Gas Alarm GX-D3

GX-D3 CO2 Alarm: Flexible Protection with External Sensor for Kitchenettes & Cold Rooms – DIN EN 6653-2

A leaking CO2 regulator and the room fills up unnoticed.

The GX-D3 from Elektrotechnik Schabus GmbH & Co. KG makes this hazard controllable: plug it into a socket, optimally place the external NDIR infrared sensor (near the floor and close to the cylinders), wait 3 minutes, and you are protected.

Alarm thresholds according to DIN EN 6653-2 (well above natural room air levels but below danger levels). A loud piezo buzzer and flashing red LED trigger an immediate response. Maintenance-free, long operational life (no water contact). Half-yearly breathing test recommended. Ideal for kitchenettes with carbonators, beverage dispensers, and cold rooms.

Not suitable for Ex areas, greenhouses, or industrial processes. Consult your trade association or occupational safety office before installation.

Made in Germany, the GX-D3 is your flexible guardian for household-type environments.

The GX-D3 technology is precise and versatile: the external NDIR (infrared) sensor measures CO2 selectively, and high thresholds prevent false alarms from exhaled air.

230 V plug-in operation, no batteries required, no failure. The sensor cable allows flexible placement, independent of the socket (e.g. near the floor for heavier CO2). Fully operational after a short warm-up time. The GX-D3 complies with DIN EN 6653-2, complements ventilation concepts, and protects against the risk of suffocation in small spaces. For special solutions: technical support +49 (0) 8036 / 674 979 - 0. It is not just a detector but an active occupational safety device – simple, reliable, regionally adapted.

The GX-D3 is more than a device – it is safety with flexibility. Whether in an office kitchenette with a large CO2 cylinder, a bar dispenser system, a cold room with dry ice, or a break room with a carbonator: a porous hose, a defective valve, or a toppled cylinder – and the GX-D3 sounds the alarm.

Employees stay alert, employers meet regulations, and facility managers stay in control. The external sensor enables precise positioning, while the loud alarm ensures evacuation. The robust design, maintenance-free NDIR sensor, and German engineering make the GX-D3 a long-lasting solution.

It is proof that flexibility protects. With the GX-D3, you invest in breathing safety – peace of mind that remains when CO2 is under control.

The GX-D3 at a glance:

  • External NDIR sensor: Flexible placement – near the floor, close to the CO2 source.
  • DIN EN 6653-2: Alarm for technical leaks – tolerant to ambient air.
  • Plug & Play: 230 V socket – installed in seconds.
  • Loud alarm: Piezo buzzer + flashing red LED – impossible to miss.
  • Maintenance-free: Accurate for years – only half-yearly breathing test required.
  • Quick readiness: 3-minute warm-up – immediate protection.
  • Household environments: Kitchenettes, dispensers – not for Ex zones.
  • Made in Germany: Top quality, service, and compatibility by Schabus.

Applications: Where the GX-D3 warns with flexibility

The GX-D3 ensures leakage safety in all household-type rooms with CO2 systems:

  • Kitchenettes & offices: Carbonator cylinders – sensor near floor, alarm on leaks.
  • Beverage dispensers: Bars, gastronomy – protects staff from regulator leaks.
  • Cold rooms: Dry ice or CO2 cooling – perfect external placement.
  • Break rooms: Workplace carbonators – built-in safety.
  • Small businesses: Beverage systems, storage – compliance guaranteed.
  • Events & mobile units: Temporary carbonators – flexible sensor placement.
  • Schools & labs (household type): CO2 for experiments – guaranteed safety.

With the GX-D3, CO2 protection starts at the socket and extends with the sensor right to where the risk is. It is the compliant, flexible solution for all who use CO2 but take no chances. The external NDIR sensor, loud alarm, and German quality make it indispensable.

GAS ALARM GX-D3 – For Technical Installations

The GX-D3 is a CO₂ gas detector designed for technical installations and work areas where CO₂ may occur from technical sources – e.g. in cold rooms, beverage dispensing systems, or kitchenettes with carbonators. With its external NDIR infrared sensor, the monitoring area can be positioned optimally, while the unit itself operates conveniently as a plug-in device.

Optical and acoustic warning signals ensure reliable alerting. The alarm thresholds comply with DIN EN 6653-2. Before installation, the trade association and occupational safety authority should be consulted, as regional regulations may vary.
