The 65-2438 CO detector consists of the detector housing body, detector housing cap, cap
gasket, the plug-in sensor, and the charcoal filter with rubber boot.
Figure 2: CO Detector Component Loca tion
Detector Housing, Housing Cap, & Cap Gasket
The detector housing body protects the sensing components within the housing. Use the
3/4” NPT mounting threads at the top of the housing to screw the CO detector into the
bottom conduit hubs of the junction box. Use t he 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 which may occur
within the detector housing. A cap gasket seals the interface between the housing and cap.
A flame arrestor guard is permanently bonded to the cap.
Two wires extend from the top of the detector housing body. Use these wires to connect
the CO detector to the junction box terminal strip. The housing includes a four-socket
pattern. This socket pattern accepts the sensor’s four pins to secure the sensor within the
detector housing. A pre-amplifier, located between the sockets and two interconnect
wires, conditions the sensor’s signal before the signal reaches the controller.
Plug-In Sensor
The sensor is secured within the sensor housing by four pins. Through a series of chemical
and electrical reactions, the sensor produces an electrical output that corresponds to the
detection range of the detector.
Charcoal Filter
The disc-shaped charcoal filter is secured to the face of the CO sensor with a rubber boot.
The charcoal filter prevents interference gases (hydrogen sulfide [H
hydrocarbons) from producing false CO readings.

Installation
Junction Box
The stainless steel, corrosion resistant junction box allows you to install the 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 th e detector to the junction box and
connect the wiring from the detector to a controller. An O-ring seals the interface between
the junction box cover and the junction box base.
The terminal block within the junction box facilita tes the wiring process. A cover on the
front of the junction box allows access to the interior of the junction bo x. A lo cking set
screw on the junction box cover allows you to secure the junction box cover and prevent it
from being removed.
This section describes procedures to mount the CO detector in the monitoring
environment and wire the detector to a controller.
Mounting the CO 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 where the target gas is likely to be found first.
NOTE: If your application does not require a specific mounting site, mount the detector
at approximately breathing level.

Calibration Frequency
Although there is no particular calibration frequency that is correct for all applica tions, a
calibration freq uency of every 3 months is adequate for most CO detector applications.
Unless experience in a particular application dictates otherwise, RKI In struments, Inc.
recommends a calibration frequency of every 3 months for the CO detector.
If an application is not very demanding, for example detection in a clean, temperature
controlled environment, and calibration adju stments are minimal at calibration, then a
calibration freque ncy of every 6 months is adequate.
If an application is very demanding, for example if the environment is not well controlled,
then more frequent calibration than every 3 months may be necessary.
