Plug-in Oxygen Sensor The plug-in sensor is secured in the detector assembly by the housing cap. Through a series of chemical and electrical reactions, the sensor produces a millivolt output that corresponds to 65-2322RK Oxygen Transmitter • 7 1.800.544.2843 www.calcert.com...
The black test point in the lower left corner is the negative (-) test point and the red test point below the zero pot is the positive (+) test point. 8 • 65-2322RK Oxygen Transmitter 1.800.544.2843 www.calcert.com...
Select a site where the transmitter is not likely to be bumped or disturbed. Make sure there is sufficient room to perform start-up, maintenance, and calibration procedures. • Select a site that is at normal breathing level. 65-2322RK Oxygen Transmitter • 9 1.800.544.2843 www.calcert.com sales@calcert.com...

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 • 65-2322RK Oxygen Transmitter 1.800.544.2843 www.calcert.com...
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.
Calibrate the oxygen transmitter as described in “Calibration” on page 18 of this manual. See the calibration frequency discussion in “Calibration Frequency” on page 18 to determine if a quarterly calibration schedule fits your needs. 14 • 65-2322RK Oxygen Transmitter 1.800.544.2843 www.calcert.com...
4. If the calibration/response difficulties frequent calibration continue, replace the plug-in sensor schedule. as described later in this section. 5. If the calibration/response difficulties continue, contact RKI for further instruction. 65-2322RK Oxygen Transmitter • 15 1.800.544.2843 www.calcert.com sales@calcert.com...
4. Remove the detector terminal strip from its socket. 5. Disconnect the detector leads from the detector terminal strip. Note the position of the color-coded leads as you remove them. 6. Unscrew the detector from the junction box conduit hub. 16 • 65-2322RK Oxygen Transmitter 1.800.544.2843 www.calcert.com sales@calcert.com...

Be sure to make arrangements so that this does not cause unwanted alarms. 9. Turn on power to the controller. 10. Turn on the controller and place it into normal operation. 65-2322RK Oxygen Transmitter • 17 1.800.544.2843 www.calcert.com sales@calcert.com...
Although there is no particular calibration frequency that is correct for all applications, a calibration frequency of every 3 months is adequate for most oxygen transmitter applications. Unless experience in a particular application dictates otherwise, RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends a calibration frequency of every 3 months for the oxygen transmitter.
5. Unscrew the regulator from the calibration cylinder. 6. Unscrew the calibration cup from the detector housing cap. NOTE: For convenience, leave the regulator and calibration cup connected by the sample tubing. 65-2322RK Oxygen Transmitter • 19 1.800.544.2843 www.calcert.com sales@calcert.com...
NOTE: If you do not allow the gas reading to increase above the decreasing alarm point, then unwanted alarms may occur. 4. Verify that the controller display reading increases and stabilizes at 20.9% volume. 5. Store the components of the calibration kit in a safe and convenient place. 20 • 65-2322RK Oxygen Transmitter 1.800.544.2843 www.calcert.com sales@calcert.com...
