12. 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. 65-2333 Hydrogen Cyanide Transmitter Operator’s Manual Installation • 11...
The procedure below describes applying zero emission air, usually called zero air, using a calibration kit that includes a calibration cup, calibration gas, sample tubing, and a fixed flow regulator with an on/off knob. RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends using a 0.5 LPM (liters per minute) fixed flow regulator.
Calibrate the HCN transmitter as described in “Calibration” on page 19. See the calibration frequency discussion in “Calibration Frequency” on page 18 to determine if a quarterly calibration schedule fits your needs. 65-2333 Hydrogen Cyanide Transmitter Operator’s Manual Maintenance • 13...

Although there is no particular calibration frequency that is correct for all applications, a calibration frequency of every 3 months is adequate for most HCN transmitter applications. Unless experience in a particular application dictates otherwise, RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends a calibration frequency of every 3 months for the HCN transmitter.
It describes the test using a calibration kit that includes a calibration cup, calibration gas, sample tubing, and a fixed flow regulator with an on/off knob. RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends using a 0.5 LPM (liters per minute) fixed flow regulator.
4. When the display reading falls below the alarm setpoints, return the controller to normal operation. 5. Verify that the controller display reading decreases and stabilizes at 0 ppm. 6. Store the components of the calibration kit in a safe and convenient place. 20 • Calibration 65-2333 Hydrogen Cyanide Transmitter Operator’s Manual...
