Chapter 1: Introduction
Overview
This chapter briefly describes the GX-3R gas monitor. This chapter also describes the
GX-3R Operator’s Manual (this document). Table at the end of this chapter lists the
specifications for the GX-3R.
About the GX-3R
Using an advanced detection system consisting of up to three gas sensors, the GX-3R personal
four-gas monitor detects the presence of combustible gas, oxygen (O
2
), carbon monoxide
(CO), and hydrogen sulfide (H
2
S) simultaneously. The GX-3R’s compact size and easy-to-use
design make it ideally suited for a wide range of applications, including sewage treatment
plants, utility manholes, tunnels, hazardous waste sites, power stations, petrochemical
refineries, mines, paper mills, drilling rigs, and fire fighting stations. The GX-3R offers a full
range of features, including:
• Simultaneous monitoring of one to four gases
• Liquid crystal display (LCD) for complete and understandable information at a glance
• Ultrabright alarm LEDs
• Distinctive audible/vibrating alarms for dangerous gas conditions and audible alarms for
unit malfunction
• Microprocessor control for reliability, ease of use, and advanced capabilities
• Data logging functions
• Alarm trend data
• STEL, TWA, and over range alarms
• Peak readings
• Built-in time function
• Lunch break feature
• CSA “C/US” classified as intrinsically safe (see Table 2 on page8)
WARNING: The Model GX-3R detects oxygen deficiency, elevated levels of oxygen,
combustible gases, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen sulfide, all of which
can be dangerous or life threatening. When using the GX-3R, you must
follow the instructions and warnings in this manual to assure proper and
safe operation of the unit and to minimize the risk of personal injury. Be
sure to maintain and periodically calibrate the GX-3R as described in this
manual.
