INTRODUCTION

The RKI Model GX-94 is an advanced gas detection instrument in use

internationally for personal protection in a variety of industries.The GX-

94 is rugged, compact, convenient, and offers a full range of features,

including:

• Simultaneous detection of two, three, or four gases.The standard

conﬁguration is combustible gas in the %LEL range (HC,) oxygen

deﬁciency (O

), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen sulﬁde (H

S).

• Dot-matrix liquid crystal display (LCD) for complete, understandable

information at a glance.

• Visual and audible alarms for alarm conditions and malfunctions.

• Underwriters Laboratories Classiﬁcation for intrinsic safety for Class

I, Division I, Groups A, B, C, and D hazardous atmospheres.

• Microprocessor control for all functions, including data logging and

user adjustable alarms.

• Compact size.

• Belt clip and shoulder strap standard.

DESCRIPTION

Case

The GX-94 has a high impact, RF shielded ABS plastic case with a rub-

ber guard that also functions as a water-resistant seal between the two

halves of the case.The case has sturdy plastic ﬂanges on the left and

right sides for installation of the shoulder strap.It has an opening on the

top front of the GX-94 for the buzzer sound and it has sensor ports

which allow diffusion through the sensor screen on the top rear of the

GX-94.

GX-94 is carried or clipped on a belt. It contains the display, the touch-

pad buttons that control the many functions of the GX-94, the Alarm

LED, and the light sensor.The display is to the left of the buttons and

simultaneously shows the gas readings for all active channels.The

touch-pad buttons are low proﬁle to reduce the risk of accidental activa-

tion and damage.The functions of the control panel buttons are

described below in Table 3.

Alarm LED

A red light-emitting diode (LED) is visible through a lens located on the

upper right front of the control panel above the buttons.It provides a

visual indication for alarms and malfunctions.

Light Sensor

A light sensor is located to the left of the alarm LED.It monitors the level

of ambient light.When the ambient light level becomes too low to allow
