Description
This section describes the components of the 65-2427-05-01 H2S detector. The 65-2427-05-
01 consists of the 65-2428-01 H2S detector and junction box.

65-2428-01 H2S Detector
The 65-2428-01 H2S detector consists of the detector housing body, detector housing cap, cap
gasket, rubber boot, spacer, and the plug-in sensor.
Figure 2: H2S Detector Component Location
Detector Housing Body, Housing Cap, & Cap Gasket
The detector housing body protects the sensing components within the housing. Use the 3/4
NPT mounting threads at the top of the housing to screw the H2S detector into the bottom
conduit hubs of the junction box. Use the removable cap near the bottom of the housing to
access the plug-in sensor for maintenance or replacement. The cap protects the plug-in 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 body. Use these wires to connect the
H2S detector to the junction box terminal strip. The housing includes a four-socket pattern.
This socket pattern accepts the plug-in 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 sensor 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 corresponds to the

detection range of the detector. The plug-in sensor used for this detector is resistant to
degradation caused by frequent exposure to low levels of H2S or occasional exposure to high
levels of H2S.
Junction Box
The junction box allows you to install the detector at a mounting site that is remote from a
controller and it protects the detector wiring connections. Two conduit hubs allow you to
mount the detector to the junction box and connect the wiring from the detector to a controller.
Three spacers installed on the back of the junction box control the distance of the junction box
from a mounting surface and ensure that there is enough room to install a calibration cup on
the detector during calibration. The terminal block within the junction box facilitates the
wiring process. A cover on the front of the junction box allows access to the interior of the
junction box.
Installation
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. 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.

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. Remove the junction box cover.
WARNING: To maintain the explosion proof classification of the H2S detector, a conduit
seal must be used within 2 inches of the junction box conduit hub used for
wiring to the controller.
4. Guide a two-conductor, shielded cable or two wires in conduit through an unused conduit
hub of the junction box. Use appropriate conduit fittings and construction technique for
the environmental and hazardous location rating of the junction box. The junction box is
rated NEMA 4X and Class 1, Division 1, Groups B, C, D.
5. Connect the two wires to the detector using the 2 point 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.
6. Secure the junction box cover to the junction box.
7. Route the cable or wires leading from the H2S detector through one of the conduit hubs at
the controller housing. Use appropriate conduit fittings and construction technique for the
environmental rating of the controller. RKI controllers are typically rated NEMA 4X.
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.
