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 35-3010RKA-04, you must follow the instructions and warnings in this manual to assure proper and safe operation of the 35-3010RKA-04 and to minimize the risk of personal injury. Be sure to maintain and periodically calibrate the 35-3010RKA-04 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 • 35-3010RKA-04 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. 35-3010RKA-04 Sample-Draw Detector • 3...

LEL and oxygen channels and the signal in the 4-20 mA line for the CO and H S channels. 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 • 35-3010RKA-04 Sample-Draw Detector...
The cable that extends from the sensor terminates in a socket that plugs into a matching 7-pin male connector. The socket and connector allow you to replace the sensor without disconnecting the wiring. The sensor leads are soldered to the male connector. 35-3010RKA-04 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 35-3010RKA-04, the hydrogen sulfide gas sensor position in the flow block is occupied by a dummy sensor.

S sensor signal. Since both the CO and H S sensors are replaced with a dummy plug in the 35-3010RKA-04 the CO and H S sensor signal cables carry no signal in this version of the 35-3010RK. 35-3010RKA-04 Sample-Draw Detector • 7...

NOTE: The sensors and transmitters are factory wired to the sensor/transmitter terminal strip. See “Wiring the Sample-Draw Detector” on page 11 for all wiring procedures related to the sample-draw detector. 8 • 35-3010RKA-04 Sample-Draw Detector...

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. 35-3010RKA-04 Sample-Draw Detector • 9...
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. 10 • 35-3010RKA-04 Sample-Draw Detector...
Route the cable or wires in conduit leading from the sample-draw detector to the controller. Connect the drain wire to an available chassis ground at the controller. RKI controllers typically have a ground stud that can be used to ground the cable’s drain wire. 35-3010RKA-04 Sample-Draw Detector • 11...

Verify a voltmeter reading of 100 mV (± 2 mV). If necessary, use a small flat-blade screwdriver to adjust the zero pot until the voltmeter reading is 100 mV (± 2 mV). Close the housing door. 14 • 35-3010RKA-04 Sample-Draw Detector...
Verify that the controller is reading 0 for the combustible channel and 20.9 for the oxygen channel. If the reading is not 0 on the combustible channel or 20.9 on the oxygen channel, set 35-3010RKA-04 Sample-Draw Detector • 15...
Verify that the sensor and transmitter wiring are correct and secure. “Installation” on page 10 describes detector wiring connections. Calibrate the problem channel or channels as described in the Calibration section. If the fail condition continues, replace the sensor from the problem channel or 16 • 35-3010RKA-04 Sample-Draw Detector...
If the fail condition continues, contact RKI Instruments, Inc. for further instruction. Slow or No Response/Difficult or Unable to Calibrate Symptoms • One or more of the sensors respond slowly or does not respond during the monthly response test.
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 35-3010RKA-04 because it does not include a CO sensor. Turn off or unplug power to the controller.
Set a voltmeter to measure in the millivolt (mV) range. Plug the voltmeter into the test points on the LEL transmitter. Plug the positive lead into the test point labeled TP+; plug the negative lead into the test point labeled TP-. 35-3010RKA-04 Sample-Draw Detector • 19...
Remove the voltmeter leads from the test points. Reconnect the incoming sample line. Wait 1 to 2 minutes to allow the calibration gas to be drawn out and the reading to stabilize. Close the housing door. 20 • 35-3010RKA-04 Sample-Draw Detector...
(±2 mV) you determined earlier (292 mV for 12% oxygen). If necessary, use the span pot on the transmitter to adjust the reading to match the correct response reading. Disconnect the sample tubing from the inlet line. 35-3010RKA-04 Sample-Draw Detector • 21...
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. 22 • 35-3010RKA-04 Sample-Draw Detector...
