GX-6000 Operator’s Manual Start Up and Normal Operation • 182
Start Up and Normal Operation
For instructions to startup and use a GX-6000 that includes an ESS-03 sensor,
reference “Start Up” on page 19, “Measuring Mode, Normal Operation” on
page 29, and “Measuring Mode, Alarms” on page 36. Follow these
instructions keeping the following special considerations in mind:
• Some of the gases that are monitored with an ESS-03 may be absorbed in
small amounts in the longer GX-6000 sample hoses. When detecting
gases other than chlorine, do not use sample hoses that are longer than 50
feet without consulting RKI Instruments, Inc. When detecting chlorine, do
not use sample hoses that are longer than 30 feet. If using a hose and
probe to monitor toxic gases, be sure to calibrate the ESS-03 sensor with
the hose and probe attached so that the calibration reflects any absorption
that may be occurring.
• If you are attempting to detect chlorine, be sure the hose/probe does not
have a particle filter installed.
• If your GX-6000 has more than one ESS-03 sensor installed, it is possible
that both sensors will respond to some of the same gases at varying levels.
Make sure you understand any issues like this that may exist in your
particular instrument.
• The SO
2
and HCN ESS-03 sensors include an H
2
S scrubber disk inside
the sensor face. The H
2
S scrubber disk prevents false SO
2
and HCN
readings by removing any H
2
S that would cause a response on the SO
2
and HCN sensors.
