Product Warranty RKI Instruments, Inc. warrants gas alarm equipment sold by us to be free from defects in materials, workmanship, and performance for a period of one year from date of shipment from RKI Instruments, Inc. Any parts found defective within that period will be repaired or replaced, at our option, free of charge.
WARNING: When using the 65-2322RKSS, you must follow the instructions and warnings in this manual to assure proper and safe operation of the 65-2322RKSS and to minimize the risk of personal injury. Be sure to maintain and periodically calibrate the 65-2322RKSS as described in this manual.
Plug-in Oxygen Sensor The plug-in sensor is secured in the detector assembly by the housing cap. Through a series of chemical and electrical reactions, the sensor produces a millivolt output that corresponds to 65-2322RKSS Oxygen Transmitter • 7 GlobalTestSupply www.
The black test point in the lower left corner is the negative (-) test point and the red test point below the zero pot is the positive (+) test point. 8 • 65-2322RKSS Oxygen Transmitter GlobalTestSupply www.
Select a site where the transmitter is not likely to be bumped or disturbed. Make sure there is sufficient room to perform start-up, maintenance, and calibration procedures. • Select a site that is at normal breathing level. 65-2322RKSS Oxygen Transmitter • 9 GlobalTestSupply www. .com Find Quality Products Online at: sales@GlobalTestSupply.com...

1.10 Figure 3: Mounting the Oxygen Transmitter 2. At the monitoring site you select, hang or mount the junction box with the detector facing down (see Figure 3). 10 • 65-2322RKSS Oxygen Transmitter GlobalTestSupply www. .com Find Quality Products Online at:...
CAUTION: Do not route power and transmitter wiring through the same controller conduit hub. The power cable may disrupt the transmission of the transmitter signal to the controller. 65-2322RKSS Oxygen Transmitter • 11 GlobalTestSupply www. .com Find Quality Products Online at: sales@GlobalTestSupply.com...

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. 12 • 65-2322RKSS Oxygen Transmitter GlobalTestSupply www.
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 oxygen transmitter as described in “Calibration” on page 18 of this manual. See the calibration frequency discussion in “Calibration Frequency” on page 18 to determine if a quarterly calibration schedule fits your needs. 14 • 65-2322RKSS Oxygen Transmitter GlobalTestSupply www.
4. If the calibration/response difficulties frequent calibration continue, replace the plug-in sensor schedule. as described later in this section. 5. If the calibration/response difficulties continue, contact RKI for further instruction. 65-2322RKSS Oxygen Transmitter • 15 GlobalTestSupply www. .com Find Quality Products Online at: sales@GlobalTestSupply.com...
4. Remove the detector terminal strip from its socket. 5. Disconnect the detector leads from the detector terminal strip. Note the position of the color-coded leads as you remove them. 6. Unscrew the detector from the junction box conduit hub. 16 • 65-2322RKSS Oxygen Transmitter GlobalTestSupply www. .com Find Quality Products Online at: sales@GlobalTestSupply.com...

Be sure to make arrangements so that this does not cause unwanted alarms. 9. Turn on power to the controller. 10. Turn on the controller and place it into normal operation. 65-2322RKSS Oxygen Transmitter • 17 GlobalTestSupply www. .com Find Quality Products Online at: sales@GlobalTestSupply.com...
Although there is no particular calibration frequency that is correct for all applications, a calibration frequency of every 3 months is adequate for most oxygen transmitter applications. Unless experience in a particular application dictates otherwise, RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends a calibration frequency of every 3 months for the oxygen transmitter.
5. Unscrew the regulator from the calibration cylinder. 6. Unscrew the calibration cup from the detector housing cap. NOTE: For convenience, leave the regulator and calibration cup connected by the sample tubing. 65-2322RKSS Oxygen Transmitter • 19 GlobalTestSupply www. .com Find Quality Products Online at: sales@GlobalTestSupply.com...
NOTE: If you do not allow the gas reading to increase above the decreasing alarm point, then unwanted alarms may occur. 4. Verify that the controller display reading increases and stabilizes at 20.9% volume. 5. Store the components of the calibration kit in a safe and convenient place. 20 • 65-2322RKSS Oxygen Transmitter GlobalTestSupply www. .com Find Quality Products Online at: sales@GlobalTestSupply.com...
