If the display reading is 0% LEL, start up is complete. The combustible 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. 10 • 61-1000RK-05/61-0140RK-05 Combustible Gas Detector... -

(see Figure 3). See the controller operator’s manual and the controller’s detector head specification sheet for the 61-1000RK-05 detector to verify the connections to the controller are correct. -
Page 13: Calibration
Although there is no particular calibration frequency that is correct for all applications, a calibration frequency of every 3 to 6 months is adequate for most combustible gas detector applications. Unless experience in a particular application dictates otherwise, RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends a calibration frequency of every 3 months. -
Page 14: Setting The Zero Reading
NOTE: If you do not allow the gas reading to decrease below the alarm points, then unwanted alarms may occur. 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. 14 • 61-1000RK-05/61-0140RK-05 Combustible Gas Detector... -
