Maintenance

This section describes maintenance procedures. It includes preventive maintenance procedures.

This section also includes procedures to troubleshoot the sample-draw detector, replace

components of the sample-draw detector, and adjust the low flow setting.

Preventive Maintenance

This section describes a preventive maintenance schedule to ensure the optimum performance of

the sample-draw detector. It includes daily, monthly, and quarterly procedures.

Daily Visual Checks

1. Verify that the Pilot LED is on.

2. Verify that the flowmeter indicates a flow rate of approximately 1.0 SCFH. If necessary use the

sensor flow control valve to adjust the flow rate to 1.0 SCFH. Turn the valve’s knob

counterclockwise to increase the flow and clockwise to decrease the flow.

3. Verify a display reading of 20.9% at the controller. Investigate significant changes in the

display reading.

Monthly Response Test

This procedure describes a test to verify that the sample-draw detector responds properly to the

target gas.

NOTE: To reduce the response time of this test, use a short incoming sample line. If the sample-

draw detector’s sample line is long, connect a shorter line for this test. Make sure you

reconnect the sample line after you complete this procedure.

NOTE: Performing a response test on the sample-draw detector 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

NOTE: This procedure describes the RKI calibration kit that includes a demand flow regulator.

1. Verify that the display reading at the controller is 20.9%.

If the display reading is not 20.9%, set the fresh air reading as described in “Calibration” on

page 16, then continue this procedure.

Performing the response test

1. Exhale into the sample-draw detector’s inlet fitting.

2. Stop exhaling into the sample line, then verify that the oxygen reading at the controller

decreased.

3. If the reading does not decrease, calibrate the sample draw detector as described in

“Calibration” on page 16.

4. Reconnect the sample tubing to the inlet fitting.

Quarterly Calibration

Calibrate the sample-draw detector as described in “Calibration” on page 16.
