Detectors
This section describes the components of the various detectors that are used with each
model of the 65-2483RK.

Figure 1: 61-0190RK-HC IR LEL Detector Component Location
The infrared LEL HC detector is made up of a miniature infrared combustible gas LEL HC
detector housed and encapsulated in a pipe nipple. The pipe nipple has 3/4” NPT threads
on each end and a 1 1/4” hex that allows removal or installation of the detector with a
wrench. A porous flame arrestor that is coated with a hydrophobic film that repels liquids
is on one end of the detector and allows sample gas to enter the detector. The flame
arrestor also contains any sparks which may occur within the detector. Four color coded
leads, red, white, green, and black, extend from the other end of the detector. The leads
allow you to connect the detector to the terminal block.
