With the GX-2012, you have multiple tools in one instrument
Ideal for residential investigations, 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)
Having 3 operating modes, the GX-2012 can be used for confined space, safety monitoring in its Normal Operating mode; leak investigation in Leak Check mode; and 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.
GX-2012 Gas monitor operation
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.
Calibration and bump test 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 a single calibration mode. The GX-2012 is also compatible with the economical SDM-2012 single channel calibration station.

QUICK TIP:
Responding to Alarms
This section describes response to gas, over range, battery, and sensor failure alarms.
Responding to Gas Alarms
1. Determine which gas alarm has been activated.
2. Follow your established procedure for an increasing gas condition or a decreasing
oxygen condition.
3. If necessary, reset the alarm using the RESET SILENCE button once the alarm
condition has been cleared.
