12. 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. 65-2340RKSS Toxic Gas Transmitter • 7...
If necessary, use a small flat-blade screwdriver to adjust the zero pot until the voltmeter reading is 100 mV (±2 mV). Remove the voltmeter leads from the test points. Secure the junction box cover to the junction box. 8 • 65-2340RKSS Toxic Gas Transmitter...

Allow the gas to flow for two minutes and verify a reading of 100 mV (±2 mV). If necessary, use the zero pot on the amplifier to adjust the reading to 100 mV (±2 mV). Turn the regulator knob clockwise to close the regulator. 65-2340RKSS Toxic Gas Transmitter • 15...
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 ppm. Store the components of the calibration kit in a safe and convenient place. 16 • 65-2340RKSS Toxic Gas Transmitter...
