Overview
The GX-2012 is a discontinued multi-gas personal detector with 3 operating modes: normal for confined space monitoring, leak check for leak investigation, and bar hole mode for underground leak checking. It monitors combustible gases (LEL/% volume methane), oxygen, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen sulfide with an internal sample-drawing pump reaching up to 100 feet. Features include auto-ranging display, vibration/visual/audible alarms, large LCD with automatic backlight, and interchangeable Li-ion or alkaline battery packs. Weighs 12.3 ounces and measures 5.6″H x 2.8″W x 1.6″D. Available in 1-5 sensor configurations with optional intrinsically safe certifications.
