DANGER
About combination
 Make sure that the product model on the nameplate and combination of main unit and battery unit
is correct.
Inappropriate combinations of models deviate from the range of explosion-proof certification.
 IP protection class: IP20
About use
 While conducting measurement in a manhole or confined space, do not lean over or look into the
manhole or closed space. It may lead to dangers because oxygen-deficient air or other gases
may blow out.
 Oxygen-deficient air or other gases may blow out from the gas exhausting outlet. Never inhale
the air or gases.
 High-concentration (more than LEL) gases may blow out. Never use fire near the gas monitor.
7
2-2. Warning cases
WARNING
Sampling point pressure
 The gas monitor is designed to draw gases around it under the atmospheric pressure. If
excessive pressure is applied to the gas inlet and outlet (GAS IN, GAS OUT) of the gas monitor,
detected gases may be leaked from its inside, thus leading to dangers. Be sure that excessive
pressure is not applied to the gas monitor while used.
 Do not connect the gas sampling hose directly to a location with a pressure higher than the
atmospheric pressure. The internal piping system may be damaged.
Handling of sensor
Do not disassemble the electrochemical type sensor or galvanic cell type sensor because they
contain electrolyte. Electrolyte may cause severe skin burns if it contacts skin, while it may cause
blindness if it contacts eyes.
If electrolyte is adhered on your clothes, that part on your clothes is discolored or its material is
decomposed. If contact occurs, rinse the area immediately with a large quantity of water.
Fresh air adjustment in atmosphere

When the fresh air adjustment is performed in the atmosphere, check the atmosphere for freshness
before beginning the adjustment. If other gases exist, the adjustment cannot be performed properly,
thus leading to dangers when the gas leaks.
Response to gas alarm

Issuance of a gas alarm indicates that there are extreme dangers. Take proper actions based on
your judgment.
Battery level check

 Before use, check that there remains sufficient battery power. When the gas monitor is used for
the first time or is not used for a long period, the batteries may be exhausted. Either fully
recharge the batteries or replace them with new ones before use.
 If a low battery voltage alarm occurs, gas detection cannot be conducted. If the alarm occurs
during use, turn off the power and promptly recharge the batteries in a non-hazardous area.
Others
 Do not throw the gas monitor into fire.
 Do not wash the gas monitor in a washing machine or ultrasonic cleaner.
 Do not block the buzzer sound opening. No alarm sound can be heard.
 Do not remove the battery unit while the power is ON.
8
2-3. Precautions
CAUTION
Do not use the gas monitor where it is exposed to oil, chemicals, etc. Do not submerge the gas
monitor under water on purpose.
 Do not use in a place where the gas monitor is exposed to liquids such as oil and chemicals.
 The gas monitor, being compliant to IP67, is not water-pressure-resistant. Do not use the gas
monitor where a high water pressure is applied to it (under a faucet, shower, etc.) or submerge it
under water for a long time. The gas monitor is water-proof only in fresh water and running
water, and not in hot water, salt water, detergent, chemicals, human sweat, etc.
 The gas inlet and outlet are not water-proof. Be careful not to let water such as rainwater get into
these parts. Because this may cause trouble and gas cannot be detected.
 Do not use the gas monitor where water or dirt gets accumulated. The gas monitor placed at
such a location may malfunction due to water or dirt that gets into the buzzer opening, gas inlet,
etc.
 Note that drawing in dirty water, dust, metallic powder, etc. will significantly deteriorate the
sensor sensitivities. Be careful when the gas monitor is used in an environment where these
elements exist.
Do not use the gas monitor in a place where the temperature drops below -20ºC or rises over 50ºC.
 The operating temperature of the gas monitor is -20 to 50ºC. Do not use the gas monitor at
higher temperatures, humidities, and pressures or at lower temperatures than the operating
range.
 Avoid long-term use of the gas monitor in a place where it is exposed to direct sunlight.
 Do not store the gas monitor in a sun-heated car.
Observe the operating restrictions to prevent condensation inside the gas monitor or gas sampling
hose.
Condensation formed inside the gas monitor or gas sampling hose causes clogging or gas
adsorption, which may disturb accurate gas detection. Thus, condensation must be avoided. In
addition to the operating environment, carefully monitor the temperature/humidity of the sampling
point to prevent condensation inside the gas monitor or gas sampling hose. Please observe the
operating restrictions.
Do not use a transceiver near the gas monitor.

