RKI GX-6100 Portable and Confined Space Gas Detector

Simply put, The GX-6100 is the next-generation replacement for the GX-6000, incorporating newer electronics, expanded measurement capabilities, and improved performance.

One powerful difference is that the new GX-6100 has the capability to measure combustible gases in % LEL, PPM, and % Volume ranges. This means, when the appropriate model is purchased, it can be your go to combustible gas detector for leak detection, confined space, and high range applications like landfill monitoring wells. Contact us for details.

The GX-6100 has also introduced battery technology that has virtually doubled the battery life. Previously, the GX-6000 lasted around 14 hours. The new GX-6100 is now around 28 hours.

There are a number of other upgrades and improvements as well, such as Bluetooth capability. The datasheet is available for download.

The GX-6100 is a powerful hand-held instrument capable of simultaneously monitoring up to 6 gases. In addition to the standard 4 confined space gases which include combustibles, O2, CO, & H2S, the GX-6100 has 2 additional smart channels that accept PID, PPM, IR or super toxic sensors.

Equipped with a strong internal sample pump, a man-down alarm, a panic alarm, an LED flashlight, and large auto rotating LCD display, the GX-6100 can operate as a single gas PID unit or a multifunctional tool utilizing all 6 channels. The GX-6100 with a PID sensor will come equipped with a library of over 600 VOC gases to choose from as standard. Choosing from the library is easy with a personalized favorites list of 30 commonly used VOC’s as well as a list of 8 of the most recently used VOC’s. A benzene-specific version is available using a pre-filter tube for detecting low levels of benzene. Four PID sensors are available, 10.0 eV, 10.6 eV (low or high range), and 11.7 eV. Any combination of two PID sensors can be installed. GX-6100 PID sensors are also resistant to humidity.

The GX-6100 has a rugged design built for the nastiest environments. It is equipped with a removable impact-resistant rubber boot and a dust and water resistant enclosure with an IP-67 rating. With 5 bright LED lights on 3 sides of the instrument, alarms are easily seen from a variety of perspectives. With vibration and loud audible alarm, GX-6100 will easily alert users when needed.
