    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...
  • Page 7: H 2 S Detector

    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...
  • Page 8: Amplifier

    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...
  • Page 9: Junction Box

    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...

    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.

  • Page 19: Calibration Frequency

    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.
