The MED-compliant GX-9000 is finally here

The maritime industry is embracing a new standard in safety with the GX-9000 portable multi-gas detector.

Replacing the trusted GX-8000 and RX-8000 series, this advanced device combines cutting-edge technology, flexibility, and compliance with the latest EU regulations. Whether for tank operations or enclosed space pre-entry checks, the GX-9000 is designed to meet the unique challenges of maritime operations.

Built for EU compliance

Compliance with EU regulations is critical, and the GX-9000 simplifies this process by meeting two key directives.

The Reduction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive calls for eliminating harmful materials like lead from electronic components. Historically, O2 sensors contained lead, which is now prohibited as a component. The GX-9000, however, is RoHS-compliant, making it safer for the crew and environmentally responsible.

Additionally, the GX-9000 is certified under MED Revision 6 of the Marine Equipment Directive, ensuring it meets stringent safety requirements for maritime applications. These certifications make the GX-9000 a reliable and future-proof choice, particularly for EU-flagged vessels.

A versatile upgrade for every operation

The GX-9000 builds on the foundation of the GX-8000 and RX-8000 series while introducing significant advancements. Riken Keiki has shifted from offering a range of specialized devices to delivering a single, highly adaptable instrument. This evolution means fewer devices onboard while retaining the ability to handle diverse operational needs.

For tank operations, the GX-9000 connects to a sampling tube to measure gas levels deep inside tanks, ensuring accurate readings in confined spaces. For enclosed space pre-entry checks, it provides fast and reliable data to verify safe conditions before entry. With the ability to detect up to six gases simultaneously, including oxygen, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, VOCs, and carbon dioxide, the GX-9000 delivers comprehensive safety monitoring tailored to your needs.

Its configurability is unmatched, offering approximately 1,000 sensor combinations. This adaptability ensures that the GX-9000 can be customized on board to suit specific operational demands, eliminating unnecessary features and maximizing efficiency.

Durability meets intelligence

The GX-9000 is built to thrive in harsh maritime environments. Its robust design meets IP66/68 standards, making it dustproof, waterproof, and capable of withstanding drops up to 1.5 meters. It is a device you can depend on in the most demanding conditions.

But durability is not its only strength. The GX-9000 incorporates optional Bluetooth connectivity, enabling seamless data management with the RK Link app. Crews can monitor alarms in real-time, transfer data quickly, and streamline compliance reporting—all of which enhance safety and operational efficiency.

Its sensors are equally reliable, with warranties of up to three years, ensuring long-term performance and reduced maintenance downtime. Whether you are preparing for tank cleaning, cargo loading, or enclosed space inspections, the GX-9000 is a trusted partner that enhances safety and simplifies operations.

Redefining maritime gas detection

The GX-9000 represents more than an upgrade—it is a reimagining of how gas detection should work in the maritime industry. By combining regulatory compliance, state-of-the-art technology, and unparalleled configurability, the GX-9000 ensures safety and efficiency for today’s demanding operations.

While the GX-9000 sets a new standard, Riken Keiki remains committed to supporting the GX-8000 and RX-8000 series. Spare parts, service, and maintenance will be available for these trusted devices until 2031, giving you the time and flexibility needed to transition smoothly.

If you are looking for a gas detector that is as adaptable as your operations and as rugged as the conditions you face, the GX-9000 is the solution you can trust.
