5K-MNL-GEM5000 GEM5000 Gas Analyzer
1 Introduction
This manual explains how to use the GEM5000 landfill gas analyzer. The GEM5000
measures flow and calculates the calorific values of the gas as well as being a useful tool for
balancing the gas field. The GEM5000 gas analyzer may be used to monitor, calculate,
adjust and record the flow at each monitoring point.
This instrument may also be used in GA (gas analyzer) mode of operation if required. The
operator may change the analyzer between a gas extraction monitor (GEM mode) or a
landfill gas analyzer (GA Mode). The mode of operation can be changed from the ‘Special
Action’ menu. Please refer to the section ‘Taking Readings’ for further instruction.
The 5000 series of gas analyzers complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
1) This device may not cause harmful interference.
2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
1.1 Safety instructions — English
Warning
The 5000 series of gas analyzers can be used for measuring gases
from landfill sites and other sources as described in this manual.
The operator may be exposed to harmful gases during the use of
the instrument. Inhaling these gases may be harmful to health and
in some cases may be fatal.
It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that he/she is adequately
trained in the safety aspects of the gases being used and appropriate
procedures are followed. 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.
Note: Gas analyzers are a sensitive piece of scientific equipment, and should be
treated as such. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer, the protection provided by the instrument may be impaired.

1.2 Instructions for safe use
For ATEX and IECEx the 5000 series of gas analyzers are certified to Hazardous
Area Classification
II 2G Ex ib IIA T1 Gb (Ta = +14ºF to +122°F)
It is vital that instructions be followed closely. It is the responsibility of the operator to
determine the protection concept and classification required for a particular application.
(Reference European ATEX Directive 94/9/EC, Annex II, 1.0.6.)
The following instructions apply to equipment covered by certificate numbers SIRA
11ATEX2197X and IECEx Directive SIR 11.0089X:
. The equipment may be used with flammable gases and vapors with apparatus
group IIA and temperature class T1.
. The equipment is only certified for use in ambient temperatures in the range ( -
10ºC to +50ºC) and should not be used outside this range.
. The equipment must not be used in an atmosphere of greater than 21% oxygen.
. Repair of this equipment shall be carried out in accordance with the applicable
code of practice.
. When used in a hazardous area only use (TP-5000 temperature probe (SIRA
11ATEX2197X and IECEx SIR11.0089X).. The analyzer should not be connected to
any other devices in the hazardous area including the 5000-USB cable (connector
A) or GEM5000 BC battery charger (connector B) supplied with the analyzer.
Do not charge, recharge or open in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
In hazardous area only use “TP-5000 Temperature Probe” in Connector B.
Connector C (Uo=10V,lo=5mA,Po=50mW,Ci=0,Li=0,Co=100uF,Lo=1000mH),
Connector B (Uo=5V,lo=6mA,Po=7mW,Ci=0,Li=0,Co=100uF,Lo=1000mH)
MAXIMUM NON-HAZARDOUS SUPPLIES:
Connector A - Um=6V Connector B - Um=10.1V
. If the equipment is likely to come into contact with harmful substances, e.g. acidic
liquids or gases that may attack metals, or solvents that may affect polymeric
materials, then it is the responsibility of the user to take suitable precautions, e.g.
regular checks as part of routine inspections or establishing from the material’s
data sheet that it is resistant to specific chemicals that prevent it from being
adversely affected, thus ensuring that the type of protection is not compromised.
. The relative pressure range is +/-200 in H20 (+/-500 mbar). Note, however, that
the input pressure should not exceed +/-200 in H20 (+/- 500 mbar) relative to
LANDTEC Page 9
5K-MNL-GEM5000 GEM5000 Gas Analyzer

atmospheric pressure and the output pressure should not exceed 40 in H20 (+/-
100 mbar) relative to atmospheric pressure.

1.3 MCERTS (applied for)
MCERTS is the UK Environment Agency's Monitoring Certification Plan. The Plan provides
a framework within which environmental measurements can be made in accordance with
the Agency's quality requirements. The scheme covers a range of monitoring, sampling
and inspection activities.
The GEM5000 instrument is MCERTS certified only if:
. The MCERTS logo appears on the screen after initial power on.
Note: MCERTS - Cross sensitivity tests using hydrogen sulfide were not carried
out on this instrument. Therefore, users should be aware if H2S is present
on sites, as there may be an interferential effect.
MCERTS promotes public confidence in monitoring data and provides industry with a
proven framework for choosing monitoring systems and services that meet the
Environment Agency's performance requirements.
The Environment Agency has established its Monitoring Certification Scheme (MCERTS) to
deliver quality environmental measurements. The MCERTS product certification scheme
provides for the certification of products according to Environment Agency performance
standards, based on relevant CEN, ISO and national standards.
MCERTS certified instruments have been tested by an independent body to ensure that
they meet certain performance requirements. In addition the manufacturer of an MCERTS
product is regularly audited to ensure that the performance requirements of the
certification are being continually met.
The 5000 series of gas analyzers have been certified to Version 3.1 of the
‘Performance Standards for Portable Emission Monitoring Systems’.

3.2.1 Pitot tube (optional)
The GEM5000 gas analyzer enables the use of a pitot tube to aid with flow
measurement where an in situ flow device is not present. The pitot tube is used for
gas extraction systems and the pressure readings are taken in inches of water (mbar if
in metric). Gas flow is calculated in the analyzer in SCFM (m3/hr if in metric).
3.2.2 Temperature probe (optional)
The GEM5000 gas analyzer has the facility to automatically display and record the
sample temperature via an optional temperature probe.
When a temperature probe is fitted the temperature reading will be displayed on the
‘Main Gas Read Screen’ and recorded with all other data.
Note: Temperature probes with an Ex label are part of the GEM5000 Ex
certification SIRA 11ATEX2197X and IECEx SIR11.0089X, and therefore
certified for use under the same conditions as the analyzer.

3.2.3 H2S filter (optional)
The GEM5000 gas analyzer has the capability to use an H2S filter and is required as
standard if the compensated CO cell is fitted and configured at the time the instrument
is manufactured. H2S gas can have a cross-gas effect on the CO reading. By using a
filter, the H2S is removed from the gas sample, therefore providing a more accurate CO
reading.
The filter only needs to be used when you are trying to get rid of any possible cross gas
effects H2S might have on other gases. Do not use the filter on other monitoring points.
For additional information related to H2S filters please refer to
http://www.landtecna.com.
3.2.4 GPS (optional)
An optional GPS feature is available for the GEM5000 gas analyzer. It enables the gas
technician to automatically locate sample locations using GPS satellite signal from
predefined sample location IDs uploaded from LANDTEC System Gas Analyzer Manager
or set on the analyzer when out in the field prior to taking a reading. The GPS reading
data is stored with each reading providing an audit trail, as it confirms where the
reading was taken.
3.2.5 Bluetooth dongle (optional)
An optional Bluetooth feature enables the operator to set and utilize Bluetooth
technology. This may be useful when downloading gas readings from the analyzer to
the PC instead of connecting the analyzer to a PC via a USB cable. Bluetooth comes
standard on many portable computers. For desktop / stationary computers, Bluetooth
is activated by plugging the dongle into a pc USB port. The analyzer’s Bluetooth
discovery is activated by switching on the Bluetooth discovery option feature in the
settings menu on the analyzer.
3.3 Instrument accessory products
Optional accessory and replacement parts must ONLY be purchased for the
GEM5000 gas analyzer directly from LANDTEC or an authorized distributor. Please
contact [e-mail] for further details on pricing and how to order.
