RKI GX-3R Pro integration
Connect your gas detection plan to the working day.
Already using RKI GX-3R Pro detectors? Discuss how supported readings and alarms can be brought into your Be Safe monitoring workflow.
From detector to monitoring
Start with the equipment your team uses.
The GX-3R Pro pairs by Bluetooth with a smartphone running Be Safe. The phone needs the supported connection and setup for information to reach the monitoring workflow. Confirm the detector, phone, configuration and events with Be Safe before deployment.
- 1. GX-3R ProIdentify the detector, installed sensors and relevant alarm settings.
- 2. Paired smartphoneUse Bluetooth with a smartphone running Be Safe and confirm pairing, power and connectivity.
- 3. Be Safe monitoringAgree which supported information reaches monitoring and how your response procedure works.
The GX-3R Pro is a specific model. Do not assume the same integration applies to a different detector or configuration.
Readings and alarms
Agree what your setup needs to report.
Be Safe can report gas types, readings and gas alarms, along with supported detector man-down, panic and no-motion events when configured and available. Gas information depends on the installed sensors and supported events. Some alarm types are currently unavailable.
Ask whether the periodic readings and records available in your setup could support a separate time-weighted average calculation by a qualified assessor. Such an assessment requires complete, representative measurements, time information and a suitable method.
Confirm each gas reading and event your setup can receive, as well as the operator actions and Emergency Contacts in your procedure. Do not assume every detector alarm is transmitted.
Questions to bring to Be Safe
- Detector and sensors
- Which GX-3R Pro units and gas sensors are in use? Which readings and alarm types matter for the work?
- Connection and settings
- Which smartphone and app are paired, and are the relevant detector events enabled and supported in your setup?
- Response and testing
- How will the agreed events be checked before deployment, and who will coordinate follow-up if a safety alarm reaches monitoring?
About the detector
Device features and Be Safe reporting are different questions.
RKI describes the GX-3R Pro as a detector for up to five gases, depending on its installed sensors. Configurations can include oxygen, combustible gases, hydrogen sulfide and carbon monoxide. Choose sensors for the hazards identified by your organization; available combinations vary.
RKI also describes detector panic and man-down alarms. Man-down detects a period without instrument movement; it is not a claim of fall detection. The manufacturer’s Rev. H manual lists those alarms as off at the factory. Check the manual and settings for your own units.
Manufacturer references
Use and maintain the detector according to the manufacturer’s instructions and your organization’s procedures. Review the requirements for the exact detector and sensor configuration.

RKI’s device features and its own apps do not establish which events are currently available in Be Safe. Confirm those separately.
Discuss the fit
Bring your detector and work requirements.
Whether you have GX-3R Pro units already or are considering equipment, we can discuss supported configurations, the phone connection and your monitoring procedure.
Include the detector model, installed sensors, phone details and the readings or alarms you need. Avoid including confidential incident or worker details in an initial enquiry.
