RKIModel GX-2012 -Multi-Mode Gas Detector for Confined Spaces and Leak Checks

SHARE
The GX-2012 by RKI Instruments is a versatile multi-mode gas detector specifically designed for various industrial applications including confined space monitoring, leak detection, and underground leak checks. This device operates in three distinct modes: Normal Operating mode for confined spaces, Leak Check mode for pinpointing leaks, and Bar Hole mode for subsurface leak testing. Featuring a compact design and weighing only 12.3 ounces, the GX-2012 is built with high-quality micro-sensor technology capable of simultaneously monitoring gases such as LEL combustibles, oxygen, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen sulfide. An optional TC sensor can be included to measure 100% volume methane, with the ability to auto-range from % LEL to % volume. Its intuitive large LCD display provides real-time gas readings, battery status, and time, with backlighting for alarm scenarios triggered by vibration, visual, or audible alerts. The GX-2012 is powered by a microprocessor for continuous sensor diagnostics and supports both Li-ion and alkaline battery packs, facilitating easy maintenance.

With the GX-2012, you have multiple tools in one instrument. Having 3 operating modes, the GX-2012 can be used for confined space, safety monitoring in it’s Normal Operating mode; for leak investigation in Leak Check mode; and for underground leak checking in Bar Hole mode. When equipped with an optional TC sensor, the GX-2012 can measure 100% volume methane and dynamically auto range from % LEL to % volume. This is ideal for line purge testing.

Built around high-quality micro-sensor technology, the GX-2012 is RKI’s smallest personal 1-5 sensor gas monitor with a built in sample pump. Weighing only 12.3 ounces, the GX-2012 can monitor the standard confined space gases (LEL combustibles, Oxygen content, Carbon Monoxide, and Hydrogen Sulfide).

The GX-2012’s large LCD display shows all gas readings, battery level, current time, and will automatically backlight in alarm conditions. Standard alarm types include vibration, visual, and audible alarms, which can be set to latching or non-latching. Controlled by a microprocessor, the GX-2012 continuously checks itself for sensor connections, low battery, circuit trouble, low flow, and calibration errors. The GX-2012 can interchangeably operate on either a Li-ion battery pack or an alkaline battery pack. The batteries are simple to replace requiring no tools to access the removable battery compartment or pack.
