Description
s,
The 61-1004RK CO2 detector has four versions, the 61-1004RK-02 which has a detection
range of 0 - 5,000 ppm, the 61-1004RK-03 which has a detection range of 0 - 5% volume,
the 61-1004RK-05 which has a detection range of 0 - 50% volume, and the 61-1004RK-10
which has a detection range of 0 - 100% volume. The detector is an infrared type of
detector. This section describes the components of the 61-1004RK and 61-0191RK
detectors. The 61-1004RK includes the 61-0191RK detector and a junction box. A four
point terminal strip is provided inside the junction box for detector connections. The
61-0191RK does not include a junction box. Figure 1 below shows the components of the

61-0191RK Infrared CO2 Detector
The infrared CO2 detector is made up of a miniature infrared CO2 detector housed and
encapsulated in a pipe nipple. The pipe nipple has 3/4 inch NPT threads on each end and
a 1-1/4 inch hex that allow s removal or in stallation of the detector with a wrench. A
porous flame arrestor coated with a hydrophobic film that repels liquids is on one end of
the detector and allows sample gas to enter the detector. Four color coded leads, red,
white, green, and black, extend from the other end of the detector. The leads allow you to
connect the detector to the terminal block in the junction box.
To distinguish the different ranges of CO
shrink tubing is applied to the wiring where it comes out of the nipple. The following
table indicates the color of the shrink tubing and the color of the wire to which it is
applied.

controller, it is wired the same way an LEL detector is wired, to the LEL detector
terminals. See “Wiring the CO2 Detector to a Controller” on page 5 for wiring
connections.
Junction Box
The 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 3/4” NPT conduit hubs
allow you to mount the detector to the junction box and connect the wiring from the
detector to a controller. The terminal block within the junction box facilitates the wiring to
the detector. A cover on the front of the junction box allows access to the interior of the
junction b ox. Th ree spac ers in stall ed on t he ba ck 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.

Installation
This section describes procedures to mount the CO2 detector in the monitoring
environment and wire it to a controller. If you purchased a 61-0191RK detector that is
factory installed in and factory wired to a controller, detector installation is not necessary.
Mounting the CO2 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. Ma ke sur e
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.
• Select a site that minimizes the possibility of someone breathing on the detector.

Wiring the CO2 Detector to a Controller
WARNING: Always verify that the power to the controller is off before you make
wiring connections.
As mentioned in “Description” on page 2, the IR CO
detector wires to an RKI controller
2
the same way as an RKI LEL detector, to the LEL detector terminals. See Figure 3 below
for the wiring connections.
1. Turn off the controlle r.
2. Turn off or unplug power to the controlle r.
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 wires are connected to the appropriat e contr oller det ector termin als
and skip to “S tart Up” on page 7. See F igu re 3, the c ontroller operat or’s manual, and
the controller’s detector head specification sheet for the 61-0191RK detector for the
wiring connection s.
4. Remove the cover from the junction box.
5. Guide a four-conductor, shielded cable or four 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 opposite the detector leads.
CAUTION: If using shielded cable. Leave the shield drain wire insulated and disconnected at the
61-1004RK. 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 disru pt the transmission of the detect or signal to the controller.
9. Connect the wires to the applicable controller terminal strip. See the controller
operator’ s manual and the controller’s detector head specification sheet for the
61-1004RK detector.

Replacing the CO2 Detector
1. Turn off the controlle r.
2. Turn off power to the controller.
3. If the detector is installed directly on a controller, open the controller door.
If the detector is installed remotely from a controller in a junction box, remove the
junction box cove r.
4. If the detector is installed directly on a controller, disconnect the detector leads from
the detector terminal strip in the controller. Note the position of the color-coded leads
as you remove them.
If the detector is installed remotely from a controller in a junction box, disconnect the
detector leads from the terminal block in the junction box. Note the position of the
color-coded leads as you remove them.
5. Unscrew the detector from the controller conduit hub or junction box conduit hub.
6. Guide the detector leads of the replacement detector through the controller conduit
hub or junction box conduit hub, then screw the mounting threads of the detector into
the hub. If necessary for environmental conditions, apply thread sealant or teflon tape
to the hub and/or detector threads to seal them.
7. If the detector is installed directly on a controller, connect the detector leads to the
appropriate detector terminal strip terminals. See Figure 3 on page 6 for wiring to a
generic controller. See the controller operator’s manual and the controller’s detector
head specification sheet for the 61-0191RK detecto r for wiring specific to your
controller.
If the detector is installed remotely from a controller in a junction box, connect the
detector leads to the terminal block the same way the old detector was wired (see
Figure 3 on page 6). See the controller operator’s manual and the controller’s detector
head specification sheet for the 61-1004RK detector to verify the connections to th e
controller are correct.
8. If the detector is installed remotely from a controller in a junction box, reinstall the
junction box cove r.
9. Turn on power to the controller.
10. Turn on the controller.
11. Calibrate the replacement detector as described in“Calibration” on page 11.
Calibration Frequency
Although there is no particular calibration frequency that is correct for all applications, a
calibration frequency of every 6 months is adequate for most infrared CO
applications. Unless experience in a particular application dictates otherwise, RKI
Instruments, Inc. recommends a calibration frequency of every 6 months for the infrared
CO
detector.

If an application is not very demanding, for example detection in a clean, temperature
controlled environment where CO
is not normally present, and calibration adjustments
2
are minimal at calibration, then a calibration frequency of every 9 to 12 months is
adequate.
If an application is very demanding, for example if the environment is not well controlled,

Setting the Response Reading
1. Follow the directions in the controller’s operator’s manual for setting the response
reading (span).
2. When the directions call for exposing the detector to calibration gas, screw the CO
cylinder onto the regulator, turn the on/off knob counterclockwise to open the
regulator, and allo w the gas to flow to the detector for 1 minute.
3. Turn the regulator’s on/off knob clockwise to close the regulator.

Returning to Normal Operation
1. Remove the sample tubing from the regulator.
2. Remove the calibration cup from the detector. Leave the sample tubing connected to
the calibration cup for convenience.
3. Allow the reading at the controller to decrease below the alarm points before
returning the controller to normal operation or enabling external alarms.
NOTE: If you do not allow the gas reading to decrease below the alarm points, then
unwanted alarms may occur.
4. Verify that the controller display reading decreases and stabilizes at a typical
background CO
reading in a fresh air environment because they have low ranges. The 0-50 %volume
and 0-100 %volume detectors will not display a reading in fresh air because their
ranges are too large.
5. Store the components of the calibration kit in a safe and convenient place.
