GMX 200 Safety Monitor Codes Code The GMX 200 is designed to detect anomalies and unexpected operational and data events. When an anomaly or event occurs, the unit assumes the situation is unrecoverable and continued unit operation is ill-advisable. Regardless of the code, neither the unit nor operator has enough information to identify the source and resolve the problem. To avoid the possibility of displaying misleading data, the unit reboots itself to restore normal operations.
