Page 7: Ppm Hydrogen Detector
PPM Hydrogen Detector The ppm hydrogen detector is a MOS type (metal oxide semiconductor) detector packaged in a 1/ 2 NPT nipple with a sintered metal flame arrestor on one end allowing ambient air to diffuse into the detector. The flame arrestor also contains any sparks which may occur within the detector. The 1/2 NPT mounting threads at the top of the detector allow you to mount it into the bottom conduit hub of the junction box. -
Page 8: Junction Box
Detector Terminal Strip The detector terminal strip is a three position plug-in style terminal strip located below the controller terminal strip. Use the detector terminal strip to connect the detector to the amplifier. NOTE: The detector is factory-wired to the detector terminal strip. See page 10 for all wiring procedures related to the transmitter. -

Page 17: Calibration Frequency
Although there is no particular calibration frequency that is correct for all ppm hydrogen transmitter applications, a calibration frequency of every 6 to 12 months is adequate for most applications. Unless experience in a particular application dictates otherwise, RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends a calibration frequency of every 6 months. -
