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.

Figure 5: Wiring the Sample-Draw Detector to a Controller If shielded cable is used, connect the cable’s drain wire to an available chassis (earth) ground at the controller. RKI controllers typically have a ground stud that can be used to ground the cable’s drain wire.
Plug the voltmeter leads into the test points on the amplifier. Plug the positive lead into the red (+) test point; plug the negative lead into the black (-) test point. Verify a voltmeter reading of 100 mV (± 2 mV). 35-3001-04 Carbon Monoxide Sample-Draw Detector • 11 GlobalTestSupply www.
Preparing for the response test NOTE: This procedure describes the RKI calibration kit that includes a demand flow regulator. Verify that the display reading at the controller is 0 ppm. If the display reading is not 0 ppm, set the zero reading as described in “Calibration” on page 19, then continue this procedure.
Verify that the sensor wiring is correct and secure. “Wiring the Sample-Draw Detector to a Controller” on page 9 describes sensor wiring connections. Calibrate the sample-draw detector as described in “Calibration” on page 19. 35-3001-04 Carbon Monoxide Sample-Draw Detector • 13 GlobalTestSupply www.
If the fail condition continues, replace the sensor as described in “Replacing Components of the Sample-Draw Detector” on page 14. If the fail condition continues, contact RKI Instruments, Inc. for further instruction. Slow or No Response/Difficult or Unable to Calibrate Symptoms •...

3 months is adequate for most carbon monoxide 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 carbon monoxide sample draw detector.
Close the housing door. Follow the instructions in the controller’s operator’s manual to exit the calibration mode. Store the components of the calibration kit in a safe and convenient place. 20 • 35-3001-04 Carbon Monoxide Sample-Draw Detector GlobalTestSupply www. .com Find Quality Products Online at: sales@GlobalTestSupply.com...
