3.62 Figure 2: 65-2515RK Outline & Mounting Dimensions NOTE: The oxygen detector in the 65-2515RK is normally provided with an Adalet XIHSCFC3 junction box rated explosion proof for Class I, Groups B, C, and D. This combination is shown in Figure 2 above. Any junction box with an internal volume less than or equal to 69 cubic inches and rated explosion proof for Class I, Groups B, C, and D may be used for this detector.
9. Connect the wires to the applicable controller terminal strip as shown in Figure 3 below. See the controller operator’s manual and the controller’s detector head specification sheet for wiring information specific to a controller. 65-2515RK Oxygen Detector • 9 1.800.544.2843 www.calcert.com...

Figure 3: Wiring the Oxygen Detector to a Controller 10. If using shielded cable, connect the cable’s drain wire to an available chassis ground at the controller. RKI controllers typically have a ground stud that is a convenient grounding location. 10 • 65-2515RK Oxygen Detector 1.800.544.2843 www.calcert.com sales@calcert.com...
RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends using a 0.5 LPM (liters per minute) fixed flow regulator. 1. Screw the calibration cup onto the bottom of the oxygen detector.
It includes daily and quarterly procedures. Daily Verify a display reading of 20.9% oxygen at the controller. Investigate significant changes in the reading. Quarterly Calibrate the detector as described in “Calibration” on page 15. 12 • 65-2515RK Oxygen Detector 1.800.544.2843 www.calcert.com sales@calcert.com...
5. Carefully plug the replacement sensor into the socket pattern that is located in the top section of the detector housing. NOTE: Match the sensor’s male pins with the two female sockets as you plug the sensor into the sockets. 65-2515RK Oxygen Detector • 13 1.800.544.2843 www.calcert.com sales@calcert.com...
