INSTALLATION  

 

Important- 

before you install the Rl101 h2s head make sure you have read the basic operations 

to ensure proper understanding of the product. Also check battery voltage to ensure Rl101 will function 
properly. 

When installing the Rl101 h2s Head make sure to calibrate the sensor head. Put the Head into “

cal

” 

mode. When calibration gas is applied, the unit will display the reading. Use the Up and Down buttons 
to adjust the reading to match the value of the calibration gas. ( 

# 3 in basic operations) 

 

The Rl101 Head may be mounted 18 to 24 inches above the ground with the sensor housing pointed 

down towards the ground. For best signal strength position the glass window in line of sight of the 
Redline Monitor, also make sure there are no metal/nonmetal obstructions so signal will not be blocked. 

 

 

 

 

 

MAINTENANCE 

Redline Instruments recommends you check battery voltage every 90 days and Calibration of the head 
every 30 days. Recommended battery replacement at 7.5VDC or lower, if battery is at 5.3VDC there will 
not be sufficient power to transmit a signal. If your instrument is in need of repair you may send your 
instrument to any of the redline location for repair. See website for location addresses. 

For 

Troubleshooting assistance call the Redline office at (979)776-7200.
