1/4” O.D. rigid polypropylene, Teflon, or flexible polyurethane tubing may be used. RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends using either 1/4” O.D. x 1/8” I.D. or 1/4” O.D. x 0.170” I.D. tubing based on your length requirements. See “Specifications” on page 1 for maximum tubing lengths based on tubing size. -

Push 1/4” O.D. rigid polypropylene or rigid Teflon sample tubing into the fitting until it stops. Flexible polyurethane tubing may be used with an appropriate insert. RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends using either 1/4” O.D. x 1/8” I.D. or 1/4” O.D. x 0.170” I.D. tubing based on your length requirements. - Page 14 Figure 5: Wiring the Sample-Draw Detector to a Controller 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.

Preparing for the response test NOTE: This procedure describes the RKI calibration kit that includes a demand flow regulator. Verify that the display reading at the controller is 0 % LEL. If the display reading is not 0 % LEL, set the zero reading as described in “Calibration” on page 18, then continue this procedure. -
Page 17: Troubleshooting
If you cannot set the correct flow rate, check the sample lines for obstructions or kinks. Verify that the sensor wiring and amplifier wiring is correct and secure. “Wiring the Sample- Draw Hydrogen Detector to a Controller” on page 9 describes sensor and amplifier wiring connections. 35-3001A-01H Hydrogen Sample-Draw Detector • 13 GlobalTestSupply www. .com Find Quality Products Online at: sales@GlobalTestSupply.com... -
Page 18: Replacing Components Of The Hydrogen Sample-Draw Detector
Calibrate the sample-draw detector as described in “Calibration” on page 18. If the fail condition continues, replace the sensor as described in “Replacing the Hydrogen Sensor” on page 14.

Page 22: Calibration Frequency
Although there is no particular calibration frequency that is correct for all sample draw detector applications, a calibration frequency of every 3 to 6 months is adequate for most applications. Unless experience in a particular application dictates otherwise, RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends a calibration frequency of every 3 months. -
