1/4” O.D. rigid polypropylene, Teflon, or flexible polyurethane tubing may be used. RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends using either 1/4” O.D. x 1/8” I.D. or 1/4” O.D. x 0.170” I.D. tubing based on your length requirements. See “Specifications” on page 1 for maximum tubing lengths based on tubing size.
Push 1/4” O.D. rigid polypropylene or rigid Teflon sample tubing into the fitting until it stops. Flexible polyurethane tubing may be used with an appropriate insert. RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends using either 1/4” O.D. x 1/8” I.D. or 1/4” O.D. x 0.170” I.D. tubing based on your length requirements.

Connect the wires to the applicable detector/transmitter terminal strip at the controller as shown in Figure 6. Refer to the controller operator’s manual and the controller detector head specification sheet for the 35-3001A-07 for detector/terminal strip connections specific to the controller.
If the display reading is 0 %LEL for the combustible gas channel and 0 ppm for the H channel, start up is complete. The sample-draw detector is in normal operation. If the display 12 • 35-3001A-07 Combustible Gas/Hydrogen Sulfide Sample-Draw Detector...

If the fail condition continues, replace the sensor(s) as described in “Replacing Components of the Sample-Draw Detector” on page 16. If the fail condition continues, contact RKI Instruments, Inc. for further instruction. Slow or No Response/Difficult or Unable to Calibrate Symptoms •...
If you cannot set the correct flow rate, check the sample line for obstructions or kinks. If the calibration/response difficulties continue, replace the sensor as described later in this section. If the calibration/response difficulties continue, contact RKI Instruments, Inc. for further instruction. Replacing Components of the Sample-Draw Detector This section includes procedures to replace the LEL sensor, LEL amplifier, hydrogen sulfide sensor, hydrogen sulfide amplifier, hydrophobic filter, and particle filter.

There is a gasket at the bottom of the flow block. Be sure the gasket stays in place. Unplug the sensor from the H S amplifier. Verify that you are using the correct replacement sensor, then plug the sensor into the H amplifier. 35-3001A-07 Combustible Gas/Hydrogen Sulfide Sample-Draw Detector • 17...

Disconnect the filter from the rubber elbows on each end of the filter, then remove the filter from the sample-draw detector. Install the new filter. Be sure the side of the filter marked “INLET” is connected to the elbow that is connected to the inlet fitting. 18 • 35-3001A-07 Combustible Gas/Hydrogen Sulfide Sample-Draw Detector...
If the low flow alarm is set too high, turn the pressure switch adjustment screw slightly clockwise. Repeat steps 3 and 4 if necessary. Use the sensor flow control valve to set the flow to 1.0 SCFH. Make sure the sample-draw detector’s Fail LED is off. 35-3001A-07 Combustible Gas/Hydrogen Sulfide Sample-Draw Detector • 19...
Screw the inlet fitting tube nut back onto the fitting body. See “Connecting the Sample Lines to the Sample-Draw Detector” on page 9 for instructions to install a new piece of tubing into the fitting. 20 • 35-3001A-07 Combustible Gas/Hydrogen Sulfide Sample-Draw Detector...
Although there is no particular calibration frequency that is correct for all applications, a calibration frequency of every 3 months is adequate for most sample draw detector applications. Unless experience in a particular application dictates otherwise, RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends a calibration frequency of every 3 months for the sample-draw detector.
Remove the voltmeter leads from the amplifier test points. Close the housing door. Follow the instructions in the controller’s operator’s manual to exit the calibration mode. Store the components of the calibration kit in a safe and convenient place. 22 • 35-3001A-07 Combustible Gas/Hydrogen Sulfide Sample-Draw Detector...