 Radio wave from a transceiver near the gas monitor may disturb readings. If a transceiver is
used, it must be used in a place where it disturbs nothing.
 Do not use the gas monitor near a device that emits strong electromagnetic waves
(high-frequency or high-voltage devices).
Verify that the pump driving indicator is rotating before using the gas monitor.
If the pump driving indicator is not rotating, gas detection cannot be performed properly. Check
whether the flow rate is lost.
Do not forget to perform a regular maintenance.

Since this is a safety unit, a regular maintenance must be performed to ensure safety. Continuing to
use the gas monitor without performing a maintenance will compromise the sensitivity of the sensor,
thus resulting in inaccurate gas detection.
9
CAUTION
Others
 Pressing buttons unnecessarily may change the settings, preventing alarms from activating
correctly. Operate the gas monitor using only the procedures described in this operating manual.
 Do not drop or give shock to the gas monitor. The water-proof and explosion-proof properties
and accuracy may be deteriorated.
 Do not use the gas monitor while recharging it.
 Whereas the gas monitor can detect oxygen, combustible gases, carbon monoxide, and
hydrogen sulfide, the operating environment may include gases that have harmful effects on the
sensors of this unit. (Different gases can be defected depending on the type.)
The gas monitor cannot be used in the presence of the following gases:
(1) Sulfides (such as H2S and SO2) continuously existing in high concentrations
(2) Halogen gases (such as chloride compounds and chlorofluorocarbons)
(3) Silicone (Si compounds)
Do not use the gas monitor in the presence of the above gases (such as high-concentration
sulfides, halogen gases, and silicone), which may shorten the sensor life significantly or cause
malfunctions such as inaccurate readings.
In case the gas monitor is used for detection in the presence of silicone, etc., be sure to check
the gas sensitivities before using it again.

NOTE
 A sensor abnormality alarm is issued before the detection mode is entered if there is any abnormality
in the sensor. Press the RESET button. This will reset the sensor abnormality alarm temporarily, set
the gas concentration display that was abnormal on the sensor to ---, and start gas detection. However,
notify the abnormality to RIKEN KEIKI promptly. Gas for which there was an abnormality in the sensor
cannot be detected. However, the alarm cannot be reset if there is an abnormality in all the sensors.
 If there is an abnormality in the built-in clock, a fault alarm FAIL CLOCK may be issued. Press the
RESET button. The fault alarm is temporarily reset, and measurement is started with incorrect clock
time.

4-5. How to detect
In the detection mode, put the gas sampling probe close to the detection area and take the reading on the
display.
Display example
<- Display example

