    It consists of the CO detector, amplifier, and junction box. Controller Terminal Strip Factory Adjust Pot Span Pot Zero Pot Amplifier + Test Point (Red) Detector Terminal Strip - Test Point (Black) J-Box CO Detector Figure 1: CO Transmitter Component Location 6 • 65-2336RK CO Transmitter...
  • Page 7: Co Detector

    The sensor is secured within the detector assembly by the housing cap. Through a series of chemical and electrical reactions, the sensor produces an electrical output that corresponds to the detection range of the transmitter. 65-2336RK CO Transmitter • 7...
  • Page 8: Amplifier

    The test points are on the left side of the amplifier (see Figure 1). The test points produce a 100 mV to 500 mV output that corresponds to the transmitter’s 4 to 20 mA output. Use the test points and a voltmeter to measure the amplifier’s output during the start-up and calibration 8 • 65-2336RK CO Transmitter...

    10. Route the cable or wires leading from the CO transmitter through one of the conduit hubs at the controller housing. CAUTION: Do not route power and transmitter wiring through the same controller conduit hub. The power cable may disrupt the transmission of the transmitter signal to the controller. 65-2336RK CO Transmitter • 11...
  • Page 12 Figure 4: Wiring the CO Transmitter to a Controller 12. If shielded cable is used, connect the cable’s drain wire to an available chassis (earth) ground at the controller. RKI controllers typically have a ground stud that can be used to ground the cable’s drain wire.

    The procedure below describes applying zero emission air, usually called zero air, using a calibration kit that includes a calibration cup, calibration gas, sample tubing, and a fixed flow regulator with an on/off knob. RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends using a 0.5 LPM (liters per minute) fixed flow regulator.
