Introduction Introduction 1.1 Overview The LGA4000Z Extractive laser gas analyzer employs a Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) technique for analyzing the gas concentration in a background gas. In this technique, a laser diode emits a beam of light through the process gas. Depending on the...
Introduction LGA4000Z EXTRACTIVE 1.2 Features LGA4000Z Extractive Laser Gas Analyzer can be installed as an in situ component in a sample system. The analyzer features an organic LED (OLED) screen, which has the advantage of low power consumption, a wide angle of view, and enhanced low temperature operation (down to - 40℃).

5. Low drift, less frequent calibration The LGA4000Z Extractive Laser Gas Analyzer has virtually no drift and excellent stability. Span drift has been determined to be ≤±1% FS over 6 months. Also, the time between calibration cycles is very long, reducing the overall cost of calibration.
The LGA4000Z Extractive Laser Gas Analyzer is a high resolution, versatile tool for online analysis and monitoring of a gas flow process. The LGA4000Z Extractive is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications including petrochemical and steel industries where critical monitoring of process gases is vital.
Laser Gas Analyzer Operational Theory Operational Theory 2.1 Introduction The LGA4000Z Extractive has five main components as shown in Figure 2-1: 1. Transmitter Control Unit 2. Transmitter Probe 3. Receiver Control Unit 4. Receiver Probe 5. Sample Cell Figure 2-1: LGA4000Z Extractive Main Components...
Unit also generates a 4-20 mA output signal that is proportional to the concentration of the measured species across the analysis range. The LGA4000Z Extractive Laser Gas Analyzer uses an extractive sampling installation whereby the process gas for analysis is directed through the sample cell entering through a port close to the Transmitter Probe and exiting at the Receiver Probe end.
The Transmitter Control Unit consists of the main board and temperature control board, which are used to drive the semiconductor laser. The Transmitter Control Unit is shown in figure 2-3. Figure 2-3 LGA4000Z Extractive Transmitter Control Unit 2.4 Receiver Probe The Receiver Probe contains the photoelectric sensor, lens, sensor board and other optical components.
Control Unit is shown in figure 2-5. Figure 2-5 LGA4000Z Extractive Receiver Control Unit 2.6 Laser Spectral Scanning Technology The LGA4000Z Extractive employs a laser spectral scanning technology that periodically scans the sample gas with a modulated frequency range larger than the gas absorption spectral line-width.
To compensate for this, the LGA4000Z Extractive incorporates a 4-20mA process temperature and pressure input and uses a proprietary algorithm to ensure measurement accuracy.

Immediately report any damage to the shipping agent. 3.2 Mounting The Model LGA4000Z Extractive is a panel mounted instrument intended for indoor use only. It requires a 24 VDC power source for operation. The components are mounted on a carbon steel backplate. See Figure 3-1 and the Outline Diagram included at the rear of this manual for exact dimensions.
Observe all local and regional regulations regarding exhaust emissions. The analyzer is designed for use in ATEX classified Exd IIC T6 Gb environments with IP66 ingress protection. Figure 3-1: General Dimensions (mm) of the LGA4000Z Extractive 3.3 Gas Connections CAUTION: THE STANDARD INSTRUMENT IS NOT DESIGNED TO HANDLE HAZARDOUS GASES.
The gas path should be as short as possible and pressure and flow regulated to 15-20 psig and 2-5 slpm. Table 3.1 Lists the recommended pressure and temperature for sample (and calibration), and purge gas. Figure 3-2: Gas Connections Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
Ambient temperature °C -20~60 3.4 Electrical Connections The LGA4000Z Extractive Laser Gas Analyzer requires 24VDC power to operate. The instrument supports multiple input and output signal interfaces: relay alarm outputs (3), 4-20mA concentration outputs (2), pressure/temperature signal inputs, and RS485/RS232 protocol.
As soon as power is applied, the unit will power up. After an initial internal self-test routine (approximately 2 minutes), the OLED screen will automatically display the Measurement Screen which is the default or home screen during operation. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
