About the GX-2003
Using an advanced detection system consisting of up to five gas
sensors, the GX-2003 sample draw gas monitor detects the presence of
combustible gas, oxygen (O
2
), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen
sulfide (H
2
S) simultaneously. The GX-2003’s compact size 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-2003 offers a full range of features, including:
• Simultaneous four-gas monitoring of combustible gases, O
2
, CO,
and H
2
S (in Normal Mode)
• Choice of three operating modes: Normal Mode for typical
confined space or area monitoring; Bar Hole Mode for checking of
bar holes when searching for underground gas leaks; and Leak
Check Mode for locating leaks in valves and piping.
• Sample-drawing pump with up to 40-foot range
• Liquid crystal display (LCD) for complete and understandable
information at a glance
• Distinctive audible/vibrating alarms for dangerous gas conditions
and audible alarms for unit malfunction
• Microprocessor control for reliability, ease of use, and advanced
capabilities
• Alarm trend data (when used in Normal Mode)
• Data logging functions (when used in Normal Mode)
• STEL/TWA (when used in Normal Mode) and over range alarm
display
