Detectable Gases

Methane-selective remote laser survey. The ppm·m reading is path-integrated and is not the same as point concentration in ppm.



Product Specifications
  • New System Capable of Measuring Natural Gas Leaks from 30 Metres!
    The new RMLD-CS™ instrument detects methane gas (CH4) leaks quickly and efficiently from a distance of 30 metres in hard-to-reach areas and terrain, reporting leak status information on its colour LCD screen. RMLD-CS™ is sensitive exclusively to methane gas as demanded by field users; therefore, it does not respond to other gases and does not mislead field personnel regarding leaks.

  • Lightweight, Compact, and Ultra-Durable Construction (with IP54 Ingress Protection)
    Providing broad-area methane gas measurement with advanced laser technology, the RMLD-CS™ model weighs just 1.3 kg! Comfortable to carry in one hand, the instrument features a compact design, a battery equipped for hours of measurement on demand, and compliance ratings for operation in demanding field environments.

  • First in Leak Detection! Integrated Camera for Capturing the Leak Point
    RMLD-CS™ is equipped with an integrated camera for leak detection; it photographs and reports the leak location.

  • Location Information with Integrated GPS Feature
    Measurement coordinates are automatically transferred to the system and software via the internal GPS on the instrument.

  • High Connectivity Capacity - Advanced Functionality
    The instrument incorporates Bluetooth 4.2 BLE technology, internal Wi-Fi, dual-mode USB, a 3.5-inch digital LCD screen, internal GPS, a video camera with photo capability, a laser pointer function, mobile application support, and a replaceable battery.


  • Note: The instrument is compatible with MDTVA* software produced by NOVEL. This enables tracking on Google Maps. Please contact our company for detailed information.

    Standard Accessories Ergonomic dual shoulder straps, waist belt, case, charger and adapter, USB cable, 2 batteries, gas calibration test unit, field vest
    Measurement and Standards Approach
    Instrument selection for methane/natural gas leak detection; walking survey, remote optical survey, vehicle-mounted mobile survey, gas selectivity, sensitivity, response time, and hazardous area classification must be evaluated jointly. For products utilising TDLAS or IR technology, current manufacturer performance, safety, and field operating documentation should serve as the baseline. Specific certification or regulatory compliance must be verified independently on a product/model basis.
