CAUTION: Do not route power and transmitter wiring through the same controller conduit hub. The power cable may disrupt the transmission of the transmitter signal to the controller. 11. Connect the wires to the applicable detector/transmitter terminal strip at the controller as shown in Figure 4. 10 • 65-2335RK CO Transmitter...

The procedure below describes applying zero emission air, usually called zero air, using a calibration kit that includes a calibration cup, calibration gas, sample tubing, and a fixed flow regulator with an on/off knob. RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends using a 0.5 LPM (liters per minute) fixed flow regulator.
6. If the fail condition continues, detector housing contact RKI for further body. instruction. • The transmitter’s zero reading is low enough to cause a fail condition. • The transmitter is malfunctioning. 65-2335RK CO Transmitter • 13...
1. Turn off the controller. 2. Turn off or unplug power to the controller. 3. Unscrew the detector housing cap from the detection housing body. Make sure not to lose the cap gasket. 14 • 65-2335RK CO Transmitter...
