The new Geotech GA5000 portable landfill gas analyser arrives in Jan 2012 with a colour-screen and a 3-year warranty. Up-to-the-minute as a new-generation analyser, the GA5000 has mobile phone-style intuitive menus, tactile buttons and it is fast, small and light. With a clear, full-colour, daylight-readable screen in several language choices, the GA5000 is about 25 percent smaller and lighter than the GA2000 which it supersedes. Advances include greater accuracy to ± 0.5 percent.

The GA5000 measures up to six gases without external pods. The three standard gases are methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2). Additional gas options include hydrogen-compensated carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen sulphide (H2S) at high- or low-ranges.

The GA5000 holds 2000 IDs, 4000 readings and 2000 events. Analysis response time is halved to just 10 seconds, saving operator time. With the GPS/navigator borehole-finder option and Geotech Gas Analyser Manager (GAM) software, efficiency can be greatly increased and new users can quickly find boreholes and measure gas accurately. With GAM software a week’s data is downloaded in seconds using a Geotech-supplied USB cable.

At the press of a button, anyone can see context-sensitive operational and user calibration assistance. These technical help screens explain what to do next. Users can pick up a GA5000, select a language and use it with just a brief look at the manual. The mobile phone-style keypad and screen make data entry easy.
