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-06-02 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-06-02 Sample-Draw Detector • 3...

CO and oxygen channels and the 4-20 mA signal for the CO channel. This causes a downscale reading at the monitor on these channel. The low flow level is factory-set at 0.6 SCFH (±0.2 SCFH). 4 • 35-3010RK-06-02 Sample-Draw Detector...
CO sensor signal and the one of the right is for the H S sensor signal. Since there is no H S channel, the cable on the right is not used. 35-3010RK-06-02 Sample-Draw Detector • 5...

A small reset button is located in the upper left corner of the main PCB. When a low flow condition occurs, the pump will be shut off. To reset the low flow condition and start the pump again, press and hold the reset switch for about 2 seconds, then release. 35-3010RK-06-02 Sample-Draw Detector • 7...
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. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the remaining three mounting feet. 8 • 35-3010RK-06-02 Sample-Draw Detector...
Figure 5. Refer to the controller’s operator’s manual for the controller’s detector/transmitter’s terminal designations. The CO and oxygen detector channels are direct connect and the CO channel is a 4 - 20 mA transmitter. 35-3010RK-06-02 Sample-Draw Detector • 9...

If necessary use the bypass valve or flow adjust potentiometer to adjust the flow rate to 1.2 SCFH. Verify a reading of 20.9% for the oxygen channel, 0 ppm for the CO channel (100 mV 35-3010RK-06-02 Sample-Draw Detector • 13...
The troubleshooting guide describes symptoms, probable causes, and recommended action for problems you may encounter with the sample-draw gas detector. NOTE: This troubleshooting guide describes sample-draw detector problems only.

If the fail condition continues, replace the sensor from the problem channel or channels as described later in this section. If the fail condition continues, contact RKI Instruments, Inc. for further instruction. Slow or No Response/Difficult or Unable to Calibrate Symptoms •...
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 oxygen sensor, the carbon monoxide sensor, the carbon dioxide sensor, the hydrophobic filter, and the charcoal filter.
Verify that the low flow alarm is 0.6 SCFH (±0.2). Repeat steps 3 and 4 if necessary. Use the flow adjust potentiometer (VR1) to set the flow to 1.2 SCFH. Make sure the sample-draw detector’s Fail light is off. 35-3010RK-06-02 Sample-Draw Detector • 17...
6 months for most infrared CO applications. Unless experience in a particular application dictates otherwise, RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends a calibration frequency of every 3 months for the oxygen and CO detectors and every 6 months for the infrared CO detector.
Wait 1 to 2 minutes to allow the calibration gas to be drawn out and the reading to stabilize. Close the housing door. Store the components of the calibration kit in a safe and convenient place. 35-3010RK-06-02 Sample-Draw Detector • 19...
Allow the gas to flow for one minute. Set the response (span) reading according to the controller operator’s manual to match the calibration gas concentration. Disconnect the sample tubing from the inlet line. Unscrew the regulator from the calibration cylinder. 20 • 35-3010RK-06-02 Sample-Draw Detector...
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. Connect the calibration kit sample tubing to the regulator. 35-3010RK-06-02 Sample-Draw Detector • 21...
