3 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
The controller is not equipped with a power switch; it is operational whenever sufficient power is applied to the
power input terminals.
All electrical connections to the controller are made through screw terminals that can be unplugged for easy
landing of wires. The controller’s enclosure contains conduit knockouts on all sides for flexibility during
installation; refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 for details and dimensions of the enclosures.
3.1 ANALOG OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
The sensor’s readings are reported at the controller’s powered 4-
20mA analog output connections. Current flows out of the ‘+’
terminal and returns to the ‘-‘ terminal.
The oxygen sensor output is provided at the terminal highlighted in
Figure 3. Analog output connection has polarity as labeled on the
controller silkscreen: care must be taken to ensure proper
connection. To wire the analog output connections:
1. Power down the controller, this can be done by unplugging
the controller power terminal (see Figure 6).
2. Unplug the analog output screw terminal labeled O1.
3. Attach the signal wires, paying close attention to the
polarity.
4. Plug the analog output screw terminal back into the
controller.
3.2 RELAY CONNECTIONS
The controller has two, 10 Amp, 120/277 VAC UL-rated, SPDT dry-
contact relay output connections (shown in Figure 4) that can directly
control loads up to 10 Amps through the normally-open terminal.
The relay connections have three-terminal screw connectors that allow
devices to be wired to the controller in either normally-open (NO) or
normally-closed (NC) configuration. These outputs are activated when
ambient air oxygen concentration falls below the controller threshold
settings (refer to Section 4.2 for more information).

Figure 6: Location of Power Connector
In the NO Configuration, the voltage attached to the NO terminal will be present at the COM terminal only when
the relay output is activated.
In the NC Configuration, the voltage attached to the NC terminal will be present at the COM terminal only while
the relay output is deactivated: the voltage attached to the NC terminal is removed when the relay output is
activated.
Example wiring diagrams for relay connection are provided in
Figure 5. To wire the Warning/ventilation and Alarm relay
outputs:
1. Determine if the device being attached to the relay
output should be wired in NO or NC configuration.
2. Unplug the relay output screw terminal.
3. Connect a supply voltage for the device being attached
to the controller’s relay output to either the NO or NC
location of the screw terminal (see Figure 4).
4. Wire the power input of the device being attached to
the controller’s relay output to the COM location of
screw terminal.
5. Plug the relay output screw terminal back into the
correct location on controller board.
3.3 POWER CONNECTION
The K-O2 has a fully isolated, unpolarized power input; either
AC or DC operating power can be connected in either polarity.
Multiple K-O2 units can operate on the same transformer (up to
its load limit) even when they are not connected with the same
positive/negative or hot/common polarity.
Power connection to the controller is made at the two-terminal
screw connector located at the bottom-right side of the board
(highlighted in Figure 6). Power to the controller can be either
AC or DC voltage; DC voltage can be connected in either polarity
(see Section 1.0 for more details). To wire power:
1. Open the controller’s enclosure and unplug the screw
terminal labeled POWER on the controller board.
2. Attach power wires to the screw terminal ensuring the
connection is snug.
3. Plug the screw terminal back into the POWER
receptacle on the controller board: this will cause the
controller to power up and begin operation.
It is recommended that all wired connections are made prior to providing power to the controller.

4 OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION
The K-O2 is a two-stage ventilation and alarm controller that senses the oxygen concentration in the ambient
space around it and operates a Warning/Ventilation contact closure that can be used to operate ventilation fans
when reduced levels of oxygen are detected. If the oxygen concentration approaches unsafe levels, a second
contact closure is operated; typically to trigger an alarm.
The gas sensor is a calibrated module that can be replaced with minimal effort when it reaches end-of-life (EOL),
while leaving the main control mounted and wired (refer to Section 7.1).
The front cover has an LED status indicator that illuminates in different colors to indicate normal (green),
Warning/Ventilation (yellow), and Alarm (red) conditions. Blinking red indicates that the sensor is NOT
operational. While the LED is blinking red, the analog output is delivering 4 mA to indicate the error.
The concentration of oxygen in the ambient air is reported at the controller’s analog current-loop output as
percent by volume. The analog output ranges from 4 to 20mA (refer to Table 4 and Table 5).
4.1 SPECIAL MODES
The K-O2 operates in several modes as shown in Table
9.Table 9: K-O2 Operating Modes
Normal operation is as described above. During standby
mode the sensor is stabilizing and analog output is held at 20
mA.
During span calibration the sensor’s sensitivity is compared
to its sensitivity at initial factory calibration. If its sensitivity
has fallen below manufacturer’s specification the K-O2 goes
into Sensor Expired mode with the analog output held at 4
mA and only the Warning/Ventilation relay activated.

