8. If 

ID DISPLAY

 is set to 

ON

 (factory setting is 

OFF

, see page 182), the User ID Screen 

appears for a few seconds, followed by the Station ID Screen.   

9. If the GX-3R Pro experiences a sensor failure during start up, the display shows which sensor 

failed and the buzzer sounds a double pulsing tone once per second. In the example below, the 
combustible gas sensor failed.

Press and release POWER MODE to acknowledge the failure and continue. “- - - -” 
replaces the failed sensor’s gas reading. Replace the failed sensor as soon as possible. 

10. If 

AUTOZERO

 is set to 

ON

 (factory setting is 

OFF

, see page 182), the instrument prompts 

you to do an auto zero. 

WARNING: Make sure that the instrument is in a known fresh air environment (an 

environment free of combustible or toxic gases and of normal oxygen content, 
20.9%) before performing an auto zero operation. If you perform an auto zero 
operation in an area with gases present, the adjustment will not be accurate.

a.  An auto zero operation sets the combustible gas, H

2

S, CO, and super toxic channels to 0 

and the OXY channel to 20.9%. 

b.  If the instrument has a CO

2

 sensor installed and if 

CO2AIR SETTING

 is set to 

ON

 in 

User Mode, the CO

2

 channel gets set to 400 ppm (0.04% volume) during an auto zero. If 

CO2AIR SETTING

 is set to 

OFF

 in User Mode, the CO

2

 channel is not adjusted during 

the auto zero.

c.  You must press and release POWER MODE to perform an auto zero function. If you do 

not press any key, after 15 seconds, the instrument enters Measuring Mode without 
performing an auto zero.
