LM100M
Handheld Explosion‑Proof Laser Methane Detector
Handheld TDLAS-based laser methane detector for remote detection at distances of up to 30 m. The device features IP65 protection, Ex certification, and Bluetooth data sharing for field operations.
LM100M In Brief
Sometimes inspections require a tool that is both powerful and portable, especially when detecting methane or natural gas leaks in the field. The LM100M meets this need. It detects methane from up to 30 meters away using reliable TDLAS technology, allowing operators to inspect hard-to-reach areas without approaching the source. The device is explosion-proof and supports Bluetooth data logging and transfer. With its long detection range and user-friendly operation, the LM100M helps teams work safely and efficiently during routine and emergency inspections.

How LM100M works
The LM100M uses TDLAS (Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy) technology to provide precise methane detection with a tunable diode laser.
- Step 1The laser emits a narrow beam of light at a wavelength that matches the methane absorption profile.01
- Step 2As the beam passes through the gas, some of the light is absorbed by the methane molecules.02
- Step 3The laser beam is reflected off the ground or other surfaces.03
- Step 4The sensor captures the reflected light.04
- Step 5The system calculates the methane concentration by analyzing how much light is absorbed.05

Why methane detection matters
Methane monitoring, especially in urban areas, is essential not just for safety, but also for protecting the environment. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, trapping heat much more effectively than carbon dioxide. Even small leaks, if left undetected, can grow and seriously impact the climate. Regular monitoring helps detect leaks early, prevent dangerous situations, and control emissions in accordance with environmental regulations.
FAQ
Honest answers to important questions
No, each device is designed to detect a specific gas. This provides a 100% probability of leak detection of methane and not any other gas.
Laser radiation is completely safe.
Yes, the instrument works in all weather conditions.
No, there is no impact.
No. The detector contains a reference cell with methane inside and calibration is performed at each start-up and during operation.
It works remotely. There is no direct contact with the hazardous environment.
Yes, because glass transmits the near infrared radiation well.
