Overview This manual describes the 65-2512RK oxygen detector. This manual also describes how to install, start up, maintain, and calibrate the detector when used with a gas monitoring controller. A parts list at the end of this manual lists replacement parts and accessories for the oxygen detector. The 65-2512RK oxygen detector includes a junction box.
Description This section describes the oxygen detector and the junction box. 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 changes in atmospheric pressure.Through a series of chemical and electronic reactions, the detector produces a millivolt output that is proportional to the detection range.

At the mounting site you select, hang or mount the junction box with the detector facing down (see Figure 1). Wiring the Oxygen Detector to a Controller WARNING: Always verify that the power to the controller is off before you make wiring connections. 1. Turn off the controller. 2. Turn off or unplug incoming power to the controller. 3.
6. Connect the wires to the terminals using the terminal block. CAUTION: If using shielded cable, leave the shield drain wire insulated and disconnected at the detector. 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.
Start Up This section describes procedures to start up the oxygen detector and place the detector into normal operation. Introducing Incoming Power 1. Complete the installation procedures described earlier in this manual. 2. Verify that the power wiring to the controller is correct and secure. Refer to the controller operator’s manual. 3. Turn on or plug in the incoming power, then turn on the controller. 4. Verify that the controller is on and operating properly.
Maintenance This section describes maintenance procedures. It includes preventive maintenance, troubleshooting, and component replacement procedures. Preventive Maintenance This section describes a preventive maintenance schedule to ensure the optimum performance of the oxygen detector. It includes daily, monthly, and quarterly procedures. Daily Verify a display reading of 20.9% oxygen at the controller. Investigate significant changes in the reading.
Troubleshooting The troubleshooting guide describes symptoms, probable causes, and recommended action for problems you may encounter with the oxygen detector. NOTE: This troubleshooting guide describes detector problems only. See the controller operator’s manual for problems you may encounter with the controller. Table 2:Troubleshooting the Oxygen Detector Condition Symptom(s) Probable Causes Recommended Action Fail Condition • Controller indicates a fail condition.
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 2 for wiring to a generic controller. See the controller operator’s manual and the controller’s detector head specification sheet for the 65-2511RK detector for wiring specific to your controller.
1. Screw the calibration cup onto the detector housing. 2. Screw the regulator into the zero air calibration cylinder. 3. Use the sample tubing to connect the regulator to the calibration cup. Setting the Fresh Air Reading NOTE: If you can verify that the oxygen transmitter is in a fresh air environment, you do not need to apply zero air to the detector before adjusting the zero reading. 1. Follow the directions in the controller’s instruction manual for setting the fresh air reading to 20.9% oxygen.
3. Store the components of the calibration kit in a safe and convenient place. Parts List Table 3 lists replacement parts and accessories for the oxygen detector.
