S Detector Component Location

Detector Housing Body, Housing Cap, & Cap Gasket

The detector housing body protects the sensing components within the housing. Use the mounting threads at the top of the housing to screw the H

2

S detector into a 3/4” NPT hub.

Use the removable cap near the bottom of the housing to access the sensor for maintenance or replacement. The cap protects the sensor from damage and includes a flame arrestor which contains any sparks which may occur within the detector housing. A cap gasket seals the interface between the housing and cap. A flame arrestor guard is permanently bonded to the cap.

Two wires extend from the top of the detector housing. Use these wires to connect the H

2

S detector to a controller. The housing includes a four-socket pattern. This socket pattern accepts the sensor’s four pins to secure the sensor within the detector housing. A preamplifier, located between the sockets and two interconnect wires, conditions the sensor’s signal before the signal reaches the controller.

Rubber Boot and Spacer

A rubber boot and spacer are installed between the detector housing cap and the sensor.

They help ensure that the detector remains plugged into the detector housing body.

Sensor

The sensor is secured within the sensor housing by four pins. Through a series of chemical and electrical reactions, the sensor produces an electrical output that is proportional to the detection range of the detector.

Calibration Frequency

Although there is no particular calibration frequency that is correct for all applications, a calibration frequency of every 3 months is adequate for most H

2

S transmitter applications.

Unless experience in a particular application dictates otherwise, RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends a calibration frequency of every 3 months for the H

2

S transmitter.

If an application is not very demanding, for example detection in a clean, temperature controlled environment, and calibration adjustments are minimal at calibration, then a calibration frequency of every 6 months is adequate.

If an application is very demanding, for example if the environment is not well controlled, then more frequent calibration than every 3 months may be necessary.
