6.12 Warning and error codes
When switched on, the instrument will perform a predetermined self-test sequence taking
approximately ten seconds. During this time many of the instrument’s working parameters
and settings are checked. If any operational parameters are out of specification or if the
pre-programmed recommended calibration/service date has passed, errors or warnings
may be displayed.
Note: For further information please refer to section ‘10.0 Problem Solving’.

Remote updates
The 5000 range of analyzers (GA5000, GEM5000 and BIOGAS 5000) can be updated to
the latest version of operating software using the free Landtec 5000 updater software. This
allows customers to update their analyzer’s operating software at their convenience rather
than waiting to return the analyzer for service. The Landtec 5000 updater software needs
to be installed on to a PC by a user with administrator rights, it is then ready to be used by
the end-user. A 5K-USB download cable is required along with a PC with access to a
reasonably fast internet connection. This allows the users to check and download the latest
data files from the web.
