This manual describes how to handle model RI-2000W (may be described as “this instrument” in this manual) and its specifications. Very important terms are written in this manual so please read this carefully, even if you have experience in gas monitoring.
・ Model RI-2000W is not explosion-proof structured. Never use this instrument to detect gas above the Lower Explosive Level, or in hazardous environment. Model RI-2000W may explode or cause fire if there is presence of flammable gas. 2-2 Terms of “Warning”...
・Make sure to attach a dust filter on the gas inlet before using RI-2000W. If the filter isn’t attached properly and dust get’s inside, it will cause false operation and damage the instrument.

There may be negative effect to RI-2000W when the loading is controlled because of loading characteristics. Please take the measures below to stabilise operation and to protect the contacts in such case. Please attach a surge absorber (a CR circuit, a spark killer or a diode if it is a DC relay) within the rating of on the relay coil with a under voltage relay directly.
If not, it may cause damage or electrical shocks. ・Make sure to have RI-2000W earthed and never let earthing wire to get close to the gas hose. ・Please earth within 100Ω earth resistance.
4-6 Suitable cables CAUTION ・Use junction box if you are using a wire that cannot go through the cable port of RI-2000W. 4-6-1 Power cable Please use relevant cables to CVVS 1.25 to 2.0 sq. 4-6-2 4-20mA signal/ contact signal line Please use signal lines relevant to CVVS 1.25 to 2.0sq.
(GAS IN and GAS OUT) because the tube may tare loose from the instrument and leak hazardous gas. Please use RI-2000W in normal pressure. ・Please connect an exhaust tube on the gas outlet that is on the bottom side of the...

(1)About the sample gas inlet The sample gas inlets connector size is a PT1/4 female thread. A propylene male connector is a standard accessory. The piping that matches is a φ6(0D)-φ4(1D) size Teflon tube. CAUTION ・Please make sure put on the inner and sleeve when installing, pay attention to avoid gas leakage ・The tubes material and length depends on target gas.
TEST/▼for 3 sec. Alarm test mode press and hold down ALARM/SET for 3 sec. Check alarm point * NOTE Please let RI-2000W to operate at least 4 hours warm up after it hasn’t been used for a long time.
If the ball is not above the red line, please adjust the flow rate with the flow rate adjuster. 5. The instrument will start detecting gas after it finishes warming up 60 minutes. RI-2000W will go through these operations while warming up and preparing for detection. The indications on the display will be as below. RI-2000W it will display the target gas and the measuring range.
Please confirm the flow rate by the flow rate monitor that is on the front too. Keep the ball in sight and above the red line. The flow rate can be adjusted by RI-2000W itself, above 1.0 litre within the temperature range of it. If you have to draw gas from a distant place, please contact us.
AL2: ALARM MNT: MAINTENANCE * NOTE The symbols and locations of the LED and LCD are different from the real RI-2000W. These are some examples of the operating condition. ZERO ● ○ ○ ○ Zero will be displayed as on the right if the gas concentration that has been observed is within the zero suppression set value.
Page 26
Over scale ● ○ ○ ○ The display will indicate “OVER” if the concentration exceeds full scale. N20 : OVER ppm Gas alarm condition Gas alarms will activate if the gas concentration exceeds the 1st or 2nd alarm set point. The gas concentration will be displayed and the LED indicators will flash.
5-4-2 Output signals 1. Signal transmission system: 4-20mA (non-insulated, discharge energy) 2. Recommended transmission cable: equivalent of CVVS 3. Transmission distance: shorter than 1km Connected load resistance: less than 300Ω 5. Level of signals in each condition 1. Detection mode: 4 to 22 mA (depends on gas concentration) 2.
4. After adjusting the zero point, the solenoid will switch the sample line to the sample gas inlet. 5. RI-2000W will go back to detection mode and monitor gas concentration after 3 minutes have passed. (End of zero adjustment) 6. Periodically operate zero adjustments.
Please adjust the zero point periodically or in each case, by zero point adjusting mode(zero calibration mode). If the instrument was turned off for a long time, please adjust the zero point after running RI-2000W for 4 or 5 hours. * NOTE ...
The LCD will display “HOLD ZERO KEY”. To interrupt, release your finger. 2. RI-2000W will go into alarm test mode and “CONTACT: NO-ACT” will be displayed. Press ▲or ▼ to choose the contact operation. NO-ACT: the contact will not act ACT: the contact will act 3.
4. Press ▲ and make the gas concentration on the LCD rise. The 1st alarm will operate after the alarm retardation time when the numbers exceed the 1st alarm set point. “WARNING” will flash on the LED after the alarm retardation time, the alarm contact will activate if “ACT”...
・If using an energized alarm contact (optional service), please confirm and take measures against external instruments linked with RI-2000W before turning it off. The alarm contact will activate when RI-2000W is turned off and will cause false operation of external instruments.
6 Alarms 6-1 Alarm types RI-2000W has two types of alarms, a gas alarm and a trouble alarm. Gas alarm: The alarm will activate when the gas concentration exceeds the preset gas level (alarm set point) . Trouble alarm: An alarm to notice there is trouble (failure) in RI-2000W. The instrument will start from warm up phase when it recovers from trouble states.
6-3 Gas alarm 6-3-1 Operations RI-2000W will operate as the following when it detects gas concentration higher than the alarm set point. 1. Indications LED lamps WARNING lamp: will activate when the gas concentration exceeds the 1st alarm set point.
Observe the gas concentration with a portable gas analyser. 5. Take measures after confirming there is no danger left. 6-3-3 False gas alarms RI-2000W may activate gas alarms in some cases that are not caused by gas. These are some examples. 1. Interference gases Please ask your nearest agent about interferences.

10. Detecting principal The detection method of RI-2000W is gas filter correlation. It is a part of NDIR (absorption of infrared radiation) based detecting, but it has better selectivity and stability than normal NDIR methods. There is an inlet for gas to enter the sample cell (white cell) and an outlet to let the gas go out.
