8.11 How to use a temperature probe (optional)
The temperature probe enables the site engineer to measure the temperature of the gas
within a sample point. The GEM5000 gas analyzer uses the temperature of the gas to give
more accurate flow measurement readings as part of the instrument calculation.
Instructions for use:
1) The temperature probe reading is taken along with the gas measurement reading.
2) The analyzer must be at the ‘Main Gas Read Screen’.
3) Attach the temperature probe to ‘connector B’ (refer to section 5.3 – Instrument
connections points).
4) Insert the temperature probe into the sample point (borehole) at the same time as
you attach the sample tube to the sample point (two sample points are required for
the borehole).
5) Follow the instructions on the front of the instrument when taking your gas and
measurement reading.
6) At the point in which the operator presses ‘Enter’ to store the gas reading the
temperature is recorded.
Note: Temperature probe readings can be analysed further when downloaded
to LSGAM.
