RKI GX-2012 User guide

  • Hello! I've reviewed the Quick Reference Guide for the GX-2012 gas monitor. This document provides instructions for the proper operation of the device, including turning it on, performing a fresh air adjustment, flow integrity tests, and handling sensor failures. I am prepared to answer your questions about the GX-2012 and its capabilities as described in the guide.
  • What should I do if the GX-2012 displays 'CAL'?
    What does it mean if the GX-2012 displays 'tESt B--Limit'?
    What should I do if there is a sensor failure?
