RMLD-IS
Revolutionary laser technique to check for gas leaks from a distance of up to 30 m
The SEWERIN RMLD-IS (Remote Methane
Leak Detector) is the first instrument in a
generation of laser leak detectors, allowing
the user a completely new method of
operation. The RMLD-IS provides access to
hard-to-reach areas and difficult terrains. Its
laser passes through a methane plume and
absorbs a specific area of the infrared light,
allowing the user to detect the gas leak from
a safe distance. The instrument is
exclusively developed for detecting methane
gas and shows no cross-sensitivity to other
hydrocarbons. The gas concentration is
calculated by the amount of infrared light
that is absorbed by the gas. For example, if the gas plume has an expansion of 1 m and a concentration of
100 ppm, a value of 100 ppm*m is displayed. If the gas plume of 100 ppm is only 0.5 m wide, the
measured value is 50 ppm*m.
The RMLD-IS consists of two interactive components, the transceiver and the controller. The transceiver
has two lasers; the infrared laser is invisible and is continuously active while the unit is turned on. The
spotter laser operates in the clearly visible green frequency range and can be activated on demand. The
RMLD-IS includes integrated self-test and adjustment functions that guarantee correct functioning of the
device. While in use, the RMLD-IS continuously monitors several parameters to ensure that the instrument
is functioning correctly. Should any of these parameters exceed the specified operating limits, an audible
alarm will sound and a fault/warning error message will be shown on the display.
