Product Features

Description : 

The  GX-8000 confined space monitor sets a new industry standard for rugged, reliable, portable gas detection.

This robust, lightweight, sample drawing multi-gas monitor is designed to provide continuous and simultaneous exposure monitoring in hazardous areas. It measures Flammable, Oxygen(O2) and Toxic Gases, Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) ) in air.

The 0-100% volume Thermal Conductive sensor allows monitoring of volume levels of combustibles in Oxygen depleted as well as inert gas atmospheres.

This combination of sensors makes for a versatile detector. It is  suitable for dual-use applications such as Confined Space as well as Purging or Inerting. It’s rugged IP-67 waterproof design makes it well suited to harsh, tough environments.The GX-8000 is suitable for industries including oil and gas, utilities, wastewater treatment, telecommunications as well as marine shipping.

The compact, lightweight design makes it comfortable to carry using the shoulder/neck strap, and the optional waist strap allows for hands free use. The instrument is easy to operate single-handed in addition a powerful 750ml / minute built-in pump will draw a sample from 30m within a few seconds. This alerts the user to a potentially hazardous combustible or toxic gas situation without delay.GX-8000 Features Diagram

The GX-8000 consolidates several of the older classic Riken models. These include the GX-111, NP-237H, GX-7, GX-85N, OX-62B, OX-1, OX-415, in addition to the OX-226 and GP-226, into one versatile unified multigas monitor.

Riken’s GX-8000 usability and reliability are the culmination of 75 years of experience as a leading gas detector manufacturer. The GX-8000 is certified to international standards (ATEX / IECEx / MED (wheel mark), etc).
