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.
-40°F to 104°F (-40°C to 40°C) WARNING: When using the 65-2330RKSS, you must follow the instructions and warnings in this manual to assure proper and safe operation of the 65-2330RKSS and to minimize the risk of personal injury. Be sure to maintain and periodically calibrate the 65-2330RKSS as described in this manual.
S transmitter. The H S transmitter is a 4-20 mA type detector head. It consists of the H S detector, amplifier, and junction box. Amplifier Junction Box H2S Detector Figure 1: H S Transmitter Component Location 6 • 65-2330RKSS H S Transmitter...
The sensor is secured within the detector assembly by the housing cap. Through a series of chemical and electrical reactions, the sensor produces an electrical output that corresponds to the detection range of the transmitter. 65-2330RKSS H S Transmitter • 7...
The span pot is located to the right of the zero pot (see Figure 3). Use a small flat blade screwdriver to turn the span pot’s adjustment screw and adjust the amplifier’s response output during the calibration procedure. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to increase the output and counterclockwise to decrease the output. 8 • 65-2330RKSS H S Transmitter...
The amplifier is factory installed in the junction box. A cover on the front of the junction box allows access to the interior of the junction box. A locking set screw on the junction box cover allows you to secure the junction box cover and prevent it from being removed. 65-2330RKSS H S Transmitter • 9...

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. 12 • 65-2330RKSS H S 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.
Quarterly Calibrate the H S transmitter as described in “Calibration” on page 20. See the calibration frequency discussion in “Calibration Frequency” on page 19 to determine if a quarterly calibration schedule fits your needs. 14 • 65-2330RKSS H S Transmitter...
6. If the fail condition continues, amplifier is contact RKI for further instruction. disconnected or misconnected. • The transmitter’s zero reading is low enough to cause a fail condition. • The transmitter is malfunctioning. 65-2330RKSS H S Transmitter • 15...
5. Remove the replacement sensor from its packaging and remove the wire jumper. This wire jumper is installed on the sensor pins for shipment or storage but must be removed for the sensor to operate properly when installed in a detector. 16 • 65-2330RKSS H S Transmitter...

Make sure the amplifier is seated flat in the junction box. 8. Install the new amplifier into the junction box with the screw, lock washer, and flat washer you removed in Step 5. 18 • 65-2330RKSS H S Transmitter...
Although there is no particular calibration frequency that is correct for all applications, a calibration frequency of every 3 months is adequate for most H S transmitter applications. Unless experience in a particular application dictates otherwise, RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends a calibration frequency of every 3 months for the H S transmitter.
It describes the test 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.
4. When the display reading falls below the alarm setpoints, return the controller to normal operation. 5. Verify that the controller display reading decreases and stabilizes at 0 ppm. 6. Store the components of the calibration kit in a safe and convenient place. 65-2330RKSS H S Transmitter • 21...
