Introduction
Using an advanced detection system consisting of four gas sensors, the
Model GX-2001 Personal Four-Gas Monitor detects the presence of
combustible gases, oxygen (O
2
), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen
sulfide (H
2
S) simultaneously. The Model GX-2001’s compact size and
easy-to-use design makes it ideally suited for a wide range of applications,
as described in the Model GX-2001 Operator’s Manual, which you should
read first before using the GX-2001 Data Logging/Charger Station and
Software.
The Data Logging/Charger Station and Software (RKI part number 49-
2156RK) down loads stored data in the Model GX-2001 to a Windows-
based PC. After the data has been downloaded, you can view, save, or
print it using your computer and the Data Logging Software. The Data
Logging/Charger Station and Software also calibrates the Model GX-2001
by setting the zero and the span. To set the span, you will also need to use
a calibration kit, as described in the Model GX-2001 Operator’s Manual.
And while the Model GX-2001 is placed in the Data Logging/Charger
Station, its battery is recharged, provided the Model GX-2001 has been
turn on.
The purpose of this manual is to explain how to use and set up the Data
Logging/Charger Station and Software. You will learn how to
• install and launch the software
• install the hardware
• down load data from the Model GX-2001
• view, print, and save data
• change data logging parameters
• calibrate the Model GX-2001
Before you get started, be sure to review system requirements in the next
section and to read “Overview of the Data Logging Software,” which tells
you what information the software provides and how it works.
WARNING: The Model GX-2001 detects oxygen deficiency and
elevated levels of oxygen, combustible gases, carbon
monoxide, and hydrogen sulfide, all of which can be
dangerous or life threatening. When using the Model GX-
2001, you must follow the instructions and warnings in
the Model GX-2001 Operator’s Manual to assure proper
and safe operation of the unit and to minimize the risk of
personal injury.
