Laser Based – In-Situ Monitoring
Measurement Head Breakout
Understanding the components
To best understand if this Measurement Head is ideal for your application, it vital to understand what is included.
The In-Line (ILX) Probe Assembly has the following highlights:
- Process Pressure: While the In-Line (ILX) Probe can withstand higher pressures, there is a spectroscopic limitation on pressure to 100 kpag (15 psig).
- Process Temperature: While the In-Line (ILX) Probe can withstand higher temperatures, there is a spectroscopic limitation on temperature to 150C (300F).
- Other Process Conditions: In general, the gas following through the In-Line (ILX) Probe should be both clean and dry as to not foul the windows.
- Material of Construction: The Wetted Process Connections can be made of either Stainless Steel or Hastelloy.
- Process Connections: The size and physical connection can be customizable from flanged, threaded, or welded.
- Path-Length: Typically, these can range from 0.1 to 0.5 m (0.33 to 1.5 ft) to meet the Detectable Range Requirements.

In-Line (ILX) Probe
In-Line (ILX) Probe
The Components and their Function
The Optical Bench includes the following components:
- Optical Bench: This formulates the Transceiver Configuration that combines the Transmit and Receive functionality in one efficient enclosure. The Optical Bench can slide back out of the In-Line (ILX) Probe Enclosure for easy termination of the Single Mode Fiber Optic (FC/APC Connectors) and Shielded CAT6/5e (RJ45 Connectors) Cables.
- Launch Optics: The Laser Light that travels from the GasFinder via Single Mode Fiber Optic Cabling is Collimated within the Optical Bench and launched from the hole on the Collecting Optics.
- Collecting Optics: When the Laser Light is returned from the Retro-Reflector the Collecting Optics focus the Laser Light onto the Photodiode.
- Photodiode: The Photodiode converts the collected Laser Light into a small electrical signal where the GasFinder will perform its Absorption Spectroscopy technique to very accurately and reliably determine the Path Integrated Concentration within the Active Measurement Path.

- RJ45 Connector: The small electrical signal from the Photodiode is carried to the GasFinder for analysis via Shielded CAT6/5e Cabling.
- FC/APC Connector: The Laser Light is carried from the GasFinder to the Open Path (OPX) Head via Single Mode Fiber Optic Cabling.
- Patch Cable Connection: As part of the Open Path (OPX) Head Assembly, the fittings and lengths of cabling are included.

Ease to Maintain
Replaceable Window Kit
The In-Line (ILX) Probe includes the following field replaceable Window Kit:
- Sapphire Window + Gasket: The kit BL-ILX-WK includes two (2) Sapphire Windows and four (4) Gaskets.
- Easy Replacement: Once the Transceiver-Cover and Retro-Cover have been removed, it is simply a Retainer Ring that affix’s the Window Figures that enable the replacement of the Sapphire Window and Gasket.
