External Components

This section describes the sample-draw detector’s external components.

Housing

The sample-draw detector’s fiberglass housing is weather- and corrosion-resistant. It is suitable for

installation where general purpose equipment is in use.

The housing door is hinged on the left side and is secured by two latches on the right side. The

flowmeter and status LEDs are visible through a window in the housing door.

Four mounting feet are attached to the back of the housing (one at each corner). Use the mounting

feet to install the housing to a vertical surface.

Sample Fittings

The sample fittings are located on the left side of the bottom of the housing. The inlet fitting is near

the front of the housing and the exhaust fitting is near the back of the housing. The sample fittings

accept 1/4 in. rigid tubing. See the Installation section on page 7 to connect tubing to the sample

fittings.

Particle Filter

A particle filter with a tubing stub on one end is shipped with the instrument but it is not factory

installed. If the particle filter is installed directly to the inlet fitting, the tubing stub must be used. If

the particle filter is installed somewhere else, like at the end of the inlet line, the tubing stub can be

used or removed.

Conduit Hub

One 3/4” conduit hub is located on the right side of the bottom of the housing. It is used for routing

wiring into the housing by using conduit or an appropriate cable bushing.

Internal Components

This section describes the sample-draw detector’s internal components (see Figure 1). Figure 2

illustrates how the gas sample moves through the flow system.

Main Circuit Board

The main circuit board includes the detector/amp terminal strip, interconnect terminal strip, oxygen

sensor terminal strip, pump connector, and flowmeter circuit board connector (see Figure 1).

Detector/Amp Terminal Strip

The detector/amp terminal strip is the upper twelve-point terminal strip in the bottom right corner

of the main circuit board. Use the detector/amp terminal strip to connect the amplifier to the main

circuit board.

NOTE: The amplifier is factory-wired to the main circuit board. See the “Installation” section on

page 7 for all wiring procedures related to the sample-draw detector.

Interconnect Terminal Strip

The interconnect terminal strip is the lower twelve-point terminal strip in the bottom right corner of

the main circuit board. Use the interconnect terminal strip to connect the sample-draw detector to a

controller.

Oxygen Sensor Terminal Strip

The oxygen sensor terminal strip is a two-point terminal strip in the upper right corner of the main

circuit board. This terminal strip is not used in this version of the sample-draw detector.

Pump Connector

The pump connector is the two-point connector below the oxygen terminal strip in the upper right

corner of the main circuit board. Use the pump connector to connect the pump to the main circuit

board.

NOTE: The pump is factory-wired to the main circuit board. See “Installation” on page 7 for all

wiring procedures related to the sample-draw detector.

Flowmeter Circuit Board Connector

The flowmeter circuit board connector is a six-position connector in the upper left corner of the

main circuit board. Use the flowmeter circuit board connector to connect the flowmeter circuit

board to the main circuit board.

NOTE: The flowmeter circuit board is factory wired to the main circuit board. See “Installation”

on page 7 for all wiring procedures related to the sample-draw detector.

Flowmeter Circuit Board

The flowmeter circuit board is mounted to the left side of the main circuit board using standoffs. It

includes the flowmeter, sensor flow control valve, status LEDs, pressure switch, and pump reset

switch.

Flowmeter

The flowmeter is mounted to the right side of the flowmeter circuit board. You can see it through

the window in the door. A ball in the flowmeter column indicates the flow rate to the sensor. The

flowmeter measures the flow in the range 0.2 to 2.0 SCFH (Standard Cubic Feet per Hour). The

optimum flow rate is 1.0 SCFH.

Sensor Flow Control Valve

The sensor flow control valve is mounted to the flowmeter circuit board above the flowmeter. The

sensor flow control valve adjusts the flow rate to the detector. Turn the valve’s knob

35-3001A-01 Combustible Gas Sample-Draw Detector • 5

counterclockwise to increase the flow and clockwise to decrease the flow.

Status LEDs

Two status LEDs are above the flowmeter. They are also visible through the window in the housing

door. The green Pilot LED is on when the sample-draw detector is receiving power from the

controller. The red Fail LED is on when the sample flow rate is below the low flow level.

