Page 12: Connecting The Sample Lines To The Sample-Draw Detector
1/4” O.D. rigid polypropylene, Teflon, or flexible polyurethane tubing may be used. 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. See “Specifications” on page 1 for maximum tubing lengths based on tubing size. -

Page 22: Calibration Frequency
Although there is no particular calibration frequency that is correct for all applications, a calibration frequency of every 6 months is adequate for most infrared combustible gas sample draw applications. Unless experience in a particular application dictates otherwise, RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends a calibration frequency of every 6 months. -
Page 23: Setting The Zero Reading
Remove the voltmeter leads from the amplifier test points. Close the housing door. Follow the instructions in the controller’s operator’s manual to exit the calibration mode.
