A cap gasket seals the interface between the housing and cap. Rubber Boot and Spacer A rubber boot and spacer are installed between the detector housing cap and the sensor. They help ensure that the detector remains plugged into the detector housing body. 65-2422RK-05 H S Transmitter • 7...
The zero pot is above the span pot. Use the zero pot to adjust the transmitter’s target gas-free output during the start-up and calibration procedures. CAUTION:The third potentiometer is factory-set. Do not adjust it. 8 • 65-2422RK-05 H S Transmitter...
• Select a site where the target gas is likely to be found first. NOTE: If your application does not require a specific mounting site, mount the transmitter at approximately breathing level. 65-2422RK-05 H S Transmitter • 9...

11. 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 • 65-2422RK-05 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.
The controller indicates a fail condition. Probable causes • The transmitter wiring is disconnected or misconnected. • The transmitter’s zero reading is low enough to cause a fail condition. • The transmitter is malfunctioning. 14 • 65-2422RK-05 H S Transmitter...
1. Verify that the calibration cylinder contains an adequate supply of a fresh test sample. 2. If the calibration/response difficulties continue, replace the H S sensor as described later in this section. 3. If the calibration/response difficulties continue, contact RKI Instruments, Inc. for further instruction. Replacing Components of the H S Transmitter This section includes procedure to replace the H S sensor and amplifier.
