2.0 Introduction
This manual explains how to use the BIOGAS 5000 portable gas analyzer. The BIOGAS 5000 is
easy to use, calibrate and configure and enables consistent collection of data for improved
analysis and accurate reporting, while helping to check the digester process is running
efficiently.
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.
2.1 Safety instructions
Warning
The 5000 series of gas analyzers can be used for measuring gases
from anaerobic digesters, water treatment plants, 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 that
appropriate procedures be 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:A Gas analyzer is 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.
2.2 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 = -10ºC to +50ºC)
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.

BIOGAS 5000 Gas Analyzer 5K-MNL-BIOGAS5000
Page 7
(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 GF5.2 temperature probe (SIRA
11ATEX2197X and IECEx SIR11.0089X). And For connector C, the GF5.4
anemometer (BVS 04ATEXE194) for use with ATEX only. The analyzer should not be
connected to any other devices in the hazardous area including the GF-USB lead
(connector A) or GF3.9 battery charger (connector B) supplied with the analyzer.
Do not charge, recharge or open in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
In hazardous area only use “Temperature Probe GF5.2” 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 aggressive 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 +/-500 mbar. Note, however, that the input pressure
should not exceed +/- 500 mbar relative to atmospheric pressure and the output
pressure should not exceed +/- 100 mbar relative to atmospheric pressure.

2.3 MCERTS (applied for)
MCERTS is the UK Environment Agency's Monitoring Certification Scheme. The scheme
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 BIOGAS 5000 instrument is MCERTS certified only if:
The MCERTS logo appears on the screen after initial power on.

BIOGAS 5000 Gas Analyzer 5K-MNL-BIOGAS5000
Page 9
Note: MCERTS - Cross sensitivity tests using hydrogen sulphide 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’.

4.0 BIOGAS 5000 optional products and accessories
4.1 Optional products
The BIOGAS 5000 gas analyzer has a number of optional products for purchase which
enhance the usability and enable further analysis of data and reading information.
Note: For more information on the features listed in this section please contact Sales at
LANDTEC at [phone] or email [e-mail].
4.1.2 BioPro Orifice plate (optional)
LANDTEC recommends the use of orifice plates as good practice when using the BIOGAS
5000 gas analyzer, enabling repeatability in flow measurement via a fixed method.
4.1.3 Temperature probe (optional)
The BIOGAS 5000 gas analyzer has the facility to automatically display and record the
borehole 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 BIOGAS 5000 Ex certification
SIRA 11ATEX2197X and IECEx SIR11.0089X, and therefore certified for use
under the same conditions as the analyzer.
GPS (optional)
An optional GPS feature is available for the BIOGAS 5000 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.
4.1.6 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 lead. Bluetooth may also be used to transfer Site
IDs to other 5000 series gas analyzers if required. Bluetooth is activated by plugging the
dongle into a pc USB port and switching on the Bluetooth option feature in the settings on
the analyzer.
