  • Gas sensor GX-CFC with 2.5 m sensor cable
  • Operating instructions
  • Mounting material (screw and dowel)
The GX-CFC gas sensor is an external sensor for fluorinated refrigerants (fluorocarbons HFC (H2, R-22, R-32, R-1234yf, R-1234ze, R-454B,
R-404a, R-290, R-410a) from leaking fittings in refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump systems and is used as an accessory for the GX-A1 and GX-HS gas detectors in our product range.
The sensor is connected to the GX gas detectors via an RJ connector on the cable.
The sensor operates in dry rooms. The sensor must not be used in potentially explosive atmospheres.
The following figure shows typical sensitivity characteristics , all data were collected under standard test conditions
The Y-axis indicates the sensor resistance ratio (Rs/Ro), which is defined as follows:
Rs = sensor resistance of the displayed gases at different concentrations
Ro = sensor resistance at 5000 ppm R-32

What are HFC refrigerants?
A refrigerant is a fluid used in refrigeration systems for heat transfer. It absorbs heat at low pressure and temperature and releases it again at higher pressure and temperature. The refrigerant's physical state changes from liquid to gas and vice versa. Fluorinated greenhouse gases have fluorine in common. Typical examples are fluorinated hydrocarbons such as tetrafluoromethane (CF4), partially fluorinated hydrocarbons such as trifluoromethane (CHF3), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6).
Fluorocarbons (PFCs, HFCs) are considered climate-damaging substances. They are divided into fully halogenated (PFCs) and partially halogenated fluorocarbons (HFCs). PFCS are hydrocarbons whose hydrogen atoms are fully replaced by fluorine atoms. HFCs are hydrocarbons whose hydrogen atoms are partially replaced by fluorine atoms. They have very different GWP values/CO2 equivalents and contribute to the warming of the Earth's atmosphere, i.e., to the so-called greenhouse effect.

Heat pumps need a coolant
The terms "refrigerant" and "coolant" are often used synonymously. However, this is technically incorrect. The difference between a refrigerant and a coolant is that a refrigerant can remove heat even when the ambient temperature is higher than the temperature of the object being cooled. A coolant, on the other hand, can only remove heat from an object when the ambient temperature is colder. For example, the coolant heated by a car's engine releases heat into the cooler environment.
To achieve temperatures below ambient temperature, a refrigerant is required in industrial applications, refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioning systems. This is also true for the increasingly popular heat pumps. The temperature inside should always be lower than outside.
A heat pump therefore works in reverse. It extracts heat from the environment and transfers it to the building or heating system. Depending on the type of heat pump, the refrigerant circuit can be installed separately or integrated into the unit.

❓ Can the GX-CFC gas sensor be used in potentially explosive atmospheres?

🔒 No, the GX-CFC is not approved for EX areas.

The gas sensor GX-CFC is not ATEX certified and therefore may not in potentially explosive areas (EX zones) be used. The sensor is exclusively for dry interiors without EX classification provided.

💡 Why is the GX-CFC not suitable for EX zones?

The GX-CFC is an electronic device that is not constructed in such a way that it reliably excludes an ignition source. Special safety regulations apply in explosive environments (e.g. with constantly or occasionally present flammable gases). Devices in these areas must certified according to ATEX directive be – this does not apply to the GX-CFC.

🔥 But doesn't the GX-CFC specifically warn against leaking, flammable refrigerants?

✅ Yes – the sensor reliably detects, for example, R32 or R454C. ❌ But: However, it may not be installed in EX zones.

A gas leak leads to not automatically to an explosive atmosphere. In many areas of application (e.g. technical rooms, heat pumps) no EX zone classification necessary. In such cases the GX-CFC can be used.

🛠️ What should I do if I'm unsure?

If you do not know whether your location is considered an EX area, please contact:

  • Ihrer Fachkraft für Arbeitssicherheit
  • dem verantwortlichen Elektroplaner oder
  • dem Hersteller der Anlage

Only these positions can have a safe and legally compliant classification meet.
