Push 1/4” O.D. rigid polypropylene or rigid Teflon sample tubing into the fitting until it stops. Flexible polyurethane tubing may be used with an appropriate insert. RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends using either 1/4” O.D. x 1/8” I.D. or 1/4” O.D. x 0.170” I.D. tubing based on your length requirements. - Page 15 Connect the wires to the applicable detector/transmitter terminal strip at the controller as shown in Figure 6. Refer to the controller operator’s manual and the controller detector head specification sheet for the 35-3001A-04-03 for detector/terminal strip connections specific to the controller.
