The BW GasAlertClipExtreme is portable single gas detector designed for users with fixed-duration projects or those who need a go/no-go monitor that's lightweight, compact and easy-to-use. The GA36XT is entirely maintenance free for 26 months
Introducing the GasAlert Clip Extreme 36 Month. Providing Three years of protection from H2S or CO, the water-resistant GasAlert Clip Extreme 36 Month has a built-in concussion-proof boot and is ideal for amphibious operations and high-moisture environments.
Equipped with two alarm levels and an internal vibrator, the GasAlert Clip Extreme 36 Month now features four visual LEDs, and a high-output audible alarm. The large, alphanumeric display provides instant notification of gas alarms, test status, life remaining (months then days then hours) and peak (maximum) exposures encountered.
The GasAlert Clip Extreme 36 Month's advanced microprocessor performs a full function self-test automatically on startup and on demand to verify sensor, circuit and battery integrity, as well as audible/visual alarm operation. Each unit also comes with built-in event logging.
Generating a permanent record of gas alarm events has never been easier. The GasAlertClip3 Extreme allows for effortless transmission of stored event data to a cordless printer or a PC for review and analysis.
Despite being loaded with features, the GasAlert Clip Extreme 36 Month is compact and light, which makes it comfortable to wear. Clip it to your lapel, pocket, belt or hardhat for unequaled protection.
Simply press the START/TEST button and the GasAlert Clip Extreme 36 Month is ready to use, providing three years of continuous, maintenance-free operation from the day of activation.

Small, compact, easy to use and virtually maintenance free. Always active means you will never forget to turn on your monitor.
No real-time display of current gas levels. Cannot be turned off, once it is turned on the 24 or 36 month countdown begins and there is no delaying or stopping that.
An excellent monitor to use if you only need to know when the target gas is present. Not the monitor to use if you need an exact reading in real-time. It has a good history of being reliable and virtually problem free.
A popular unit, this low-maintenance gas detector is a good choice for anyone wanting continuous, reliable protection in a low cost single gas detector with minimal maintenance requirements. It is a good fit in virtually any application as a quick and easy safety device.
There is no need for calibration, sensor replacement, battery replacement or battery charging on this model. Regular maintenance Bump Tests can be performed on the unit depending on personal preference or when site safety regulations require it.
Available sensors include H2S, CO, SO2 and Oxygen, but as a single gas detector you can choose only one of those sensors available, not multiple sensors. With H2S and CO, you can choose either a 2 or a 3 year version. A daily self-test, which is activated by the press of a button, performs a full function self-test of the sensor, battery, circuit integrity as well as the visual and audible alarms, providing user confidence. The built-in concussion proof boot provides excellent protection against accidental bumps, scratches and damage; and it is water-proof, with an IP rating of 67 it can be submerged in water up to 1 m deep for 30 minutes.
The GA24XT doesn't give you an actual real-time readout of current gas levels, those are only seen when the detected levels reach the point that the alarms are triggered; during non-alarm periods only the life remaining of the unit is displayed. It also can't be turned off once it has been activated. This is generally a concern for contract workers, who like the GA24XT because of its low price and ease of use, but some contracts only last a couple months with more time between contracts. Not being able to turn off or "hibernate" the unit limits your lifespan. It is also compatible with the BW MicroDock II calibration and bump test station for those who wish to use a more hands-free, automated, bump test procedure.
