03 Series
The 03 Series monitors (GP-03, OX-03, CO-03, and HS-03) are personal single gas monitors designed for protection from exposure to combustible hydrocarbons, oxygen deficiency, hydrogen sulfide, or carbon monoxide. Replacement sensors are field replaceable, and interchangeable with other RKI instruments like the GX-2009, GX-2012, and GasWatch 2. Sensors are not replaceable across models.
