The GX-2012 series of multi-gas detectors by RKI Instruments are highly versatile and reliable devices designed for detecting multiple gases in various industrial applications. These detectors are compact, lightweight, and equipped with advanced micro-sensor technology, making them ideal for monitoring confined spaces, leak detection, and bar hole testing.

Key Features:

• Multi-Gas Detection: The GX-2012 can simultaneously monitor up to five gases, including LEL (Lower Explosive Limit), oxygen (O2), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S). An optional thermal conductivity sensor allows for the detection of methane up to 100% volume.
• Operating Modes: The device features three distinct operating modes: Normal (for confined spaces), Leak Check, and Bar Hole. This makes it versatile for various testing and monitoring scenarios.
• Durable and Safe: The GX-2012 is built with a high-impact, dust, and water-resistant plastic case with protective rubber overmolding. It is intrinsically safe and certified by ATEX, IECEx, and CSA, making it suitable for use in hazardous environments.
• Alarm System: The detector includes multiple alarm types, such as visual, audible, and vibrating alarms, ensuring that users are promptly alerted to dangerous gas levels. The alarms can be configured to be latching or non-latching.
• Battery and Power: It operates on either a rechargeable Li-ion battery pack or an alkaline battery pack, both of which are easily interchangeable. The battery life ranges from 10 to 15 hours, depending on the type used.
• User-Friendly Interface: Featuring large, glove-friendly buttons and a bright LCD display, the GX-2012 is easy to operate even in challenging conditions. The display automatically backlights during alarms for better visibility.

Applications:

• Confined Space Monitoring: Ensures safety in enclosed spaces by detecting hazardous gases.
• Leak Detection: Suitable for pinpointing leaks in gas lines and other equipment.
• Bar Hole Testing: Ideal for underground leak detection, particularly in pipeline industries.
