    (flame arrestor end). The rainshield helps protect the detector from rain and debris in the monitoring environment. Four color-coded leads extend from the top of the detector. The leads allow you to connect the detector to the amplifier. 2 • 65-2451RK Hydrogen Transmitter GlobalTestSupply www.
  • Page 7: Amplifier

    Consult RKI Instruments, Inc. if you plan to change the calibration gas for the transmitter, for example from a hydrogen calibration to a methane calibration. The amplifier includes the detector terminal strip, controller terminal strip, span pot, zero pot, and test points (see Figure 1).

    3 months may be necessary. If potential catalyst poisons are known or likely to be present, more frequent calibration than every 3 months will be necessary. 12 • 65-2451RK Hydrogen Transmitter GlobalTestSupply www.
  • Page 17: Calibration

    Allow the gas to flow for one minute and verify a reading of 100 mV (±2 mV). If necessary, use the zero pot on the amplifier to adjust the reading to 100 mV (±2 mV). Turn the regulator knob clockwise to close the regulator. 65-2451RK Hydrogen Transmitter • 13 GlobalTestSupply www.
  • Page 18: Setting The Response Reading

    When the controller display reading falls below the alarm setpoints, return the controller to normal operation. Verify that the controller display reading decreases and stabilizes at 0 %LEL. Store the components of the calibration kit in a safe and convenient place. 14 • 65-2451RK Hydrogen Transmitter GlobalTestSupply www. .com Find Quality Products Online at: sales@GlobalTestSupply.com...
