What is an LEL.m
All of these clouds have a Total Path Concentration of 1LEL.m
Industry reports says : Minimum size of a gas cloud which can do any Structural Damage is 5 Metres
Standard Alarms
A1 = 1 LEL.m
A2 = 3 LEL.m
LEL.m indication gives ‘worst case’indication (e.g. all the gas present in 1 metre )
Partnering Industry
SIMPLE - From the above table, if we have a gas cloud of 8 metres distance with a
concentration of 50% LEL, multiply the two to obtain 4 LELm.

Similarly - 5m multiplied by 40% LEL gives 2 LELm.

Benefits of Open Path Infrared Gas Detection
• Reduces quantity of devices
• Reduces cabling & I/O count
• Reduces Power Consumption of F&G System
• Lower maintenance
• No calibration gas required
• Completely fail-to-safe
• Immune to all known poisons
• Faster Response to gas than point detectors
• Compliments point detectors for complete coverage

• Water vapour gives a non-linear
response depending on water droplet size.
• EXCEL measures two references ,
one either side of the Sample Wavelength.
• With 2 reference wavelengths,
there is NO risk of false alarmsin bad weather conditions.

Handheld Alignment software
� Simple to use bar graph� The first line of the display
shows the magnitude of the
current signal level as a bar
graph - SIG.
� The second line of the display
shows the target signal level
received as a bar graph -
TGT.
� Use the horizontal and vertical
adjustment screws on the
transmitter and receiver units
to maximise the bar graph SIG
(signal) value.
� Only allows system to go active
if the target signal level is met
or exceeded
� If signal is too low it displays
� Once optimum alignment is
achieved it displays
� No chance of poor alignment
