Overview

This manual describes the 65-2425 hydrogen cyanide (HCN) detector. This manual also describes

how to install, start up, maintain, and calibrate the detector when it is used with a gas monitoring

controller. A parts list at the end of this manual lists replacement parts and accessories for the

HCN detector.

Specifications

WARNING: Do not use this product in a manner not specified in this instruction manual.

Table 1 lists specifications for the HCN detector.

NOTE: The following symbol on the detector label is a caution to the user to refer to this

documentation for installation and operation instructions:

6• Description 65-2425 Hydrogen Cyanide Detector Operator’s Manual

WARNING: When using the 65-2425, you must follow the instructions and warnings in this

manual to assure proper and safe operation of the 65-2425 and to minimize the

risk of personal injury. Be sure to maintain and periodically calibrate the 65-

2425 as described in this manual.

Description

This section describes the components of the HCN detector. The detector consists of the detector

housing body, housing cap, cap gasket, rubber boot, spacer, and the HCN sensor.

Figure 1: HCN 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 HCN 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 HCN

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.

Plug-In 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. A VersaporR membrane is installed on the sensor face for added protection

from water and particulate contaminants.

Installation

NOTE: Normally, the HCN 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 HCN detector in the monitoring environment and

wire the detector to a controller.

Mounting the HCN 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.

8• Installation 65-2425 Hydrogen Cyanide Detector Operator’s Manual

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.

• Screw the detector’s 3/4 NPT mounting thread into an appropriately rated junction box.

CAUTION: Mount the HCN 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 HCN 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 HCN 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.

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 HCN 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.

10 • Installation 65-2425 Hydrogen Cyanide Detector Operator’s Manual

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 HCN detector.

Figure 3: Wiring the HCN 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.
