Responding to Battery Alarms
WARNING: The GX-2009 is not operational as a gas monitoring
device during a dead battery alarm. Take the GX-2009 to a
non-hazardous area and recharge the battery as
described in “Recharging the GX-2009’s NiMH Batteries”
on page 55
The GX-2009 is fully functional during a low battery warning. However,
depending upon conditions, the GX-2009 has only two or three hours of
operating time left after the low battery warning has been triggered.
Recharge the battery pack as soon as possible as described in
“Recharging the GX-2009’s NiMH Batteries” on page 55.
NOTE: Alarms and the back light feature consume battery power and
reduce the amount of operating time remaining.
Responding to Sensor Failure Alarms
1. Determine which sensor has triggered the sensor failure alarm.
2. Try calibrating the sensor first as described in “Performing a Span
Adjustment in AUTO CAL” on page 31 or “Performing a Span
Adjustment in ONE CAL” on page 36 before replacing it.
3. If the sensor failure continues, replace the sensor as described in
“Replacing a Sensor” on page 63.
4. If the sensor failure condition continues after you have replaced the
sensor, contact RKI Instruments, Inc. for further instructions.
Aspirator Adapter
The aspirator adapter accessory is used when it is necessary to draw
sample from an area that cannot be entered or that must be checked for
safety before entry, such as a tank or confined space.
NOTE: The CSA combustible performance certification for the GX-2009
does not include the aspirator adapter.
