GX-2003 Operator’s Manual

Calibrating the GX-2003 • 89

The GX-2003’s calibration menu includes two methods of calibration:
auto calibration and single calibration.

• Auto Calibration: This method allows you to calibrate the 

CH4(%LEL sensor only), OXY, H2S, and CO sensors 
simultaneously. It is designed for use with the RKI 4-gas calibration 
cylinder and is the quickest and easiest method to calibrate the GX-
2003.

• Single Calibration: This method allows you to calibrate one sensor 

at a time. Use this method if you are only calibrating one or two 
sensors, if you are calibrating the %volume combustible sensor, or 
if you are not using the RKI 4-gas calibration cylinder.

Calibrating with the Auto Calibration Method

This section describes calibration using the auto calibration method.
To calibrate using the single calibration method, see “Calibrating with 
the Single Calibration Method” below.

1. With the cursor next to the AUTO CALIBRATION menu item, 

press and release the POWER ENTER button to display the 
calibration values screen.

The gas concentrations displayed in the calibration values screen 
must match the gas concentrations listed on the 4-gas calibration 
cylinder. If all concentrations match, go to step 6. If one or more 
concentrations do not match, continue with step 2.

2. To adjust the values on the screen, hold down the (SHIFT)

▼

 

button, then press the DISPLAY(ADJ) button and release both. The 
CH4 calibration value begins to flash.

3. If necessary, use the 

▲

AIR and (SHIFT)

▼

 buttons to set the correct 

combustible gas value.

4. Press and release the POWER ENTER button to enter the new 

setting. The OXY calibration value begins to flash.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to set the correct values for the remaining 

channels. After the last channel is set, you return to the calibration 
values screen and the values are no longer flashing.
