HEATH Remote Methane Leak Detector-FR (RMLD-FR)

The RMLD – First Responder (RMLD-FR™), allows for the rapid scan of standard venting points inside a structure from a safe distance to establish the presence of methane gas by first responder and fire service personnel. The instrument is based on Heath Consultants’ popular RMLD legacy and RMLD-CS™ designs, with many of the same functionality and features as the RMLD-CS version but with a streamlined user interface.

Most often, first responders/fire service are called to address fire and major natural gas emergencies, using equipment that places them too close to possibly harmful structures.

Technical Overview

The remote detection of the RMLD-FR enables the operator to shine the beam through most windows, providing them a visual and audible signal regarding the presence of methane gas. This rapid scan allows first responders to make quick decisions and establish control of the gas and ignition sources if a detection is present.

The RMLD‑FR™ is a handheld remote methane leak detector that uses tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) to identify methane gas at a distance up to approximately 100 ft (30 m), with a sensitivity of 5 PPM‑M. It weighs about 3 lb, runs on a removable, rechargeable lithium‑ion battery for roughly 8 hours, and features a 3.5″ colour LCD with integrated color camera and graphical user interface in an IP54‑rated housing for outdoor use. The instrument logs methane readings, GPS data, timestamps, and battery information to internal memory and includes built‑in self‑test functionality with an integrated test gas cell in the carrying case.
