Introduction
Application and design
The LS4000 is an in situ cross-duct analyzer for measuring
gas component concentrations. It applies the highly selective
optical measuring principle of tunable diode laser (TDL) ab-
sorption spectroscopy.
The LS4000 is a stand-alone system which consists of a
transmitter unit with a laser light source and a receiver unit
with a photodetector.
Both units are mounted opposite each other on the process
pipe or stack and are connected by a junction box.
Measuring principle – TDLAS
The LS4000 employs the optical measuring technique of
absorption spectroscopy, which utilizes the fact that a
specific gas absorbs specific light wavelengths.
The light beam is emitted from a tunable laser diode located
in the transmitter unit. The laser light passes through the
process gas and strikes the photodetector in the receiver
unit. The measured gas component present in the optical
path absorbs the laser light, attenuating the light received.
A sophisticated signal algorithm processes the amount of
light attenuation and calculates the gas concentration on the
basis of the Beer-Lambert law. The influence of temperature
and pressure variations is eliminated by dynamic automatic
correction.

NOTICE
• The analyzer performance characteristics have been
determined according to IEC 61207-1:2010 “Expression of
performance of gas analyzers – Part 1: General”. They are
based on nitrogen as the associated gas. Compliance with
these characteristics when measuring other gas mixtures
can only be assured if their composition is known.
• All specifications refer to an optical path length (OPL) of
1 meter, tested in ABB’s test and calibration jig. However,
application-dependent variations may occur. The specific
detection limit, minimum and maximum measurement
range for a specific application will depend on the gas
conditions (pressure, temperature and gas composition)
and optical path length. Minimum measurement range,
maximum pressure and maximum temperature cannot
necessarily be realized simultaneously under all
conditions.
• The maximum pressure and maximum temperature given
are physical (spectroscopic) limits.
• Applications exceeding the above given spectroscopic
limitation might be possible on request.
