Inlet Filter Holder
The filter holder is a clear plastic dome shaped piece on the top of the case. A male quick
connect fitting is located on the inlet filter holder. This is the GX-6000’s inlet fitting. The
filter holder may be removed by turning it counterclockwise and pulling it away from the
case. One flat membrane disk hydrophobic filter, a wire mesh disk, and a rubber filter
retaining gasket are held in place by the filter holder and are located in the bottom of the
case chamber where the filter holder is installed.
Batteries
Three AA-size alkaline batteries or a rechargeable lithium ion battery pack (4.1 VDC)
power the GX-6000. Instrument run time is dependent upon battery type. At 25°C the
alkaline batteries last at least 8 hours and the lithium ion battery pack lasts at least 14
hours. The battery icon in the upper right of the LCD shows remaining battery life.
When the GX-6000 detects a low battery voltage, a low battery warning is activated.
When battery voltage is too low for Measuring Mode, the GX-6000 sounds a dead battery
alarm.
The alkaline batteries can be replaced by removing the battery cover on the back of the
case. The lithium ion pack can be replaced by removing the entire battery pack. The
battery pack release latch is located on the bottom of the instrument. When viewing the
instrument from the bottom with the LCD facing down, push the battery pack release latch
toward the right to release the pack.
The lithium ion battery pack can be recharged by placing the GX-6000 in its battery
charging station or by placing the battery pack in the charging station.
NOTE:
Use of batteries or battery chargers not specified by RKI Instruments, Inc. will
compromise the CSA classification and may void the warranty. See “Replacing
or Recharging the Batteries” on page 102.
