Description

This section describes the oxygen detector and the junction box.

Oxygen Detector

The detector’s sensing element along with signal conditioning components are

encapsulated within a conduit mounting black anodized aluminum housing. The sensing

element used is a capillary type that is not susceptible to output changes with changes in

atmospheric pressure.Through a series of chemical and electronic reactions, the detector

produces a millivolt output that is proportional to the detection range. 3/4” NPT

mounting threads at the top of the detector allow you to mount the detector to the

junction box or a 3/4” NPT conduit fitting. Two color-coded leads extend from the top of

the detector. The leads allow you to connect the detector to a controller.

Junction Box

The junction box allows you to install the oxygen detector at a mounting site that is

remote from a controller, and it protects the detector wiring connections. Two conduit

hubs allow you to mount the oxygen detector to the junction box and connect the wiring

from the detector to a controller. Three spacers installed on the back of the junction box

control the distance of the junction box from a mounting surface and ensure that there is

enough room to install a calibration cup on the detector during calibration.

A terminal block within the junction box facilitates the wiring process. A cover on the

front of the junction box allows access to the interior of the junction box.

Installation

This section describes procedures to mount the oxygen detector in the monitoring

environment and wire the detector to a controller.

Mounting the Oxygen Detector

NOTE: If you are mounting a 65-2511RK, it does not include a junction box and is

usually factory installed in one of a controller’s conduit hubs or may be field

installed using the 3/4” NPT threads on the end with the wires. The 65-2512RK

includes a junction box as shown in Figure 1 below.

1. Select a mounting site that is representative of the monitoring environment. Consider

the following when you select the mounting site.

• Select a site where the detector 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.

Figure 1: Mounting the Oxygen Detector

2. At the mounting site you select, hang or mount the junction box with the detector

facing down (see Figure 1).

Wiring the Oxygen Detector to a Controller

WARNING: Always verify that the power to the controller is off before you make

wiring connections.

1. Turn off the controller.

2. Turn off or unplug incoming power to the controller.

3. If the detector is mounted remotely from a controller using the junction box, proceed

to step 4.

If the detector is mounted directly to a controller, it is normally factory wired. Confirm

that the detector’s white and green wires are connected to the appropriate controller

detector terminals and skip to “Start Up” on page 5. See Figure 2, the controller

operator’s manual, and the controller’s detector head specification sheet for the

65-2511RK detector for the wiring connections.

4. Remove the junction box cover.

5. Guide a two-conductor, shielded cable or two wires in conduit through the top

conduit hub of the junction box. Use appropriate conduit fittings and construction

technique for the environmental rating of the junction box. The junction box is rated

NEMA 4X.

6. Connect the wires to the terminals using the terminal block.

CAUTION: If using shielded cable, leave the shield drain wire insulated and disconnected at the

detector. You will connect the opposite end of the cable’s drain wire at the controller.

7. Secure the junction box cover to the junction box.

8. Route the cable or wires in conduit leading from the detector through one of the

conduit hubs at the controller. Use appropriate conduit fittings and construction

technique for the environmental rating of the controller. RKI controllers are typically

rated NEMA 4X.

CAUTION: Do not route power and detector wiring through the same conduit hub. The power

cable may disrupt the transmission of the detector signal to the controller.

9. Connect the wires to the appropriate controller detector terminal strip. See the

controller operator’s manual and the controller’s detector head specification sheet for

the 65-2512RK detector.

Figure 2: Wiring the Oxygen Detector to a Controller

10. If using shielded cable, connect the cable’s drain wire to an available chassis ground at

the controller. RKI controllers typically have a ground stud that is a convenient

grounding location.

Start Up

This section describes procedures to start up the oxygen detector and place the detector

into normal operation.

Introducing Incoming Power

1. Complete the installation procedures described earlier in this manual.

2. Verify that the power wiring to the controller is correct and secure. Refer to the

controller operator’s manual.

3. Turn on or plug in the incoming power, then turn on the controller.

4. Verify that the controller is on and operating properly. Refer to the controller

operator’s manual.

CAUTION: Allow the detector to warm up for 5 minutes before you continue with the next

section, “Setting the Fresh Air Reading”.

Setting the Fresh Air Reading

NOTE: If you can verify that the detector is in a fresh air environment (environment

known to be of normal oxygen content and free of toxic and combustible gases),

it is not necessary to apply zero air when verifying or setting the fresh air

reading.

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.

1. Screw the calibration cup onto the bottom of the oxygen detector.

2. Screw the regulator into the zero air calibration cylinder.

3. Use the sample tubing to connect the regulator to the calibration cup.

4. Turn the regulator’s on/off knob counterclockwise to open it. Gas will begin to flow.

5. Allow the gas to flow for two minutes.

6. Verify a reading of 20.9% oxygen at the controller.

If the display reading is 20.9% oxygen, the oxygen detector is in normal operation and

start up is complete. Proceed to step 7 to disassemble the calibration kit.

If the display reading is not 20.9% oxygen, set the fresh air reading according to the

controller’s operator’s manual.

7. Turn the regulator’s on/off knob clockwise to close it.

8. Unscrew the regulator from the zero air calibration cylinder. For convenience, leave

the sample tubing connected to the regulator and the calibration cup.

9. Unscrew the regulator from the cylinder and remove the calibration cup from the

detector.

10. Store the components of the calibration kit in a safe and convenient place.
