GEM5000 Gas Analyzer
Page 40 of 102
Inhaling hydrogen sulphide gas (H
2
S) 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 H
2
S and other harmful
gases. In particular, where hazardous gases are being used the gas
exhausted from the analyser 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 the vehicle's interior - not in the trunk or truck
bed, 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.
When moving around a site, 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.
