In the realm of gas detection technology, size often dictates convenience and practicality. The GX-3R, weighing a mere 3.52 ounces and measuring 2.2″ W x 2.55″ H x 1.02″ D, revolutionizes the industry as the world’s smallest 4-gas monitor. Designed for portability and ease of use, the GX-3R can be conveniently clipped within a worker’s breathing zone, providing simultaneous monitoring and display of LEL combustibles, O2, CO (with an optional hydrogen-compensated CO sensor), and H2S.
Cutting-Edge Sensor Technology
The GX-3R embodies a significant leap in gas detection with its new generation of micro sensors. The innovative design of the LEL sensor, which includes two active filaments, enhances resistance to silicone poisoning. If one filament becomes compromised, the second one takes over, ensuring continuous and reliable monitoring. Additionally, the electrochemical O2 sensor boasts a lifespan of 3 to 5 years, and the H2S and CO sensors are available in a combined micro sensor for added efficiency.
Unmatched Safety Features
The GX-3R is equipped with a non-compliance indicator, a critical safety feature that enhances compliance and monitoring protocols. This indicator flashes its 3 LED lights every 30 seconds under specific conditions, such as when the device hasn’t been bump tested, calibration is due, or a gas alarm event has occurred. This interval is adjustable, and the LEDs continue to flash until the issue is resolved, ensuring that safety supervisors can quickly identify and address compliance problems.
Compact and Lightweight Design
The compact dimensions and lightweight design of the GX-3R make it an ideal companion for workers who require mobility and comfort. By being small enough to clip within a worker’s breathing zone, the GX-3R ensures that air samples are collected precisely where it matters most—around the worker’s nose and mouth. This targeted monitoring provides real-time data on potentially harmful gas levels, significantly enhancing worker safety.
Comprehensive Gas Monitoring
The GX-3R excels in its ability to monitor multiple gases simultaneously. This includes LEL combustibles, O2, CO (with an optional hydrogen-compensated CO sensor), and H2S. Such comprehensive monitoring ensures that workers are protected against various potential hazards, providing a cost-effective and efficient solution for gas detection needs.
Enhanced Features and Accessories
The GX-3R comes with several standard accessories and features that make it a valuable tool for various industries:
- Standard Accessories: Alligator clip, protective rubber boot, charger, and calibration adapter.
- Advanced Features: Simple 2-button operation, non-compliance indicator, audible, visual, and vibration alarms, user-adjustable alarm levels, impact-resistant body, large auto-backlit LCD display, and up to 25 hours of operation on a single charge.
- Durability: Water and dust resistant (IP66/68), with an impact-resistant body that includes a removable rubber boot.
- Applications: Ideal for personal monitoring, confined spaces, refineries, petrochemical plants, utilities, oil and gas industries, water/wastewater management, fire services, and construction sites.
Datalogging Capabilities
The GX-3R offers robust datalogging capabilities, recording intervals and event logs that can be critical for compliance and safety analysis:
- Datalogging Intervals:
- 10 seconds = 10 hours
- 5 minutes = 300 hours
- 10 minutes = 600 hours
- Logs: User ID, station ID, calibration and bump test history, alarm events, and alarm interval trends.
RP-3R Sample Draw Pump
For applications requiring sample drawing, the RP-3R sample draw pump can be attached to the GX-3R, converting it from diffusion operation to sample drawing operation. This compact, battery-operated, motorized pump enhances the versatility of the GX-3R.
