RKI GX-6100 Portable 6-Component Gas Detector
For enhanced safety with PID Sensors
Product Overview
The RKI GX-6100 is a state-of-the-art, portable 6-component gas detector designed for use across a wide range of conditions. It features PID sensors to enable VOC detection and offers simultaneous detection of up to 6 gases, including HC/CH4, O2, CO, H2S, VOC, CO2, and NH3. The device is Bluetooth® equipped, allowing for easy data management via a smartphone app (option).
Key features include:
- Simultaneous detection of up to 6 gases.
- High-performance gas sensors with up to a 3-year warranty.
- Operation for approximately 28 hours with a single charge (approximately twice as long as previous models).
- Detection of combustible gases from ppm to vol% with a single unit.
- Panic alarm and man down alarm functions for worker safety.
Key Features and Benefits
Handy Size
The GX-6100 detector combines portability and functionality, making it easy to carry. It includes a panic alarm and man down alarm to ensure worker safety.
PID Sensors for Rapid Response
PID sensors enable rapid response even for low-concentration gases. They can detect VOCs and a wide range of other gases at low concentrations down to the ppb range, with a gas list of approximately 680 different types.
Risk Assessment Support
The GX-6100, with PID sensors, aids in risk assessments by enabling measurement of approximately 200 different chemical substances covered by risk assessment regulations, providing direct concentration readings.
Compatible with "R Sensor"
Next-generation high-performance sensors offer greatly improved performance and durability. These include electrochemical type sensors with improved basic characteristics and tough construction with excellent toxicity and impact resistance.
Longer Warranty for Peace of Mind
Utilizes R Sensor for outstanding long-term stability, with up to a three-year sensor warranty for the R Sensor series.
Advanced Functionality
Rapid Information Sharing in Emergencies
Panic Alarm Function: Activated manually when a worker senses a hazard or emergency situation, prompting rapid assistance.
Man Down Alarm Function: Automatically triggered when a worker remains motionless, alerting others to an abnormal condition for rapid response.
Bluetooth® Connectivity
Allows on-site information to be shared remotely (Models for EU, US, Canada, and Japan only). Enables real-time alarm notification to remote locations using the dedicated RK Link app.
Easy Data Management via Smartphone
The snap logger function allows easy recording and saving of measurements to the app. Saved position data and gas concentrations can be sent automatically to preset email addresses.
Handy Features for Ease of Use
- Combustible Gas Conversion Function: Models with new ceramic type combustible gas sensors can directly read up to 27 different combustible gas types.
- Screen Display Inversion: The screen display automatically flips 180° to match the orientation of the unit for easier reading.
- Alarm Setpoint Setting Function: Allows users to change/edit settings according to their criteria.
- Confirmation Beep Function: Indicates normal functioning with a buzzer sound at preset intervals.
- Calibration Notification Function: Reminds users of recommended regular maintenance.
