Product Warranty RKI Instruments, Inc. warrants gas alarm equipment sold by us to be free from defects in materials, workmanship, and performance for a period of one year from date of shipment from RKI Instruments, Inc. Any parts found defective within that period will be repaired or replaced, at our option, free of charge.
WARNING: When using the 65-2331-04, you must follow the instructions and warnings in this manual to assure proper and safe operation of the 65-2331-04 and to minimize the risk of personal injury. Be sure to maintain and periodically calibrate the 65-2331-04 as described in this manual.
A cap gasket seals the interface between the housing and cap. Rubber Boot and Spacer A rubber boot and spacer are installed between the detector housing cap and the sensor. They help ensure that the detector remains plugged into the detector housing body. 65-2331-04 H S Transmitter • 3...
Detector Terminal Strip The detector terminal strip is a four-point plug-in style terminal strip near the bottom of the amplifier. Use the detector terminal strip to connect the H S detector to the amplifier. 4 • 65-2331-04 H S Transmitter...
This wiring should go through the top 3/4” conduit hub. Three spacers installed on the back of the junction box controls the distance of the junction box from a mounting surface. 65-2331-04 H S Transmitter • 5...

Install 3/16 inch I.D. flexible polyurethane tubing to the fitting at the bottom of the calibration adapter/splash guard and route it to an accessible area that is close to the amplifier junction box. See the “Parts List” on page 21 for available tubing. 65-2331-04 H S Transmitter • 7...
To make wiring more convenient, use wire colors that correspond to the detector wire colors: red and black. NOTE: Consult RKI Instruments, Inc. for cable lengths longer than 200 feet. Connect the detector leads to the terminal block in the detector junction box.
Do not connect the shield drain wire at the detector junction box. Wiring the Amplifier to a Controller Turn off the controller. Turn off or unplug power to the controller. Remove the amplifier junction box’s cover from the junction box. 65-2331-04 H S Transmitter • 9...

CAUTION: Do not route power and transmitter wiring through the same controller conduit hub. The power cable may disrupt the transmission of the transmitter signal to the controller. 10 • 65-2331-04 H S Transmitter...
Figure 7: Wiring the Amplifier to a Controller 10. If shielded cable is used, connect the cable’s drain wire to an available chassis (earth) ground at the controller. RKI controllers typically have a ground stud that can be used to ground the cable’s drain wire.
The procedure below describes applying zero emission air, usually called zero air, using a calibration kit that includes calibration gas, sample tubing, and a fixed flow regulator with an on/off knob. RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends using a 0.5 LPM (liters per minute) fixed flow regulator.
Set a voltmeter to read in the millivolt (mV) range. Plug the voltmeter leads into the test points on the amplifier. Plug the positive lead into the red (+) test point; plug the negative lead into the black (-) test point. 65-2331-04 H S Transmitter • 13...

Although there is no particular calibration frequency that is correct for all applications, a calibration frequency of every 3 months is adequate for most H S transmitter applications. Unless experience in a particular application dictates otherwise, RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends a calibration frequency of every 3 months for the H S transmitter.
It describes the test using a calibration kit that includes calibration gas, sample tubing, and a fixed flow regulator with an on/off knob. RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends using a 0.5 LPM (liters per minute) fixed flow regulator.
When the display reading falls below the alarm setpoints, return the controller to normal operation. Verify that the controller display reading decreases and stabilizes at 0 ppm. Store the components of the calibration kit in a safe and convenient place. 20 • 65-2331-04 H S Transmitter...
