Product catalog summary
Overview: The RKI Direct Connect series gas sensors are designed for reliable and cost-effective detection of common gas hazards. They are available for various gases including LEL, H2 Specific LEL, LEL IR, Oxygen, H2S, CO, CO2, and other toxic gases.
Specifications: The sensors are explosion-proof with flame arrestors and approved for hazardous areas (Class 1, Div. 1 Groups B, C, D). Non-explosion proof versions are available for certain gases for non-hazardous environments. They can be used indoors or outdoors, with optional stainless steel junction boxes for corrosive environments.
Functionality: The sensors can be mounted directly to controllers or to explosion-proof junction boxes for remote detection. Toxic sensors are electrochemical type, offering high specificity, fast response, and long life, suitable for Class I, Div. 2 hazardous locations.
Performance: The sensors have varying measuring ranges and response times, with life expectancies ranging from 2 to 5 years depending on the sensor type. They operate in a wide temperature range and are compatible with RKI Beacon 110, 200, and 410 controllers.
Accessories: Available accessories include calibration adaptors, flow through adaptors, remote horns & lights, calibration kits, battery backups, splash guards, air aspirator adaptors/panels, and dataloggers.
Warranty: All sensors come with a one-year warranty for materials and workmanship.

Direct Connect Data Sheet-1

DIRECT CONNECT SENSORS — Available gases include ◦ LEL, H2S, CO, & CO2 Explosion Proof LEL Explosion Proof O2 / H2S / CO ◦ Toxic sensors include NH3, AsH3, HCN, PH3, and SO2 — Infrared sensor for combustibles and CO2 — Patented water repellent sensor coating — Explosion proof construction — Optional stainless steel junction box Explosion Proof IR LEL & CO2 The RKI Direct Connect series gas sensors are highly reliable and very cost effective for the detection of common gas hazards. The direct connect series are available for LEL, H2 Specific LEL, LEL IR, Oxygen, H2S, CO, CO2, and for a variety of toxic gases. The sensors for LEL, H2, Oxygen, H2S, CO2, and Carbon Monoxide are explosion-proof with flame arrestors, and approved for use in hazardous areas (Class 1, Div. 1 Groups B, C, D). An optional non-explosion proof version is available for oxygen, H2S, CO, and CO2 for use in non-hazardous atmospheres. The Direct Connect sensors can be used in two different ways. The sensors can be mounted directly to the controllers as a complete stand alone system, or they can be mounted to explosion proof junction boxes for remote detection. The toxic sensors are electrochemical type plug-in sensors, which provide high specificity, fast response, and long life. The plug-in design allows quick replacement in the field with no tools required. Toxic sensors are designed for use in Class I, Div. 2 hazardous locations. Sensors are available for NH3, SO2, PH3, AsH3, and HCN. The Direct Connect sensors can be used either indoors or outdoors. The flame arrestors for the explosion-proof versions utilize a patented coating which make them water repellent. Also, splash guards are available for use in very wet environments. An optional stainless steel junction box is available for corrosive environments. All of the Direct Connect sensors are designed to specifically interface with RKI Beacon 110, 200, and 410 controllers.
