Product Overview
The RKI OS-BM2 is the galvanic-cell oxygen (O2) replacement sensor for RKI’s GX-series and related portable monitors. RKI lists this part on instruments such as the GX-2009, GX-2012, GX-2001, GX-2003, GX-6000, GasWatch / OX-01 family, and Gas Tracer.
Typical detection range on these instruments is 0–40% volume O2 (0.1% resolution on most GX platforms). This is not the GX-3R / GX-Force cell (ESR-X13P-OXY) and not the OX-600 / OS-BM1D stationary-style cell.
Compatibility
- RKI GX-2009 (including MSHA configs that use OS-BM2)
- RKI GX-2012 / Gas Tracer
- RKI GX-2001 / GX-2003
- RKI GX-6000
- RKI GasWatch 2 / GasWatch 3 and OX-01 / related single-gas O2 variants that specify OS-BM2
- RKI 03 Series O2 (OX-03) where OS-BM2 is the listed spare
Part number: OS-BM2. Confirm the sensor PN in your instrument’s parts list before ordering—RKI uses different O2 cells across product lines.
After installation
- Install only in a clean, dry area using the instrument’s sensor retainer and gasket.
- Perform a full calibration with certified calibration gas after any O2 sensor change before returning the monitor to service.
- For GX-2009 bump/cal adapters, use the model-specific calibration cup (e.g. 81-1107RK).
Ideal Calibrations stocks OS-BM2 for field service and can calibrate GX-series monitors after sensor replacement in Melvindale, MI.
