2. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The LAS 5000XD uses Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy for monitoring gases. The LAS
5000XD is a calibration-free gas monitoring system. The targeted molecule absorption line is rapidly
scanned at rates of up to kHz frequencies.
The light emitted from a single-mode laser source is directed through the gas to be measured. As the
laser frequency is tuned, the intensity of light received by the LAS 5000XD Receiver varies depending
on the concentration, temperature and pressure of the targeted gas.
Transmitter Receiver
Transmittance
Laser output
I0 It
The laser light emitted is tuned by varying the current supplied to the laser. A wavelength range of a few
nanometers is monitored, a range which includes absorption features of the monitored gas.
The absorption of light follows the Beer-Lambert law, shown in equation 1:
𝐼 𝜆 , ,
𝑇 𝜆 𝑒
𝐼 𝜆
𝛼 𝜆, 𝑃, 𝑇 𝑆 𝜆, 𝑇 𝐶 𝑓 𝜆, 𝑃, 𝑇
Where:
– 𝑆 𝜆, 𝑇 is the absorption line intensity (cm‐1/molecule.cm‐2), depends on the wavelength, 𝜆 and
temperature, 𝑇
– 𝐶 is the concentration of the absorbing molecule (molecule/cm3)
– 𝑓 𝜆, 𝑃, 𝑇 is the normalized line profile (cm), depends on the wavelength λ , pressure 𝑃 and
temperature 𝑇
DECEMBER 2022
19
ENVEA LAS 5000XD Duplication prohibited
Unlike other optical gas measurement techniques, the LAS 5000XD uses a full spectrum technique by
tuning the laser wavelength over the absorption feature. This allows every measurement to use a
normalised spectrum, ensuring that attenuation due to fouling on windows or by particulates do not affect
the reported concentration. The following chart shows a typical normalised spectrum.
0.9999
Transmittance
Transmittance
0.9998
0.9997
0.9996
In the LAS 5000XD signal processing method, the linestrength is continuously adjusted for a measured
gas temperature. Changes in pressure are also continuously normalised.
The absorption spectrum is processed by fitting the mathematically described peak lineshape to the
recorded spectrum. This is a powerful pattern matching algorithm that finds the best fit of the absorption
feature to the recorded spectrum. By applying the linestrength, temperature and pressure parameters
to the results of this peak fitting procedure, an accurate gas concentration can be determined.
Absorption spectra contain a large amount of information about the gas being measured and,
importantly, about the quality of the measurement, enabling the health of the LAS 5000XD to be
continuously monitored. The standard deviation of the residual of the recorded spectrum and the fitted
lineshape is a key indicator of the measurement quality. This measurement quality is obtained for every
concentration measurement and is a reliable indicator of measurement confidence to the user.

3.3. CALIBRATION
The LAS 5000XD is set up at the factory to measure and report concentration correctly. To check the
accuracy of the LAS 5000XD, there are two available methods: an in-line span check cell or an audit
cell.
– In-line span check cell: Install the in-line span check cell on the duct. Test with a flow of a calibrated
gas mixture.
– Audit cell: Mount the LAS 5000XD audit cell periodically to check the accuracy of the LAS 5000XD.
For more information about how often your LAS 5000XD needs calibrating, contact ENVEA or your local
ENVEA representative.
The audit cell, in the following image, is made from 316L stainless steel. For reactive gases (e.g. NH3
or HCl) there is a fluoropolymer coated option. The audit cell can include gas temperature and pressure
sensors. The temperature and pressure sensors are optional but will enable the most accurate results.

ENVEA LAS 5000XD Duplication prohibited
To check the operation and response of the LAS 5000XD an in-line span cell can be used. A known gas
concentration is injected into the cell and adds a fixed offset to the reported process concentration. Only
non-flammable and non-corrosive gases should be introduced into the in-line span check cell to prevent
damage and to prevent a flammable risk.
For the span check a cylinder with a concentration of at least 15x the expected process concentration
is recommended. This will result in a fixed increase in the reported process concentration. However, the
increase will be less than the injected cylinder value.
This difference in concentration is due to the temperature of the span gas as the LAS 5000XD is set to
measure at the process temperature and the path length of the span cell is shorter than the process
value set in the LAS 5000XD parameters.
As both the process temperature and path length can be set by the user and will depend on the
installation, the reported span concentration will vary. For help in estimating the measured span
concentration please contact your local ENVEA representative.

Mount the in-line span check cell between the Receiver and the alignment bellows. The following
diagram shows an exploded view of in-line span check cell and an LAS 5000XD.
Check the alignment of the LAS 5000XD after installing the in-line cell, see sections 3.1.3.3 and 3.2.2.
The recommended tools for mounting the in-line span cell are the followings :
– 5 mm-Allen key, used for the set screws on the alignment bellows.
– 12 mm-spanner used for gas connections.
The in-line cell is supplied with ¼” stainless steel compression fittings and these can be exchanged for
any suitable fitting with a 1/8” BSPT (JIS Rc) thread.
Connect the in-line cell to the flow circuit as shown below. The use of PFA tubing (or similar) is
recommended. The flow schematic shown provides a method to flow span gas to the in-line cell and
then purge with instrument air. The instrument air should be dry, oil and particulate free.

ENVEA LAS 5000XD Duplication prohibited
The recommended minimum flow rate should be 4 L/min, the flow rate is dependent on the lengths of
tubing required for the installation and the span gas used (NH3 and HCl may require higher flow rates).
The reported span concentration will vary with the process concentration so the span check should
coincide with a stable process period if possible.
The time required to reach a stable level will depend on the tubing length, span gas and the ambient
temperature but a minimum of 5 minutes is recommended. The span/purge process can be repeated by
turning the 3-way valve as required. The time interval between span checks can vary and for assistance
please contact your local ENVEA representative.
The span cell should be purged with instrument air for a minimum of 15 minutes after the final span
check. The flow rate can then be reduced to zero.

In the ANALOG OUTPUT 1 section, set the TEST MODE field to ON and click on the button to
confirm. Enter 4 mA in the TEST VALUE field and click on to confirm, or press down the
button to directly set the minimum range value to 4 mA. It is therefore necessary to
set the analog output 1 of the JUNCTION BOX to match the 4 mA with the MIN DAC VALUE of the
corresponding analog output.
To do this, locate this output on the JUNCTION BOX (out ana 1, in this case). Then, using a mA/A-set
multimeter (1), place the black test probe on the GND (2) and the red test probe on the output-ana 1 (3).
The reading on the multimeter should equal 4 mA (4).
If this is not the case, it is necessary to decrease or increase the value of the MIN DAC VALUE field and
