Description
This section describes the components of the H2S detector. The detector consists of the
detector housing body, housing cap, cap gasket, rubber boot, spacer, and the H2S sensor.
Figure 1: H2S Detector Component Location
Detector Housing Body, Housing Cap, & Cap Gasket
The detector housing body protects the sensing components within the housing. Use the
mounting threads at the top of the housing to screw the H2S detector into a 3/4 NPT hub. Use
the removable cap near the bottom of the housing to access the sensor for maintenance or
replacement. The cap protects the sensor from damage and includes a flame arrestor which
contains any sparks which may occur within the detector housing. A cap gasket seals the
interface between the housing and cap. A flame arrestor guard is permanently bonded to the
cap.
Two wires extend from the top of the detector housing. Use these wires to connect the H2S
detector to a controller. The housing includes a four-socket pattern. This socket pattern
accepts the sensor’s four pins to secure the sensor within the detector housing. A pre-
amplifier, located between the sockets and two interconnect wires, conditions the sensor’s
signal before the signal reaches the controller.
Rubber Boot and Spacer
A rubber boot and spacer are installed between the detector housing cap and the sensor. They
help ensure that the detector remains plugged into the detector housing body.

Sensor
The sensor is secured within the sensor housing by four pins. Through a series of chemical
and electrical reactions, the sensor produces an electrical output that is proportional to the
detection range of the detector.
Installation
NOTE: Normally, the H2S detector is shipped already installed in one of the bottom conduit
hubs of a controller and factory wired to the controller. If your detector is already
installed in a controller, use this section for reference only.
This section describes procedures to mount the H2S detector in the monitoring environment
and wire the detector to a controller.
Mounting the H2S Detector
1. Whether you will mount the detector directly to a controller or to a junction box, 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. Make sure
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.
NOTE: If your application does not require a specific mounting site, mount the detector at
approximately breathing level.

Figure 2: Outline & Mounting Dimensions
2. At the monitoring site, mount the detector in one of the following two ways:
• Screw the detector’s 3/4 NPT mounting thread into an empty conduit hub on a
controller.
OR
• Screw the detector’s 3/4 NPT mounting thread into an appropriately rated junction
box.
CAUTION: Mount the H2S detector with the detector facing down (see Figure 2).
NOTE: If the mounting site requires the detector installation to be explosion proof, you must
install the detector in a junction box with an internal volume less than or equal to 69
cubic inches and rated explosion proof for Class I, Groups B, C, and D.

Wiring the H2S Detector to a Controller
WARNING: Always verify that the power source is OFF before you make wiring
connections.
1. Turn off the controller.
2. Turn off or unplug power to the controller.
3. If the detector is mounted remotely from a controller using an explosion proof junction
box, proceed to step 4.
If the detector is mounted directly to a controller, connect the detector’s red and black
wires to the appropriate controller detector terminals and skip to the Startup Section.
4. Remove the junction box cover.
WARNING: To maintain the explosion proof classification of the H2S detector/junction box
combination, a conduit seal must be used within 2 inches of the junction box
conduit hub used for wiring to the controller. Adhere to your local electrical
code when installing the conduit seal.
5. Guide a two-conductor, shielded cable or two wires in conduit through an unused conduit
hub of the junction box.
6. Connect the two wires to the detector using an appropriate terminal block.
CAUTION: If using shielded cable, leave the 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 leading from the H2S detector through one of the conduit hubs at
the controller housing.
CAUTION: Do not route power and detector wiring through the same conduit hub. The
power cable may disrupt the transmission of the detector 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 H2S detector.
WARNING: If the controller’s construction is not explosion-proof, the controller must be
installed in an ordinary location. Do non install a non-explosion-proof
controller in a classified location.

Figure 3: Wiring the H2S Detector to a Controller
10. If shielded cable is used, connect the cable’s drain wire to an available chassis (earth)
ground at the controller. RKI controllers typically have a ground stud that can be used to
ground the cable’s drain wire.
11. Reinstall the junction box cover.
