Description

This section describes the components of the NC-6205-01 and 61-1001RKSS detectors. The

61-1001RKSS includes the NC-6205-01 hydrogen detector and a junction box. A four point

terminal strip is provided inside the junction box for detector connections.

Figure 1: 61-1001RKSS Component Location

NC-6205-01 Hydrogen Detector

The hydrogen detector is a catalytic type detector that produces an electrical output that

corresponds to the detection range. It is packaged in a 1/2 inch NPT nipple with a

sintered metal flame arrestor on one end allowing ambient air to diffuse into the detector.

The flame arrestor also contains any sparks which may occur within the detector. The

detector has a built in molecular sieve that only allows hydrogen to diffuse into the

detector. The 1/2 inch NPT mounting threads at the top of the detector allow you to

mount it into the bottom conduit hub of the junction box. The controller conduit hubs are

normally 3/4 in. NPT, so a 3/4 in. x 1/2 in. NPT reducer may be necessary to install the

hydrogen detector. A rainshield screws onto the bottom of the detector (flame arrestor

end). The rainshield helps protect the detector from rain and debris in the monitoring

environment. Four color-coded leads extend from the top of the detector. The leads allow

you to connect the detector to the terminal block.

Junction Box

The stainless steel, corrosion resistant 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. An O-ring seals the interface between

the junction box cover and the junction box base.

The bottom conduit hub includes a 3/4 in. x 1/2 in. NPT reducer that allows you to screw

the detector into the hub. 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

J-Box

junction box. A locking set screw on the junction box cover allows you to secure the

junction box cover and prevent it from being removed.

Installation

This section describes procedures to mount the hydrogen detector in the monitoring

environment and wire the detector to a controller.

Mounting the Hydrogen 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. For hydrogen, which is

lighter than air, mount the detector near the ceiling or where hydrogen is most

likely to accumulate.

Figure 2: Mounting the Hydrogen Detector

2. At the mounting site you select, hang or mount the junction box with the detector

facing down (see Figure 2).

Wiring the Hydrogen 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 power to the controller.

3. Remove the junction box cover.

4. Guide a four-conductor, shielded cable or four wires in conduit through the unused

conduit hub of the junction box. Use appropriate conduit fittings and construction

technique for the environmental rating and hazardous location classification of the

junction box. The junction box is rated NEMA 4X and classified explosion proof for

Class I, Groups B, C, and D.

5. Connect the detector leads to the terminal block in the junction box.

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 hydrogen 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.

8. 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

61-1001RKSS detector.

9. If using shielded cable, connect the cable’s drain wire to an available chassis ground at

the controller. RKI controllers typically have a ground stud that is a convenient

grounding location.

Start Up

This section describes procedures to start up the hydrogen 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 power to the controller.

4. Turn on the controller.

5. Verify that the controller is on and operating properly. Refer to the controller

operator’s manual.

CAUTION: Allow the detector to warm up for 5 minutes before you continue with the next

section, “Setting the Zero Reading”.

Setting the Zero Reading

WARNING: Do not remove the junction box cover while the circuits are energized

unless the area is determined to be non-hazardous. Keep the junction box

cover tightly closed during operation.

CAUTION: If you suspect the presence of hydrogen in the monitoring environment, use the zero

air calibration cylinder to introduce “fresh air” to the detector and verify an accurate

zero reading.

1. Verify that the detector is in a fresh air environment (environment known to be free of

hydrogen and of normal oxygen concentration, 20.9%).

2. Verify a reading of 0% LEL at the controller.

If the display reading is 0% LEL, start up is complete. The hydrogen detector is in

normal operation. If the display reading is not 0% LEL, continue with step 3.

3. Perform a zeroing operation at the controller. See the controller operator’s manual for

directions.
