Oxygen (O Area Classification Explosionproof for Class I, Groups B, C, and D Sampling Method Diffusion Signal Output 4 - 20 mA Detection Range 0 to 25.0% VOL (by volume) Response Time 90% in 30 seconds 65-2507RK Oxygen Transmitter • 4...
(3/4 in. NPT) at the top of the detector housing allow you to mount the oxygen detector into the bottom conduit hub of the junction box. Detector leads Two color-coded leads extend from the top of the detector. The leads allow you to connect the oxygen detector to the amplifier. 65-2507RK Oxygen Transmitter • 5...
The test points produce a 100 - 500 mV output that is proportional to the transmitter’s 4 - 20 mA output. Use the test points and a voltmeter to measure the transmitter’s output during the start-up and calibration procedures. 65-2507RK Oxygen Transmitter • 6...
Use the junction box’s two mounting holes to mount the oxygen transmitter to a vertical surface at the monitoring site. Use the cover on the front of the junction box to access the interior of the junction box. 65-2507RK Oxygen Transmitter • 7...

10. Route the cable or wires leading from the oxygen transmitter through one of the conduit hubs at the controller. CAUTION: Do not route power and transmitter wiring through the same conduit hub. The power cable may disrupt the transmission of the transmitter signal to the controller. 65-2507RK Oxygen Transmitter • 9...

Verify a voltmeter reading of 434 mV (±2 mV). If necessary, use a flat-blade screwdriver to adjust the span potentiometer until the voltmeter reading is 434 mV (±2 mV). Secure the junction box cover to the junction box. 65-2507RK Oxygen Transmitter • 11...
When the display reading rises above the decreasing alarm setpoint, return the controller to normal operation. Quarterly Calibrate the oxygen transmitter as described in “Calibration” on page 16 of this manual. 65-2507RK Oxygen Transmitter • 12...

If necessary, use the zero potentiometer on the amplifier to adjust the reading to 100 mV (±2 mV). Unscrew the regulator from the calibration cylinder. Remove the calibration cup from the oxygen detector. NOTE: For convenience, leave the components of the calibration kit connected by the sample tubing. 65-2507RK Oxygen Transmitter • 16...
