Axetris Laser Gas Detector Improved LGD Compact Module

The first LGD module from Axetris, the LGD F200, was designed as a plug-and-play version, which kept integration costs down. In particular, no additional electrical insulation was required on the module. This design concept proved to be successful, so it was also implemented on the LGD Compact.

More demand for very small and lightweight sensor modules

During product development, increased demand emerged for very small and lightweight sensor modules for wearable applications and compact end devices. So the compact standard version of the LGD Compact attracted a lot more interest than the EMC-compliant version.

More flexible cabling facilitates integration and ordering

Previous LGD Compact modules had a very rigid cable solution in both the standard and EMC-compliant versions. The limited cable radius was cumbersome in many applications and needed more space.

The LGD Compact basic version is also fitted with a new 20 cm short ribbon cable, which the customer can easily cut to the desired length. Installation in confined spaces is therefore even easier. Another benefit for better integration is the 17 mm shorter length of the standard version from 163 to 146 mm. So the LGD Compact from Axetris is the smallest TDLS sensor in its class.

More integration options thanks to a smaller electronic box

The electronic box, delivered with the EMC-compliant version of the LGD Compact, was also improved.