Pressure Switch

The pressure switch is mounted to the back of the flowmeter circuit board. The pressure switch

monitors the flow rate of the incoming gas sample.

If the flow rate falls below the preset low flow level, the pressure switch causes the Fail LED to

turn on and interrupts the signal from the detector. The interrupted detector signal causes a fail

condition at the controller. The low flow level is factory-set at 0.6 SCFH (±0.1 SCFH). See

“Adjusting the Low Flow Setting” on page 16 to adjust this setting.

Pump Reset Switch

The pump reset switch is located to the left of the status LEDs. When a low flow condition occurs,

the pump will be shut off. To reset the low flow condition and start the pump again, press and hold

the pump reset switch for about 2 seconds, then release.

Hydrophobic Filter

The hydrophobic filter is located toward the bottom left of the main circuit board. The filter

prevents particulates and water in the incoming gas sample from damaging the flow and detection

systems. Replace the filter when it appears dirty, discolored, or clogged.

Pump

The pump is mounted to the right side of the main circuit board. The pump pulls the gas sample

into the sample-draw detector. The pump operates on 24 VAC, which is generated from the 24

VDC supplied by the controller.

Combustible Gas Sensor

The catalytic combustible gas sensor detects combustible gas in the %LEL range. It uses a catalytic

element for detection. The reaction of gas with oxygen on the catalyst causes a change in the

resistance of the element which changes the current flowing through it. The current is proportional

to the detection range of the sample-draw detector.

The combustible gas sensor is installed in the flow block and the flow block is mounted to the

middle of the main circuit board. The sensor housing includes a sintered metal flame arrestor on

one end that allows gas to diffuse into the sensor. On the other end, five pins extend from the sensor

and plug into the socket connector. The connector allows you to replace the sensor without

disconnecting the wiring. Four leads extending from the connector are factory wired to the

amplifier.

6 • 35-3001A-01 Combustible Gas Sample-Draw Detector

Amplifier

The amplifier converts the electrical output from the detector to a 4 to 20 mA signal that

corresponds to the detection range and transmits the signal to a gas monitoring controller. A label

on the amplifier indicates the detector drive current. This drive current is factory set and is dictated

by the combustible gas to which the detector is calibrated. Consult RKI Instruments, Inc. if you

plan to change the calibration gas for the sample-draw detector, for example from a methane

calibration to a hexane calibration. The amplifier is mounted on the top middle edge of the main

circuit board. It consists of the zero pot, span pot, controller terminal strip, detector terminal strip,

and test points.

Figure 3: Amplifier Component Location

Zero Pot

The zero pot is located in the upper right corner of the amplifier (see Figure 3). Use a small flat

blade screwdriver to turn the zero pot’s adjustment screw and adjust the amplifier’s zero (fresh air)

output during the start-up and calibration procedures. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to

increase the fresh air output and counterclockwise to decrease the fresh air output.

Span Pot

The span pot is located below the zero pot (see Figure 3). Use a small flat blade screwdriver to turn

the span pot’s adjustment screw and adjust the amplifier’s gas response output during the

calibration procedure. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to increase the span output and

counterclockwise to decrease the span output.

CAUTION: The amplifier includes additional pots. They are factory-set. Do not adjust them.

Controller and Detector Terminal Strips

The controller terminal strip and detector terminal strip are three- and four-position plug-in style

terminal strips, respectively. The controller terminal strip is located on the right side of the

amplifier and the detector terminal strip is to the left of it. Both terminal strips are factory wired to

the sensor and main circuit board.

Test Points

The test points are on the left side of the amplifier (see Figure 3). The test points produce a 100 mV

to 500 mV output that corresponds to the sample-draw detector’s 4 to 20 mA output. Use the test

points and a voltmeter to measure the amplifier’s output during the start-up and calibration

procedures. The black test point in the upper left corner is the negative (-) test point and the red test

point to the left of the zero and span pots is the positive (+) test point.
