RKI GX-6100 Portable Gas Monitor – LEL, O₂, H₂S, CO & 10.6 eV PID (0–40,000 ppb) with Li-Ion Battery & 115 VAC Charger
Product Overview
The RKI GX-6100 Portable Gas Monitor is one of the most advanced handheld gas detectors available, capable of simultaneously monitoring up to six gases while offering exceptional flexibility through interchangeable smart sensor technology.
This configuration includes sensors for combustible gases (LEL), oxygen (O₂), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), and a 10.6 eV Photoionization Detector (PID) with a 0–40,000 ppb measuring range for detecting volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The built-in PID library contains correction factors for more than 600 VOCs, making it easy to configure the instrument for a wide variety of industrial hygiene and environmental monitoring applications.
A powerful internal sample pump allows atmospheric testing from remote locations before confined space entry, while advanced operating modes—including Leak Check, Bar Hole, Inert, Snap Log, and Benzene modes—provide exceptional versatility across multiple industries. Bluetooth® connectivity enables rapid emergency alert sharing and supports modern fleet management capabilities.
Built for harsh industrial environments, the GX-6100 features an IP67-rated housing, removable impact-resistant rubber boot, bright multi-directional LED alarm lights, loud audible alarm, vibration alarm, auto-rotating display, integrated LED flashlight, rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack, and included 115 VAC charger.
