Figure 1: Hydrogen Sample-Draw Detector Component Location External Components This section describes the sample-draw detector’s external components. Housing The sample-draw detector’s fiberglass housing is weather- and corrosion-resistant. It is suitable for installation where general purpose equipment is in use. 2 • 35-3001-01H Hydrogen Sample-Draw Detector...
Figure 2: Hydrogen Sample-Draw Detector Flow Diagram Main Circuit Board The main circuit board includes the detector/amp terminal strip, interconnect terminal strip, oxygen sensor terminal strip, pump connector, and flowmeter circuit board connector (see Figure 1). 35-3001-01H Hydrogen Sample-Draw Detector • 3...

The sensor flow control valve is mounted to the flowmeter circuit board above the flowmeter. The sensor flow control valve adjusts the flow rate to the detector. Turn the valve’s knob counterclockwise to increase the flow and clockwise to decrease the flow. 4 • 35-3001-01H Hydrogen 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.
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.

Connect the wires to the applicable detector/transmitter terminal strip at the controller as shown in Figure 4. Refer to the controller operator’s manual and the controller detector head specification sheet for the 35-3001-01H for detector/terminal strip connections specific to the controller.
If the display reading is not 0 % LEL, continue with step 3. Perform a zero operation at the controller. See “Setting the Zero Reading” on page 16 and the controller operator’s manual for instructions to perform a zero operation. 10 • 35-3001-01H Hydrogen Sample-Draw Detector...
± 20% of the concentration of the test sample. If the reading is not within ± 20% of the test sample, calibrate the sample-draw detector as described in “Calibration” on page 16. Remove the calibration tubing from the inlet fitting, then reconnect the sample tubing to the inlet fitting. 35-3001-01H Hydrogen Sample-Draw Detector • 11...
Calibrate the sample-draw detector as described in “Calibration” on page 16. If the fail condition continues, replace the sensor as described in “Replacing the Hydrogen Sensor” on page 13. If the fail condition continues, contact RKI Instruments, Inc. for further instruction. Slow or No Response/Difficult or Unable to Calibrate Symptoms •...
If you cannot set the correct flow rate, check the sample line for obstructions or kinks. If the calibration/response difficulties continue, replace the sensor as described later in this section. If the calibration/response difficulties continue, contact RKI Instruments, Inc. for further instruction. Replacing Components of the Hydrogen Sample-Draw Detector This section includes procedures to replace the sensor, hydrophobic filter, and particle filter.
If the low flow alarm is set too high, turn the pressure switch adjustment screw slightly clockwise. Repeat steps 3 and 4 if necessary. Use the sensor flow control valve to set the flow to 1.0 SCFH. Make sure the sample-draw detector’s Fail LED is off. 14 • 35-3001-01H Hydrogen Sample-Draw Detector...
Screw the inlet fitting tube nut back onto the fitting body. See “Connecting the Sample Lines to the Sample-Draw Detector” on page 7 for instructions to install a new piece of tubing into the fitting. 35-3001-01H Hydrogen Sample-Draw Detector • 15...
Although there is no particular calibration frequency that is correct for all sample draw detector applications, a calibration frequency of every 3 to 6 months is adequate for most applications. Unless experience in a particular application dictates otherwise, RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends a calibration frequency of every 3 months.
