SEWERIN recommends the following: switch off the lasers temporarily when the detector is switched on but you are not in the process of detecting. CAUTION! Risk of injury from laser radiation Class 2 lasers can cause eye damage.

    3. Select Audio. 4. Change the setting as required. 5. Press the On/Off key to apply the setting. 3.6.3 Resetting to factory settings The current settings can be reset to factory settings at any time. Information about the factory settings can be found in section 8.3. Note: The settings will be reset without prompting you for confirmation.
  • Page 23: Aiming At The Target

    Aiming at the target When detecting methane, the target to be aimed at is usually a suitable reflective surface. The leak is assumed to be in front of the reflective surface (fig. 9). There are two ways of aiming at the target: ●...

  • Page 25: Detection Of Methane

    Detection of methane Requirements In order to successfully detect methane using the detector, the following requirements have to be met: ● there is methane along the measuring section (detection report) ● the laser must aim through the methane cloud ● there is a reflective surface Influences on the measurement result The following factors influence the measurement result: ●...
  • Page 26: Measuring The Gas Concentration

    ● Ambient conditions Wind as well as high ambient temperatures can result in the gas evaporating. Consequently, a methane concentration that is too low will be measured or none at all. Measuring the gas concentration To measure the gas concentration, the requirements (section 4.1) must be met.
  • Page 27 ● Detection in the case of polyethylene pipelines with a diameter less than 20 millimetres and a very low wall thickness: the de- tector may measure the gas concentration inside the pipeline. ● there are obstructions along the measuring section (fig. 13 and 14).
  • Page 28: Settings

    Settings The following settings can be configured for the detector: ● Alarm 1 (alarm threshold) ● Alarm 2 (alarm threshold) ● Offset (moving the zero point) ● Audio (audible signal for alarm threshold) ● Language Alarm 1 and Alarm 2 The alarm thresholds can be configured under the menu items Alarm 1 or Alarm 2.
  • Page 29: Offset

    Offset The measurement laser’s zero point can be changed to offset an existing basic concentration of methane under menu item Offset. Note: Configure the offset for a higher value than zero only if there is a known basic concentration of methane in the measurement environment.
