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.
± 5% of reading or ± 2% of full scale (whichever is greater) WARNING: When using the 61-1004RK, you must follow the instructions and warnings in this manual to assure proper and safe operation of the 61-1004RK and to minimize the risk of personal injury. Be sure to maintain and periodically calibrate the 61-1004RK as described in this manual.
61-1004RK-02 which has a detection range of 0 - 5,000 ppm, the 61-1004RK-03 which has a detection range of 0 - 5% volume, the 61-1004RK-05 which has a detection range of 0 - 50% volume, and the 61-1004RK-10 which has a detection range of 0 - 100% volume.
0 - 100% volume red shrink tubing on green wire The output of the CO detector mimics the output of RKI’s standard catalytic LEL detectors. For this reason, the CO detector’s wire colors are the same as RKI’s catalytic LEL detectors, black, white, green, and red. When the CO...

Note: Under “normal” circumstances, the detector requires calibration once every six months. Some applications may require a more frequent calibration schedule. 61-1004RK/61-0191RK Combustible Gas Detector • 9...
(see Figure 3 on page 6). See the controller operator’s manual and the controller’s detector head specification sheet for the 61-1004RK detector to verify the connections to the controller are correct.
The 0-50 %volume and 0-100 %volume detectors will not display a reading in fresh air because their ranges are too large. Store the components of the calibration kit in a safe and convenient place. 12 • 61-1004RK/61-0191RK Combustible Gas Detector...
