Overview
The RKI RM-5000 is a multi-channel card-type gas monitor system for combustible gases, oxygen and toxic gases. Each card shows its reading on a colour-changing LCD with digital and bar meter, outputs 4-20 mA and drives alarm relays, and up to 32 points connect over RS-485. It fits existing RM-570A / RM-580 cases through the 5000-CC connection case.

- Bar meter and digital readout; the LCD turns green, yellow or red with the gas level
- Up to 32 points over RS-485
- Replaces RM-570A / RM-580 cards in existing facilities via the 5000-CC connection case
- Low power: 7 W maximum per card on 24 VDC
- 2 gas alarms per channel plus fault, self-latching or auto reset
