Description
This section describes the components of the oxygen transmitter. The transmitter consists
of the oxygen detector, amplifier, and junction box.
%
$
(factory-set)
Oxygen Detector
The detector’s sensing element along with signal conditioning components are
encapsulated within a conduit mounting black anodized aluminum housing. The sensing
element used is a capillary type that is not susceptible to output changes with cha nge s in
atmospheric pressure. Through a series of chemical and electronic reactions, the detector
produces a millivolt output that is proportional to the detection range. 3/4” NPT
mounting threads at the top of the detector allow you to m ount 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 the amplifier.

Figure 1: Oxygen Transmitter Component Location
Amplifier
The amplifier converts the millivolt output from the oxygen detector to a 4 - 20 mA signal
that is proportional to the detection range and transmits the signal to the controller via 2
wires. The amplifier includes the amplifier type selector, detector terminal strip,
interconnect terminal strip, span pot, zero pot, and test points (see Figure 1).
Amplifier Type Selector
The amplifier type selector is near the bottom left corner of the amplifier. It is below the
span pot and to the left of the detector terminal strip.
2 • 65-2513RK Oxygen Transmitt er
Page 7
The amplifier included with the oxygen transmitter is designed for use with RKI’s oxygen
and toxic gas transmitters. The amplifier type selector determines for which transmitter
the amplifier is intended. For oxygen transmitters, a jumper blo c k is installed over the
OXYGEN selector (see Figure 1).
Detector Terminal Strip
The detector terminal strip is the four-point terminal strip near the bottom of the
amplifier. Use the detector terminal strip to connect the oxygen detector to the amplifier.
NOTE: The oxygen detector is factory-wired to the amplifier. See the Installation section
of this manual for all wiring procedures related to the transmitter.
Interconnect Terminal Strip
The interconnect terminal strip is the four-point terminal strip near the to p of the
amplifier. Use the interconnect terminal strip to connect the amplifier to the controller.
Span Pot
The span pot is on the left side of the amplifier. Of the three pots, the span pot is closest to
the bottom of the amplifier. Use the span pot to adjust the transmitter’s response output
during the start-up and calibration procedures.
Zero Pot
The zero pot is directly above the span pot. Use the zero pot to adjust the transmitter’s
oxygen-free output during the calibration procedure.
CAUTION: The amplifier includes an additional potentiometer above the zero potentiometer.
It is factory-set. Do not adju st it.
Test Points
The test points (labeled TP- and TP+) are directly to the left and right of the interconnect
terminal strip. The test points produce a 100 - 500 mV output that is proportional to the
transmitter’s 4 - 20 mA output. Use the test points and a voltmeter to measure the
transmitter’s output during the start-up and calibration procedures.
Junction Box
Use the junction box to install the oxyg en transmitter at a mounting site that is remote
from the controller. The junction box also protects the amplifier and wiring connections
made to the amplifier. Use the two 3/4 in. conduit hubs to mount the detector to the
junction box (bottom hub) and connect wiring from the amplifier to the controller
(top hub).
NOTE: The oxygen detector and amplifier are factory-mounted to the junction box.
Use the junction box’s two mountin g holes to mount the oxygen transmitter to a vertical
surface at the monitoring site. Use the cover on the front of the junction box to access the
interior of the junct ion box.

applications. Unless experience in a particular application dictates otherwise, RKI
Instruments, Inc. recommends a calibration frequency of every 3 months for the oxygen
transmitter.
to the Amplifier
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 the application is very demanding, for example if the environment is not well
controlled, then more frequent calibration than every 3 months may be necessary.
