GA5000

INTRODUCTION

This manual explains how to use the GA5000 landfill gas analyser. The GA5000 is designed to meet all current

demands for landfill & Brownfield site monitoring protocols set by government legislation in Europe and the

United Kingdom. Utilised with dedicated software, the GA5000 becomes an extremely powerful detection,

monitoring and change indicator tool.

Safety instructions

The 5000 series of gas analysers 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 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.

The instrument has been designed to be used in explosive atmospheres as defined by the

classification. The instrument can be configured to measure low levels of several gases, but may not

be certified for use in potentially explosive atmospheres of these gases. It is the responsibility of the

operator to determine the protection concept and classification of equipment required for a

particular application and whether these gases create a potentially explosive atmosphere.

Note: Gas analysers 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.

For ATEX and IECEx the 5000 series of gas analysers are certified to Hazardous Area Classification

II 2G Ex ib IIA T1 Gb (Ta = -10ºC to +50ºC)

It is vital instructions are 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 2014/34/EU)

The following instructions apply to equipment covered by certificate numbers SIRA 11ATEX2197X and IECEx SIR

11.0089X:

 The equipment may be used with flammable gases and vapours with apparatus group IIA and

temperature class T1.

Page 11 of 126

Operating Manual

www.geotechuk.com OMGA5KN Iss.09

GA5000

 The equipment can contain gas sensing heads for the detection of particular gases. The inclusion of a

sensor does not infer that the equipment is suitable for the use of gases with a temperature class of less

than 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). For connector C, the GF5.4 anemometer (BVS 04ATEXE194) for use with ATEX only. The

analyser 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 analyser.

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

 The safe area apparatus that is to be connected to the USB Port shall be a Safety Extra Low Voltage

(SELV) or Protective Extra Low Voltage (PELV) circuit.

 Only a QED Environmental Systems battery pack part number 20087 or 2011113 is permitted as a

replacement. This battery pack shall only be changed in a safe area by QED personnel or authorised

distributors.

 Only Battery Charger type GF3.9 shall be used to recharge the batteries via Connector ‘B’.

 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.

MCERTS

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.

GA5000

Note:

MCERTS

-

Cross sensitivity tests using hydrogen sulphide were not c

arried 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 analysers have been certified to Version 3.1 of the ‘Performance Standards for Portable

Emission Monitoring Systems’.

CIRIA

The CIRIA guideline ‘Assessing the risks posed by hazardous ground gases to buildings’ proposes that gas

concentrations and flow rates should be monitored.

As an example methodology, they suggest using a gas analyser to first measure flow and pressure and then

afterwards to measure gas concentration.

The logging profile option offers frequency of data to be collected within a timed period which, in return,

identifies a gas profile of the sample point being monitored, information about whether the sample point is

performing correctly, when the peaks occur and whether air is drawn in after a certain period. This logging

option is available on firmware software version 1.6.5

Versions of the GA5000 analyser range with internal flow on firmware version 1.6.5 and above have the ability to

take measurements according to the CIRIA guidelines, while still allowing other users to take the measurements

as before.

Radio Transmitting Devices

The GA5000 may contain a Bluetooth module for the transmission of data wirelessly. The specification for the

Bluetooth module is as follows:

Transmit Frequency

2

402 to 2480MHz

Output Power

+6dBm (4mW)

In addition, the gas analyser 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.

Temperature probes with an Ex label are part of the GA5000 Ex certification

SIRA 11ATEX2197X and

IECEx SIR11.0089X, and therefore certified for use under the same conditions as the analyser.

Anemometer (optional)

The GA5000 gas analyser has the facility to automatically display and record high flow via an optional

anemometer probe. It is designed to plug into the instrument and instantly provide a flow indication. An

anemometer probe adds flow measurements to the professional reporting ability of the GA5000 range along

with gas concentrations, pressure and temperature.

The anemometer has a simple connection, a narrow diameter measurement head (11mm), a wide temperature

operating range (up to 80 °C) and indicates flows up to 40 m/sec.

When an anemometer probe is fitted to the analyser the flow will be displayed in the ‘Main Gas Read Screen’

and recorded with all other data.

Flow can be measured in either m/s (gas velocity) or m3/hr (volume flow rate). In order to calculate the volume

flow rate the pipe diameter will need to be entered into the instrument, either manually or via the Gas Analyser

Manager software.

Note:

The anemometer probe is ATEX certified for use in a potentially explosive atmosphere under

Ex

certificate BVS 04ATEXE194.

H2S filter (optional)

The GA5000 gas analyser 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 all boreholes.

Gas analyser manager – GAM (optional)

Gas Analyser Manager (GAM) enables the operator to maximise the operation of the gas analyser. It enables

direct communication with the unit, features a simple upload and download facility and is fully compatible with

the latest Microsoft™ operating systems.

Features:

 Organisation and transfer of borehole IDs and readings to and from the gas analyser.

 Configuration of the gas analyser.

 Flexible grouping of the IDs.

 Structured organisation of transferred data.

 Automatic detection of instrument type and available options.

 Secure data mode to prevent tampering.

 First time set-up wizard.

 Enable flow measurements for GA5000 gas analysers.

GPS (optional)

An optional GPS feature is available for the GA5000 gas analyser. It enables the site engineer to automatically

locate borehole IDs using GPS satellite signal from predefined borehole IDs uploaded from Gas Analyser

Manager or set on the analyser when out in the field prior to taking a reading. The GPS reading data is stored for

each measurement reading providing an audit trail confirming that a reading was taken.

Bluetooth (optional)

An optional Bluetooth feature is available for the GA5000 gas analyser. It enables the operator to download

readings and upload IDs without the need to connect the analyser to a PC via a USB lead.

Internal Flow (optional)

The GA5000 gas analyser has the capability to measure the gas flow from a borehole without the need for an

additional flow pod. The user is automatically prompted to take this measurement during the normal reading

sequence. This function can be selected as ‘On’ or ‘Off’ for each ID using Gas Analyser Manager. If it is off the

user will not be prompted to measure the flow.
