12. Unscrew the calibration cup from the detector.
13. Unscrew the regulator from the zero air calibration cylinder. For convenience, leave
the sample tubing connected to the regulator and the calibration cup.
14. Store the components of the calibration kit in a safe and convenient place.
15. Remove the voltmeter leads from the test points.
16. Secure the junction box cover to the junction box.
Maintenance
This section describes maintenance procedures. It includes preventive maintenance,
troubleshooting, and component replacement procedures.
Preventive Maintenance
This section describes a preventive maintenance schedule to ensure the optimum
performance of the CO transmitter. It includes daily, monthly, and quarterly procedures.
Daily
Verify a display reading of 0 PPM CO at the controller. Investigate significant changes in
the display reading.
Monthly
This procedure describes a test to verify that the CO transmitter responds properly to
carbon monoxide. It describes the test 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.
NOTE: Performing a response test on the CO transmitter may cause alarms. Be sure to
put the controller into its calibration program or disable external alarms before
performing this test.
Preparing for the response test
1. Place the controller into its calibration program or disable external alarms.
2. Verify that the controller display reading for the channel you are testing is 0.
If the display reading is not zero, set the zero reading of the transmitter as described
in the Start Up section of this manual, then continue this procedure.
3. Screw the calibration cup onto the bottom of the CO detector.
4. Screw the regulator into the calibration cylinder.
5. Use the sample tubing to connect the regulator to the calibration cup.
6. Set a voltmeter to measure in the millivolt (mV) range.
WARNING: Do not remove the sensor cap or junction box cover while the circuits are
energized unless the area is determined to be non-hazardous. Keep the
sensor cap and junction box cover tightly closed during operation.
7. Remove the junction box cover, then plug the voltmeter leads into the test points on
the amplifier.
Plug the positive lead into the test point labeled TP+; plug the negative lead into the
