Description

This section describes the components of the 65-2515RK. It consists of the oxygen detector

and the junction box

Oxygen Detector

The oxygen detector consists of the detector housing and the plug-in sensor.

Figure 1: Oxygen Detector Component Location

Detector Housing

The detector housing protects the sensing components within the housing. Use the mounting

threads at the top of the housing to screw the oxygen detector into the bottom conduit hub of

the junction box. 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 that may occur within the detector housing. A cap

gasket seals the interface between the housing body and cap. The flame arrestor guard protects

the flame arrestor from impact damage and is permanently bonded to the cap.

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

the oxygen detector to a controller via the terminal block in the junction box. The detector

housing includes two sockets installed on a circuit board. These sockets accept the plug-in

sensor’s two pins to secure the sensor within the detector housing. The circuit board with the

sockets conditions the sensor’s signal before it exits the detector housing via the two color

coded wires.

Plug-In Sensor

The plug-in sensor plugs into a circuit board in the detector housing with two pins and is

retained by the cap. Through a series of chemical and electrical reactions, the sensor produces

an electrical output that is proportional to the detection range of the oxygen detector.

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 route 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

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 2: 65-2515RK Outline & Mounting Dimensions

NOTE:The oxygen detector in the 65-2515RK is normally provided with an Adalet

XIHSCFC3 junction box rated explosion proof for Class I, Groups B, C, and D. This

combination is shown in Figure 2 above. Any junction box with an internal volume

less than or equal to 69 cubic inches and rated explosion proof for Class I, Groups B,

C, and D may be used for this detector.

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

down (see Figure 2).

Wiring the Oxygen Detector to a Controller

WARNING: If the controller’s construction is not explosion-proof, the controller must be

installed in an ordinary location. Do non install a non-explosion-proof

controller in a classified location. Turn off the controller.

3. Turn off or unplug power to the controller.

4. Remove the junction box cover.

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

hub of the junction box.

WARNING: To maintain the explosion proof classification of the oxygen detector/junction

box combination, a conduit seal must be used within 18 inches of the detector

junction box conduit hub used for wiring to the amplifier. Do not install the

detector in an environment with acetic acid. Adhere to your local electrical

code when installing the conduit seal.

6. Connect the wires to the terminals opposite the detector leads using the terminal strip in

the junction box.

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

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

controller.

7. Reinstall the junction box cover to the junction box.

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

at the controller housing.

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 applicable controller terminal strip as shown in Figure 3 below.

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

for wiring information specific to a controller.

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

location.
