GEM5000 gas analyzer 5K-MNL-GEM5000
Inhaling hydrogen-sulfide gas (H2S) or other harmful gases can cause
death. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that he/she is
adequately trained in the safety aspects of using H2S and other
harmful gases. In particular, where hazardous gases are being used
the gas exhausted from the analyzer must be piped to an area where it
is safe to discharge the gas. Hazardous gas can also be expelled from
the instrument when purging with clean air.
Good practice
Travel to site with the gas analyzer in its protective hard case, preferably in the
vehicle's interior - not in the back of a truck, where it may be subjected to extremes
of temperature and possible shock damage. Do not place the gas analyzer against
anything hot (e.g. gas extraction pipe, car body or in an unattended car during the
summer) as this will cause a temperature increase in the gas analyzer and may
cause erroneous readings.
As with most instrumentation it is recommended to, protect the gas analyzer from
strong direct sunlight and heavy rain.
Always use the water trap! If the water trap becomes flooded, change the filter and
ensure all tubes are clear of moisture before re-use.
Note: If the exhaust of a 5000 series gas analyzer is connected to a
pressurized system then this results in a flow of gas out of the inlet
flow port.
8.2 Update site questions
Prior to taking the readings at a particular site, the site questions should be updated. This
is accessed via the ‘Special Action’ menu. The answers to these questions are then stored
and appended to each reading stored thereafter, until the site data is updated for another
site. If using LANDTEC System Gas Analyzer Manager (LSGAM) software this data will be
uploaded to LSGAM along with the reading data.
8.3 Special action
This menu enables the operator to perform additional functions out of sequence if so
desired. The options available may change depending upon ID setup, step in the reading
workflow, and purchased instrument options (Instrument Part Number).
