Product Warranty RKI Instruments, Inc. (Manufacturer) warrants its products to be free of defects in workmanship and materials—under normal use and service—for one year from the date of purchase from the manufacturer or from the product's authorized reseller. The manufacturer is not liable (under this warranty) if its testing and examination disclose that the alleged defect in the product does not exist or was caused by the purchaser's (or any third party's) misuse, neglect, or improper installation, testing or calibrations.
Once the threshold value of a relay is reached, the relay is activated. However, the AirLink 7010 screen will not lock on the channel with a triggered relay while the reading is below the Relay Set Point (the user must scroll through the channels to find the channel with a triggered relay).
About this Manual The AirLink 7010 Gas Monitor Operator’s Manual uses the following conventions for notes, cautions, and warnings: NOTE: Describes additional or critical information. CAUTION: Describes potential damage to equipment. WARNING: Describes potential danger that can result in injury or death.
Specifications Table 1 lists specifications for the AirLink 7010. Table 1: AirLink 7010 Specifications Description Specification Input Power 110/240V ~ 12 - 35 V Current Draw 175 mA max at 24 VDC (monitor without sensor assemblies); 6.6 Watts max Operating Temperature -22°F to 158°F (-30°C to 70°C)
2. Close and latch the housing door. 3. Prepare the selected mounting site as required to mount the AirLink 7010. It should be mounted at eye level (4 1/2 to 5 feet from the floor). Refer to Figure 4 for the outline and mounting dimensions.

Connecting Sensors The AirLink 7010 allows up to 32 WireFree sensor assemblies or up to 28 WireFree sensor assemblies and 4 wired 4-20 mA type sensor assemblies to be monitored. 1. Open the enclosure box to expose the Front Panel.
Page 20
Relay Wiring The AirLink 7010 has four relays. Each of the four relays may be setup as Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC). See page 42 for more explanation about relay actuation. NOTE: If installed, the strobe is factory wired to the Relay 1 terminals and the horn is factory wired to the Relay 2 terminals.
CAUTION: The internal components can be static sensitive. Use caution when opening the enclosure and handling internal components. Once power is supplied to the AirLink 7010—by being plugged into an AC outlet or by being wired to a DC power supply—the display screen and LEDs will illuminate.
Page 23
Normal Operation The AirLink 7010 can monitor up to 32 WireFree sensor assemblies or up to 28 WireFree sensor assemblies and up to 4 wired sensor assemblies. When in Normal Operating Mode, configured channels are scanned through, 2 channels at a time, every 3 seconds.
