Laser Falcon 2 methane detector

SKU IS-PERG-LFALCON-DETECTOR

Laser Falcon 2 is sensitive only to methane, so no false readings of other gases are possible. It is a class 3R eye-safe laser.

The concept is based on Infrared Absorption Spectroscopy.

  • The laser emits light (spectral range of 1,65 μm), which reflects back and is captured by the sensor.
  • The outgoing and incoming signals are compared with the built-in reference cell.
  • If methane is present along the laser path, the laser light is partially absorbed. An algorithm calculates the gas concentration in ppm×m (parts per million multiplied by meter).
  • The value is instantly transferred to the remote control (RC) of the drone pilot and to UgCS software.

Transport box size and weight

  • 210 mm x 210 mm x 150 mm, 1kg

Please note that additional components and software must be ordered to use this sensor with drones. A list of the full set of required items will be provided replying to your quote request ⬇️. Discover the drone-based methane detection technology »»»

  • HS Code: 90271010 (Electronic gas or smoke analysis apparatus)

Recommended auxiliary sensor
