Oxygen Detector
The sensing components of the detector are encapsulated within a conduit mounting
black anodized alumi n um ho u sin g. Through a series of chemical and elect ronic reactions,
the detector produces a millivolt output that is proportional to the d e tection range. 3/4’’
NPT mounting threads at the top of the detector allow you to mount the detector to the
junction box or a 3/4’’ NPT conduit fitting. Two color-coded leads extend from the top of
the detector. Th e leads allow you to connect the detector to a controller.

Oxygen Detector
Figure 1: Oxygen Transmitter Component Location
Amplifier
The amplifier converts the electrical output from the detector to a 4 to 20 mA signal that
corresponds to the detection range and transmits the signal to a gas monitoring controller .
A foam gasket that orients the amplifier and keeps it from rotating is installed on the
bottom of the amplifier. The amplifier includes the controller terminal strip, detector
terminal strip, zero pot, span pot, and test points (see Figure 1).
Controller Terminal Strip
The controller terminal strip is a two position plug-in style terminal s trip located at the
top edge of the amplifier. Use the controller terminal strip to wire the amplifier to a
controller.
Detector Terminal Strip
The detector terminal strip is a four position plug-in style terminal strip located below the
controller terminal strip. Two of the positions are for use with a toxic gas dete ctor and are
not used in the oxygen transmitter. Use the two detector terminal st rip positions that are
labelled “OXY” to connect the detector to the amplifier.
NOTE: The detector is factory-wired to the detector terminal strip. See “Wiring the
Oxygen Transmitter to a Controller” on page 5 for all wiring procedures related
to the transmitter.
Zero Pot
The zero pot is located in the upper left corner of the amplifier (see Figure 1). Use a small
flat blade screwdriver to turn the zero pot’s adjustment screw and adjust th e amplifier’s
zero (oxygen free) output during the calibration procedure. Turn the adjustment screw
clockwise to increase the zero output and counterclockwise to decrease the zero output.
Span Pot
The span pot is located to the right of the zero pot (see Figure 1). Use a small flat blade
screwdriver to turn the span pot’s adjustment screw and adjust the amplifier’s fresh air
output during the start up and calibration procedure. Turn the adjustment screw
clockwise to increase the fresh air output and counterclock wise to decrease the fresh air
output.
CAUTION: The amplifier includes an additional potentiometer. It is factory-set. Do not adjust it.
Test Points
The test points are on the left side of the amplifier (see Figure 1). The test points produce a
100 mV to 500 mV output that corresponds to the transmitter’s 4 to 20 mA output. Use the
test points and a voltmeter to measure the amplifier’s output during the start-up and
calibration procedures. The black test point in the lower left corner is the negative (-) test
point and the red test point below the zero pot is the positive (+) test point.
Junction Box
Use the junction box to install the transm itter at a mounting site that is remote from the
controller. The junction box protects the amplifier and wiring connections made to the
amplifier. Use the top 3/4’’ conduit hub to connect wiring from the amplifier to the
controller. Use the cover on the front of the junction box to access the interior of the
junction box. The detector and amplifier are factory installed in the junction box. Three
spacers installed on the back of the junction box control the distance of the junction box

8. Install the detector and controller terminals strips into their sockets on the new
amplifier as shown in Figu re 3 on page 6. If controller leads or detector leads were
removed during this procedure, refer to Figure 3 on page 6 for the detector and
amplifier connections.
NOTE: When a transmitter is first powered up with a new amplifier, the initial output
may be either high or below zero depending on the setting of the zero pot. Be
sure to make arrangements so that this does not cause unwanted alarms.
9. Turn on pow er to the controller.
10. Turn on the controller and place it into normal operation.
11. Allow the transmitter to warm-up for 5 minutes.
12. Calibrate the transmitter as described in “Calibratio n” on page 11 of this manual.
Calibration Frequency
Although there is no particular calibration frequency that is correct for all applications, a
calibration frequency of every 3 months is adequate for most oxygen transmi tter
applications. Unless experience in a particular application dictates otherwise, RKI
Instruments, Inc. recommends a calibration frequency of every 3 months for the oxygen
transmitter.
Calibration
If an application is not very demanding, for example detection in a clean, temperature
controlled environment, and calibration adjustments a re minima l at calibration, then a
calibration frequency 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.
This section describes how to calibrate the oxygen transmitter. It includes procedures to
prepare for calibration, set the fresh air reading, set the zero reading, and return to normal
operation. It describes calibration 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 regulat or.
Prepari ng for Ca libration
1. Place the controller into its calibration mode or disable external alarms.
2. Unscrew and remove the junction box cover.
3. Set a voltmeter to measure in the millivolt (mV) range.
4. Plug the voltmeter leads into the test points on the amplifier. Plug the positive lead
into the red + test point; plug the negative lead into the black - test point.
65-2320RK Oxygen Transmitter • 11
5. Use the following formula to determine the correct test points output for the
calibrating sample.
Output (mV) = (calibrating sample/fullscale) X 400 + 100
The concentration of oxygen in the atmosphere is 20.9%, so when setting the fresh air
reading, you will set the test points output to 434 mV (±2 mV).
434(mV) = (20.9/25) X 400 +100
NOTE: Calibrating the oxygen transmitter may cause alarms. Be sure to put the
controller into its calibration program or disable external alarms before
continuing.
6. Screw the calibration cup onto the detector housing.
Setting the Fresh Air Reading
NOTE: If you can verify that the oxygen transmitter is in a fres h air envir onment, you do
not need to apply zero air to the detector before adjusting the fresh air reading.
1. Screw the regulator into the zero air calibration cylinder.
2. Use the sample tubing to connect the regulator to the calibration cup.
3. Turn the regulator knob counterclockwise to open the regulator.
4. Allow the gas to flow for two minutes and verify a reading of 434 mV (±2 mV). If
necessary, use the span pot on the amplifier to adjust the reading to the correct value.
5. Turn the regulator knob clockwise to close the regulator.
6. Unscrew the regulator from the zero air calibration cylinder. Leave the sample tubing
connected to the regulator and the calibration cup.
NOTE: Depending on the size of your zero air cylinder, it is possible that you will have a
