About the GX-6000
Using an advanced detection system consisting of up to six gas sensors, the
GX-6000 sample draw gas monitor is capable of detecting the presence of
combustible gas, oxygen (O
2
), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide
(H
2
S), and various other toxic gases simultaneously. The GX-6000’s rugged,
reliable, and easy-to-use design makes 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-6000 offers a full range
of features including:
• Simultaneous monitoring of one to six gases.
• Choice of three operating modes:
• Normal Mode for typical confined space or area monitoring. Normal
Mode is the standard factory setting.
• Bar Hole Mode for checking of bar holes when searching for
underground gas leaks
• Leak Check Mode for locating leaks in valves and piping
• Sample-drawing pump with up to 50 foot range
• 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 (when used in Normal Mode)
• Alarm trend data (when used in Normal Mode)