CH4 concentration: 0%LEL
O2 concentration: 20.9%
CO concentration: 0 ppm
H2S concentration: 0 ppm
Time: 9:30
Battery level: Sufficient
DANGER
 While conducting measurement in a manhole or confined space, do not lean over or look into the
manhole or closed space. It may lead to dangers because oxygen-deficient air or other gases
may blow out.
 Oxygen-deficient air or other gases may blow out from the gas exhausting outlet. Never inhale
the air or gases.
 High-concentration (more than LEL) gases may blow out. Never use fire near the gas monitor.
WARNING
 The gas monitor is designed to draw gases around it under the atmospheric pressure. If
excessive pressure is applied to the gas inlet and outlet (GAS IN, GAS OUT) of the gas monitor,
detected gases may be leaked from its inside, thus leading to dangers. Be sure that excessive
pressure is not applied to the gas monitor while used.
 Do not connect the sampling hose directly to a location with a pressure higher than the
atmospheric pressure. The internal piping system may be damaged.
 When the fresh air adjustment is performed in the atmosphere, check the atmosphere for
freshness before beginning the adjustment. If other gases exist, the adjustment cannot be
performed properly, thus leading to dangers when the gas leaks.
 Issuance of a gas alarm indicates that there are extreme dangers. Take proper actions based on
your judgment.
 Before use, check that there remains sufficient battery power. When the gas monitor is used for
the first time or is not used for a long period, the batteries may be exhausted. Either fully
recharge the batteries or replace them with new ones before use.
 If a low battery alarm occurs, gas detection cannot be conducted. If the alarm occurs during use,
turn off the power and promptly recharge the batteries in a non-hazardous area.
 Do not block the buzzer sound opening. No alarm sound can be heard.
26
CAUTION
 Before performing gas detection, attach the gas sampling probe provided with the gas monitor to
prevent disturbances by air dust.
 When you measure concentrations of oxygen in inert gases for a long time, the carbon dioxide
concentration in the air must be 15% or less. When you use the gas monitor in the air with a
carbon dioxide concentration of 15% or higher, perform measurement in as short time as
possible. Using the gas monitor under high concentrations for a long time may shorten the life of
the oxygen sensor.
 An oxygen concentration higher than a certain level is required for the combustible gas %LEL
sensor of the gas monitor to correctly detect gases and display concentrations.
 During combustible gas detection (%LEL range), long-time detection of a high-concentration
combustible gas may adversely influence the sensor.
 Use the gas monitor with the LCD display facing upward. The gas monitor, when used with the
LCD display in a tilted or flat status, may not display correct values.
NOTE
 If the combustible gas reading exceeds 100% LEL, the CO reading rises temporarily but this is not
abnormal.
 In a low-temperature environment, the operating time is shortened due to the battery performance
property.
 At a low temperature, the response of the LCD display may get slow down.
 If a combustible gas with a higher concentration than %LEL is drawn, some gas may remain in the gas
sampling hose due to adsorption in the hose, gas sampling probe, etc. After drawing a
high-concentration combustible gas, clean the gas monitor to remove the adsorbed gas (draw fresh air
and check that the reading becomes zero).
Performing fresh air adjustment before cleaning it completely will result in inaccurate adjustment,
giving adverse influence on measurement. In such a case, remove the gas sampling hose before
performing fresh air adjustment to avoid inaccurate adjustment.
 Perform gas detection in the vol% range (Type-A and E only) in a place where the presence of a
high-concentration combustible gas is known.
NOTE
<Influence of Coexisting Gases on High-Concentration Combustible Gas Sensor> (TYPE-A and E Only)
A thermal-conductivity sensor that detects high-concentration combustible gases, based on the principle
of detection using a difference in thermal conductivities of gases, may display a reading that is disturbed
by a considerable change in the concentration of gases other than the combustible gases that coexist in
the atmosphere.
However, the influence of oxygen on readings can be automatically corrected by the sensor, which
detects oxygen at the same time, by feeding back a change in the oxygen concentration to the detection
result of high-concentration combustible gases.
If coexisting gases other than oxygen undergo a high concentration change, the influence from the
change cannot be automatically corrected. This sensor is adjusted to be able to detect high-concentration
combustible gases in the air as well as in an nitrogen atmosphere. If the composition of the atmosphere
other than nitrogen is known in advance, adjusting the sensor in accordance with the atmosphere can
alleviate influences on readings. For information on the adjustment procedure, see the separate
"Maintenance Manual."
27
<Manual Memory>
Any instantaneous value during measurement can be recorded.
Up to 256 points of data can be recorded. When the number of recorded data points reaches the maximum,
recorded data will be overwritten, starting from the oldest data.
(1) In the detection mode, keep the ▼/RESET switch pressed and press the ▲/AIR switch to prepare for
recording (about one second). The following screens are displayed in turn on the gas monitor.
NOTE
The screen displays the memory number, date, and instantaneous value in turn. Go to the next step to
execute recording. No value is recorded at this point yet. If you do not want to record a value, press the
DISPLAY switch to return to the detection mode.
(2) Press the ENTER switch. The date and the instantaneous value at the time when the ENTER switch is
pressed are recorded.
(3) When END is displayed, the recording is completed.
Returns to the detection mode.
28
<Auto Range Switching Point> (TYPE-A and E Only)
If Auto Range is set on a type with the vol% range for combustible gases, the display is automatically
switched to the vol% range when the concentration of a detected combustible gas exceeds 100%LEL.
When the concentration drops, the display returns to the %LEL range again. The following shows an
example of switching timing.

%LEL range vol% range %LEL range
Switching point Switching point
CAUTION
An oxygen concentration higher than a certain level is required for the combustible gas %LEL
sensor of the gas monitor to correctly detect gases and display concentrations. For the sake of more
accurate gas detection and concentration display, therefore, this gas sensor may perform detection
using the vol% sensor if the built-in oxygen sensor of this unit detects an oxygen concentration
lower than a certain level in the atmosphere.
In other words, the display changes at the timing shown above when the oxygen concentration is
equal to or higher than a certain level. If it is lower than a certain level, however, the vol% sensor is
used for detection even if the combustible gas concentration is lower than the switching point.

