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 35-3001-06-01 for detector/terminal strip connections specific to the controller.
If the display reading is 0 %LEL for the combustible channel and 20.9% for the oxygen channel, start up is complete. The sample-draw detector is in normal operation. If the display 10 • 35-3001-06-01 Combustible Gas/Oxygen Sample-Draw Detector...

If you cannot set the correct flow rate, check the sample lines for obstructions or kinks. Verify that the sensor wiring is correct and secure. “Wiring the Sample-Draw Detector to a Controller” on page 8 describes sensor wiring connections. 12 • 35-3001-06-01 Combustible Gas/Oxygen Sample-Draw Detector...
If the fail condition continues, replace the sensor(s) as described in “Replacing Components of the Sample-Draw Detector” 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 •...

Install the new filter. Be sure the side of the filter marked “INLET” is connected to the elbow that is connected to the inlet fitting. Turn on power to the controller. Turn on the controller. Verify that the flow rate is approximately 1.0 SCFH, then close the housing door. 14 • 35-3001-06-01 Combustible Gas/Oxygen Sample-Draw Detector...
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. 35-3001-06-01 Combustible Gas/Oxygen Sample-Draw Detector • 15...
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. 16 • 35-3001-06-01 Combustible Gas/Oxygen Sample-Draw Detector...
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.
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...
NOTE: If you do not allow the oxygen reading to return to normal, then unwanted alarms may occur. Verify that the controller display reading stabilizes at 20.9%. Store the components of the calibration kit in a safe and convenient place. 35-3001-06-01 Combustible Gas/Oxygen Sample-Draw Detector • 19...
