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.
WARNING: When using the 65-2432RK-05, you must follow the instructions and warnings in this manual to assure proper and safe operation of the 65-2432RK-05 and to minimize the risk of personal injury. Be sure to maintain and periodically calibrate the 65-2432RK-05 as described in this manual.
The cap protects the sensor from damage and includes a flame arrestor which contains any sparks which may occur within the detector housing. A cap gasket seals the interface between the housing and cap. A flame arrestor guard is permanently bonded to the cap. 6 • 65-2432RK-05 CO Transmitter...
The span pot is on the left side of the amplifier. Of the three potentiometers, the span pot is bottom most. Use the span pot to adjust the transmitter’s response output during the calibration procedure. 65-2432RK-05 CO Transmitter • 7...
• 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. 8 • 65-2432RK-05 CO Transmitter...

5. At the monitoring site, use #10 screws through the junction box’s two mounting holes to secure the junction box to a vertical surface. CAUTION: Mount the CO transmitter with the detector facing down (see Figure 2). 65-2432RK-05 CO Transmitter • 9...
9. Route the cable or wires leading from the CO transmitter through one of the conduit hubs at the controller housing. 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. 10 • 65-2432RK-05 CO Transmitter...

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. 65-2432RK-05 CO Transmitter • 11...
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. 65-2432RK-05 CO Transmitter • 13...
1. Verify that the calibration cylinder contains an adequate supply of a fresh test sample. 2. If the calibration/response difficulties continue, replace the CO 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 CO Transmitter This section includes procedure to replace the CO sensor and amplifier.