6-4. Parts replacement

<Replacement of Consumables>
Sensor Replacement
The built-in sensors of the gas monitor have a validity period and must be replaced regularly.
The sensor life has expired if, for example, the sensors cannot be calibrated in span adjustment, the
readings do not come back after fresh air adjustment, or the readings fluctuate. Contact RIKEN KEIKI. The
warranty period is one year for all the sensors.
Dust Filter Replacement Procedure

Because the dust filter may gradually get dirty or clogged over the time, it must be replaced regarding the
operating conditions. Check the dust filter, and then replace it as necessary.
The gas monitor has various built-in filters.
Gas sampling probe

Because the dust filter may gradually get dirty or clogged over time, it must be replaced regularly according
to the operating conditions.
It must be replaced especially when it shows a sign of water absorption, low flow rate or contamination
① Rotate the end of the probe

counterclockwise and remove it.
A round dust filter is contained here.
Check it for contamination or clogging.
Replace the dust filter if it is contaminated
heavily or clogged.
② Take out the filter and replace it with new

one.
③ Reattach the filter case.
NOTE
 Use only the filters specified by RIKEN KEIKI.
46
How to replace the activated carbon filter
CAUTION
 Turn off the power of the gas monitor before replacing the activated carbon filter.
 Do not remove the activated carbon filter knob unless the activated carbon filter is to be
replaced. If the activated carbon filter knob is loose (not sufficiently tightened), accurate
measurement may not be possible due to leaks, or water may get inside.
 No activated carbon filter is used on a type that does not measure carbon monoxide. Keep this
knob tightened at all times.
 Use only an activated carbon filter dedicated to the gas monitor (GX-8000). Using a similar
product may have harmful effects on the gas detection performance.
(1) Using a coin, etc., turn the activated carbon filter knob
counterclockwise (in a direction indicated as OPEN in this figure) to
remove it.
(2) Pull out to remove the filter case from the activated carbon knob.
(3) Replace the two activated carbon filters in the filter case with new ones.
(4) Attach the filter case to the activated carbon filter knob and put it as far as
it will go.
(5) Attach the activated carbon filter knob to the main unit in an opposite
procedure to Step (1). Tighten it firmly using a coin, etc.
CAUTION
If the knob is not completely tightened, accurate gas measurement may not be possible due to
leaks, or water may get inside. The same thing occurs if a minute foreign substance is caught
beneath the knob.

 In a dark place under the normal temperature and humidity away from direct sunlight
 In a place where gases, solvents or vapors are not present
Store the gas monitor in a shipping carton, if any, in which the product was delivered.
Store the gas monitor away from dust, etc. if the shipping carton is not available.
CAUTION
If the gas monitor is not used for a long time, turn on the power at least once every six months and
check that the pump draws in air (about three minutes). The gas monitor, when not activated for a
long time, may cease to work because of hardening of the grease in the pump motor.
NOTE
 If the gas monitor with a Li-ion battery unit is not used for a long time, it is recommended to store it
after discharging the batteries until the battery level icon shows one battery mark or so. If the gas
monitor is stored with the batteries fully recharged, the batteries get deteriorated more quickly and may
have shorter life.
 If the gas monitor with a dry battery unit is not used for a long time, store it after removing the batteries.
Battery leaks may result in fire or injury. If the gas monitor is not used for a short time, store it without
removing the batteries. While the power of the gas monitor is OFF, the sensor is energized at all times.
Therefore, it is necessary to store the gas monitor with the batteries in it.
7-2. Procedures to use the gas monitor again
CAUTION
When you use a stopped/stored gas monitor again, do not forget to perform a gas calibration. For
information on readjustment including gas calibration, please contact RIKEN KEIKI.

7-3. Disposal of products
 When the gas detector is disposed of, it must be treated properly as an industrial waste in accordance
with the local regulations.
WARNING
 Do not disassemble the electrochemical type sensor or galvanic cell type sensor because they
contain electrolyte. Electrolyte may cause severe skin burns if it contacts skin, while it may cause
blindness if it contacts eyes.
If electrolyte is adhered on you clothes, that part on your clothes is discolored or its material is
decomposed. If contact occurs, rinse the area immediately with a large quantity of water.
 Dispose of the batteries in accordance with procedure specified by the local authority.
 When disposing of the gas detector in EU member states, sort the batteries as specified. Handle the
removed batteries according to the classified refuse collection system and recycling system based on
the regulations of EU member states.
Contact RIKEN KEIKI for disposal.
