35-3010RKA-06 Sample-Draw Detector • 3
An aluminum subpanel is mounted to the interior of the housing. The sample-draw
detector’s internal components are mounted to the subpanel.
Flow System
The sample-draw detector’s flow system consists of the INLET fitting, hydrophobic filter,
charcoal filter, pump, flowmeter, bypass valve, status lights, pressure switch, flow block,
and EXHAUST fitting (see Figure 1). Figure 2 illustrates how the gas sample moves
through the flow system.

INLET Fitting
The INLET fitting on the bottom of the housing allows the gas sample to enter the sample-
draw detector. The INLET fitting accepts 1/4 in. rigid tubing. See “Installation” on page 9
for instructions to connect tubing to the INLET fitting.
Hydrophobic Filter
The hydrophobic filter is to the left of the main circuit board. It is held in place by a metal
clip. It prevents water and other liquids from contaminating the flow system. Replace the
filter when it appears dirty, discolored, or clogged. If a liquid other than water is drawn
into the filter, replace the filter as soon as possible.
