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 35-3010RK-03, you must follow the instructions and warnings in this manual to assure proper and safe operation of the 35-3010RK-03 and to minimize the risk of personal injury. Be sure to maintain and periodically calibrate the 35-3010RK-03 as described in this manual.
Use the two conduit hubs on the bottom of the housing to make wiring connections. An aluminum subpanel is mounted to the interior of the housing. The sample draw detector’s internal components are mounted to the subpanel. 2 • 35-3010RK-03 Sample-Draw Detector...
It prevents water and other liquids from contaminating the flow system. Replace the filter when it appears dirty, discolored, or clogged. If a liquid other than water is drawn into the filter, replace the filter as soon as possible. 35-3010RK-03 Sample-Draw Detector • 3...

LEL and oxygen channels and the 4-20 mA signal for CO channel. This causes a downscale reading at the controller on each channel resulting in a fail alarm. The low flow level is factory-set at 0.6 SCFH (±0.2 SCFH). 4 • 35-3010RK-03 Sample-Draw Detector...
The sensor leads are soldered to the male connector. Sensor Leads Two color-coded leads extend from the connector. The leads allow you to connect the oxygen sensor to the main circuit board. 35-3010RK-03 Sample-Draw Detector • 5...

Hydrogen Sulfide Gas Sensor The hydrogen sulfide gas sensor position is located in the upper right side of the flow block. In the 35-3010RK-03, the hydrogen sulfide gas sensor position in the flow block is occupied by a dummy sensor.

S channel. Since there is no H S channel in the 35-3010RK-03, Amp 2 is not used. The zero and span pots are used during calibration. Use the span pot to make adjustments to gas response readings and the zero pot to make adjustments to the zero reading.
Slightly loosen the screw that secures one of the mounting feet to the housing, then rotate the mounting foot 180 degrees. Tighten the screw that secures the mounting foot to the housing. 8 • 35-3010RK-03 Sample-Draw Detector...
Figure 5. Refer to the controller operator’s manual for the controller’s detector/transmitter’s terminal designations. The LEL and oxygen detector channels are direct connect type and the CO channel is 4 - 20 mA transmitter. 35-3010RK-03 Sample-Draw Detector • 9...

If necessary, use a small flat-blade screwdriver to adjust the zero pot until the voltmeter reading is 100 mV (± 2 mV). Verify a reading of 0% LEL on the LEL channel at the controller. 12 • 35-3010RK-03 Sample-Draw Detector...
Verify a reading of 0 %LEL for the combustible channel, 20.9% for the oxygen channel, and 0 ppm for the CO channel (100 mV at the amp 1 test points). Investigate significant changes in the reading. 35-3010RK-03 Sample-Draw Detector • 13...

Set the correct flow rate with the bypass valve or flow adjust potentiometer. If you cannot set the correct flow rate, check the sample lines for obstructions or kinks. If the fail condition continues, contact RKI Instruments, Inc. for further instruction. Controller Fail Condition...
If you cannot set the correct flow rate, check the sample line for obstructions or kinks. If the calibration/response difficulties continue, replace the sensor as described later in this section. If the calibration/response difficulties continue, contact RKI Instruments, Inc. for further instruction. Replacing Components of the Sample-Draw Detector This section includes procedures to replace the sensors, the hydrophobic filter, and the charcoal filter.
Repeat this step until you are able to adjust the flow to 0.6 SCFH. Slowly turn the low flow potentiometer counterclockwise just until the sample draw detector goes into low flow alarm. 35-3010RK-03 Sample-Draw Detector • 17...
INLET fitting. Allow the gas to flow for 1 minute. Set the zero reading according to the controller operator’s manual. Disconnect the sample tubing from the inlet line. 18 • 35-3010RK-03 Sample-Draw Detector...
NOTE: The 3-gas calibration cylinder included in the calibration kit may be used to zero the oxygen channel. Keep in mind that the oxygen concentration in that cylinder is 12%, not 0%. Be sure to set the controller appropriately. Screw the regulator into the 3-gas calibration cylinder. 35-3010RK-03 Sample-Draw Detector • 19...
NOTE: This procedure describes calibration using a demand flow regulator, a zero air calibration cylinder, and a 3-gas calibration cylinder. 20 • 35-3010RK-03 Sample-Draw Detector...
If necessary, use the AMP 1 span pot to adjust the reading to match the correct response reading. Disconnect the sample tubing from the sample draw detector’s inlet line. Unscrew the regulator from the calibration cylinder. 35-3010RK-03 Sample-Draw Detector • 21...
