RKI GX-2009 and GX-2012 12 VDC Adapter with Vehicle Plug 49-2020RK
Description
The RKI 12 VDC Adapter with Vehicle Plug (49-2020RK) enables charging of the RKI GX-2009, GX-2012, and Gas Tracer gas monitors from a vehicle's 12V accessory outlet. Essential for technicians and safety professionals who move between job sites and need to recharge monitors in transit. Connect the adapter to a compatible charger base (not included), plug into a dedicated 12V outlet, and the monitor charges in the vehicle without requiring access to a wall outlet.
The GX-2009, GX-2012, and Gas Tracer have been discontinued. Consider the GX-3R, GX-Force, or GX-6100 for dependable gas detection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the charger base included with the 49-2020RK adapter?
No. The 49-2020RK is the vehicle adapter only — it connects the 12V outlet to the charger base. A compatible charger base for the GX-2009 or GX-2012 must be purchased separately. If a replacement charger base is needed, call 800.829.9580 and reference the monitor model to identify the correct base part number.
Will this adapter work with the GX-3R or GX-Force?
No. The 49-2020RK is designed for the GX-2009, GX-2012, and Gas Tracer only. The GX-3R and GX-3R Pro use the 49-2021 vehicle adapter, and the GX-Force uses the 49-2022. Do not interchange vehicle adapters between monitor generations.
The GX-2009 is discontinued — is the 49-2020RK still available?
PK Safety maintains inventory of accessories for discontinued RKI monitors while stock is available. If this adapter is needed to maintain a GX-2009 or GX-2012 fleet currently in service, order promptly as replacement parts for discontinued monitors become progressively harder to source. Call 800.829.9580 to check current stock and discuss upgrade options for legacy RKI monitors.
What 12V outlet type does this plug fit?
The 49-2020RK uses a standard cigarette lighter / automotive 12V accessory plug, the common round socket found in most vehicles, trucks, and construction equipment. It is not compatible with USB-C or USB-A charging ports. A dedicated 12V accessory outlet is required — not a USB port adapter.
Should we upgrade from the GX-2009 to the GX-3R?
The GX-3R is the modern replacement for the GX-2009, with improved sensor technology, a hot-swappable battery, a larger display, and optional wireless communication in the GX-3R Pro. Call 800.829.9580 to discuss fleet transition options and current pricing for GX-3R monitors and accessories.
Can PK Safety service GX-2009 monitors that are still in use?
Yes, subject to parts availability from RKI. PK Safety services legacy RKI monitors in-house with factory-trained technicians. Call 800.829.9580 before shipping a GX-2009 for service to confirm parts are available for the specific repair needed.
