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 21: Calibration Frequency
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 oxygen detector and every 6 months for the infrared LEL detector. -
Page 22: Setting The Response Reading
Allow the sample draw detector to draw sample for one minute. Follow the directions in the controller’s operator’s manual for setting the fresh air reading. Disconnect the sample tubing from the inlet fitting. Unscrew the regulator from the zero air calibration cylinder. 18 • 35-3001-06-01 Combustible Gas/Oxygen Sample-Draw Detector... -
