    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 5 for maximum tubing lengths based on tubing size.
  • Page 14: Wiring The Sample-Draw Detector To A Controller

    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-12-02 for detector/terminal strip connections specific to the controller.

  • Page 24: Calibration Frequency

    Although there is no particular calibration frequency that is correct for all applications, a calibration frequency of every 3 months is adequate for most sample draw detector applications. Unless experience in a particular application dictates otherwise, RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends a calibration frequency of every 3 months for the H S detector and every 6 months for the infrared detector.
