65-2496RK/65-2499RK CO Detector • 9

5.

Unscrew the calibration cup from the CO detector. Make sure that you do not loosen 
the detector housing cap when you unscrew the calibration cup.

6.

When the controller display reading falls below the alarm setpoints, return the 
controller to normal operation.

Quarterly

Calibrate the CO detector as described in “Calibration” on page 13.

Troubleshooting

The troubleshooting guide describes symptoms, probable causes, and recommended 
action for problems you may encounter with the CO detector.

NOTE:

This troubleshooting guide describes detector problems only. See the controller 
operator’s manual for problems you may encounter with the controller.

Fail Condition

Symptoms

The controller indicates a fail condition.

Probable causes

The detector wiring is disconnected or misconnected.

The plug-in sensor is not properly plugged into the four-socket pattern in the detector 
housing body.

The detector’s zero reading is low enough to cause a fail condition.

The detector is malfunctioning.

Recommended action

Verify that the detector wiring is correct and secure.

Confirm that the plug-in sensor is installed properly.

Perform a zero (fresh air) adjustment. A full calibration is recommended.

If the fail condition continues, replace the plug-in sensor as described later in this 
section.

If the fail condition continues, contact RKI Instruments, Inc. for further instruction.

Slow or No Response/Difficult or Unable to Calibrate

Symptoms

The detector responds slowly or does not respond during the monthly response test.

Unable to accurately set the zero or response reading during the calibration 
procedure.

The detector requires frequent calibration.

NOTE:

Under “normal” circumstances, the detector requires calibration once every three 
months. Some applications may require a more frequent calibration schedule.See 
“Calibration Frequency” on page 13 for a discussion of the calibration frequency.
