If the display reading is 0% LEL, start up is complete. The hydrogen detector is in normal operation. If the display reading is not 0% LEL, continue with step 3. Perform a zeroing operation at the controller. See the controller operator’s manual for directions. 6 • 61-1001RKSS Hydrogen Detector...
Use the calibration kit sample tubing to connect the regulator to the calibration cup. Performing the response test Turn the regulator’s on/off knob counterclockwise to open the regulator. Gas will begin to flow. Allow the gas to flow for one minute. 61-1001RKSS Hydrogen Detector • 7...

Note: Under “normal” circumstances, the detector requires calibration once every three months. Some applications may require a more frequent calibration schedule. 8 • 61-1001RKSS Hydrogen Detector...
Connect the detector leads to the terminal block the same way the old detector was wired (see Figure 3). See the controller operator’s manual and the controller’s detector head specification sheet for the 61-1001RKSS detector to verify the connections to the controller are correct.
When the directions call for exposing the detector to gas, turn the regulator’s on/off knob counterclockwise to open it. Allow the gas to flow for one minute before continuing with the directions. After setting the response reading, turn the regulator’s on/off knob clockwise to close 10 • 61-1001RKSS Hydrogen Detector...
Verify that the controller display reading decreases and stabilizes at 0 %LEL. Store the components of the calibration kit in a safe and convenient place. Parts List Table 3 lists replacement parts and accessories for the 61-1001RKSS hydrogen detector. Table 3: Parts List Part Number...
