S channels (if installed). This causes a downscale reading at the monitor on these channels. The low flow level is factory-set at 0.6 SCFH (±0.2 SCFH). NOTE: There is no low flow indication for this version of the 35-3010. 8 • 35-3010A-13 Sample-Draw Detector...
The sensor connector mates to a 7-position socket that is wired to the main PCB. Carbon Monoxide Sensor The CO sensor position in the flow block is occupied by a plastic dummy plug in the 35-3010A-13. Hydrogen Sulfide Gas Sensor The H S sensor position in the flow block is occupied by a plastic dummy plug in the 35-3010A-13.

4-20 mA signal from the CO and H S channels which will cause a downscale reading at the controller or recording device. The 35-3010A-13 does not have a CO or H sensor installed so the relay has no effect in this version of the 35-3010.

6. Place the new hydrophobic filter back into the metal clamp. Replacing the Charcoal Filter NOTE: The charcoal filter does not normally need to be replaced in the 35-3010A-13 because it does not include a CO sensor. 1. Turn off or unplug power to the controller.
Although there is no particular calibration frequency that is correct for all applications, a calibration frequency of every 9 to 12 months is adequate for most sample draw detector applications. Unless experience in a particular application dictates otherwise, RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends a calibration frequency of every 9 months for the sample draw detector.
