GX-2003 Gas MonitorBuilt around high-quality micro-sensor technology, the GX-2003 is RKIs smallest personal 4-in-1 gas monitor with a built in sample pump. Weighing only 11 ounces, it has many features which set the GX-2003 apart from the competition. For example, it can monitor the standard confined space gases (LEL combustibles, Oxygen content, Carbon Monoxide, and Hydrogen Sulfide), and it can also measure 100% volume Methane and dynamically display either % LEL, or % volume with its auto-ranging ability.

Features

• Three operating modes:
  Normal, Bar Hole, and Leak Check
• Monitors LEL, and % volume methane, O2, CO and H2S
• Barhole mode tests for peak methane and oxygen levels
• Leak detect mode offers high sensitivity tests for ppm level natural gas leaks
• 0 to 100% volume Methane option
• Auto-ranging display of % volume and % LEL
• Internal sample drawing pump with up to 40' range
• Vibration, visual, and audible alarms
• Automatic backlight during alarms
• Calibration reminder with lock out option
• Ni-MH or alkaline power source (interchangeable)
• Quick charge (complete charge in 90 minutes)
• Glove friendly glow in the dark buttons
• Alarm latching or non-latching
• High impact protective rubber boot
• Up to 600 hours of datalogging with alarm trends
• Autocalibration or single calibration
• TWA and STEL readings with lunch-break mode
• Intrinsically safe, CSA, C/US classified
• 2 year warranty

Applications

• Personal monitoring
• Confined space entry
• Refineries / petrochemical
• Chemical plants
• Hazardous material
• Water / wastewater treatment
• Fire services
• Mining

The GX-2003s large LCD display shows all gas readings, battery level, current time, and will automatically backlight in alarm conditions. This unit also has a special bar hole mode to facilitate locating underground gas leaks. A high sensitivity leak check mode is also included, and provides ppm level detection of gas leaks. A special variable frequency alarm helps to pinpoint the leak without looking at the instrument display. Other standard mode alarm types include vibration, visual, and audible alarms that can be set to latching or non-latching. Controlled by a microprocessor, the GX-2003 continuously checks itself for sensor connections, low battery, circuit trouble, low flow, and calibration errors. The GX-2003 can interchangeably operate on either a Ni-MH battery pack or 3 AA alkaline batteries. The batteries are simple to replace requiring no tools to access the battery compartment. The Ni-MH battery pack can receive a charge directly within the instrument or separately, allowing the unit to remain in service.

Calibration intervals and reminders are user adjustable and can be set to either go into alarm or to lock the user out of normal measurement mode once a calibration period has expired. Calibrations can be performed automatically or individually in single calibration mode. The GX-2003 is also compatible with the economical SM-2003 single channel calibration station.
