Introduction to GasClam
GasClam is the world’s first in-sit u borehole gas m onitor, suitable for the detecti on of a wide r ange of gasses com monly found in borehole monitoring including m ethane (CH4), Carbon Diox ide (C O2) an d Oxygen (O2). In addition to this t he
GasClam c an detect temp erature, barometr ic press ure a nd borehole pressure.
All of thes e read ings can be take n at user-set intervals, providing an i nvaluable s et of data t o the use r. The defau lt setting f or the G asclam is to take readings every h our, g iving it a pproxima tely th ree mo nths ’ operational life before it
must be co nnecte d to the Gasclam softwa re for data retr ieval. While co nnecte d to the s oftware the sett ings of t he Gasclam u nit can be altered incl uding the frequenc y at which rea dings are logged by the o nboard memory.
In addition to the se nsors already mentioned, the Gasclam can be upgra ded wit h a photo ionis ation detector (PID) for detection of V olatile Organic Compounds (V OC’s), a C arbon M onoxide (CO) sensor a nd a wate r dept h sensor s hould the data be required.

How the Gasclam Works
Batt ery Cha nge
The Batte ries fitted t o the GasClam will last up to th ree mo nths de pending on type of batter ies, t he operat ing temperature and t ime seq uence se lected.
Only change batt eries i n a safe are a.
The batter y compartment is accessed by remov ing the 4 screws f rom the battery c om partme nt lid, see diagra m. To remove t he batteries tilt th e Gasc lam u ntil they fa ll out. R eplace with the stipulated batter ies positive ter minal facing
down.
Optimum battery l ife is based on 1 hou r sampling.
The Gasc lam takes t wo D cell batteries.
NB Do not mix old a nd new batter ies withi n the sam e unit, chang e bo th batter ies at the sa me time . Failure to do so will re duce battery life of the new cell fitt ed.