4.2 WARNING /VENTILATION AND ALARM CONDITIONS
Two, 10 Amp, 120/277 VAC rated, dry-contact, SPDT relays activate during
warning/ventilation and alarm conditions: refer to Section 3.2 for wiring
information.
When the concentration of oxygen falls below its configured
warning/ventilation threshold, the WARNING/VENTILATION relay output is
activated. When the concentration falls below the alarm threshold, the
controller’s ALARM relay is also activated. When the oxygen concentration
rises above the alarm threshold, the ALARM relay is deactivated; when it rises
above the ventilation threshold the WARNING/VENTILATION relay is also
deactivated.
4.3 SETTING VENTILATION AND ALARM THRESHOLDS
The four, factory-preset pairs of ventilation and alarm levels are shown in
Table 8. Each setting determines both the controller’s warning/ventilation
and alarm thresholds.
The active threshold values are selected by setting the two DIP switches on
the main board (see Figure 8) as shown in the first column of Table 8 for the
desired setting.
4.4 CONCENTRATION REPORTING
In normal mode, oxygen concentration readings from the sensor are
reported by the controller’s powered 4 – 20mA current loop output. The
output connector location is shown in Figure 6. Output scaling is as shown
in Table 5.

5 SENSOR CALIBRATION
The sensitivity of the galvanic oxygen sensor used on the K-O2 series decreases as the sensor ages. Over the
sensor’s lifetime its accuracy decreases by about 30%. Without intervening calibrations, the sensor will typically
indicate about 14.7 % oxygen concentration in fresh air after 5 (for the K-O2-x5) or 10 (for the K-O2-x10) years.
Required calibration frequency depends on the accuracy requirement of the application. To maintain the accuracy
specified in Table 5 over the full operating range of the K-O2 series, a full calibration interval of 6 months is
recommended. Annual calibration will typically maintain an accuracy within about 0.5% O2 (for K-O2-x5) and
about 0.3% O2 (for K-O2-x10).
For best accuracy, the full two-step calibration process that provides the sensor module with oxygen-free ‘zero’
gas, and then a 21% ‘span’ gas is required. Two calibration buttons (ZERO and SPAN) are provided on the main
board to initiate each calibration operation as shown in Figure 8.
For applications between 18% and 21% oxygen, a span-only calibration is often adequate and requires no
calibration gas. All that’s required is the certainty of fresh air around the sensor. For accuracy at lower oxygen
percentages, a zero calibration before the span calibration is recommended.
To perform a gas-less span calibration: follow the procedure in section 5.4, ignoring all instructions regarding the
application or removal of calibration gas or fittings.
The ‘sensor expired’ test will be performed at the end of a span calibration. If the sensor’s sensitivity has fallen
below manufacturer’s end-of-life specification, the K-O2 goes into Sensor Expired mode with the front cover LED
slowly blinking RED, the analog output at a constant 4 mA and the warning/ventilation relay activated. The
oxygen sensor is no longer operational and must be replaced (See section 6).
The status of the calibration process is indicated by the flash pattern of the front cover LED as shown below.
Blinking Green Successful sampling. Waiting for user to confirm cal
gas removal.
Blinking Red Failed calibration attempt. Waiting for user to
acknowledge with either a re-try or an exit.
Green/Yellow During ambient equilibration period after successful
calibration. New calibration is applied.
Red/Yellow
During ambient equilibration period after failed
sampling. Old calibration is unchanged.

5.1 CALIBRATION GASES
Pure nitrogen zero gas and a precise mixture of 20.9% oxygen, balance nitrogen (see Table 11) are required to fully
calibrate the oxygen sensor for maximum accuracy.
A calibration kit that includes all the required accessories (but not the gas itself) in a convenient carrying case is
available from Kele.com as part number UCK-1. The calibration gases are ordered separately using the part
numbers shown in Table 11.
All K-O2 sensors include an orificed oxygen sensor calibration-cap stored in the lower left corner of the enclosure
as shown in Figure 10. Calibration gas is supplied through the tube-barb flow restrictor fitted to the narrow end of
the cal cap at a pressure of 10 psi.
5.2 CALIBRATION GAS CONNECTION
A schematic of the calibration gas tubing connection between the regulator
and the calibration cap is shown in Figure 9. After connecting the
calibration gas supply hose to the calibration cap, slip the open end of the
cap over the hexagonal white gas port on the oxygen sensor. Verify that
the cap completely covers the gas port; there should be no white showing
at the bottom of the cap.
When ready to start the calibration, adjust the calibration gas regulator so
that the pressure gauge reads 10 psi.

5.3 ZERO CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
For maximum accuracy below 18%, the Zero calibration procedure must be done before the Span calibration.
The progress and status of the calibration process is indicated by the color and flash-state of the front cover status
LED (see Table 10).
Apply the nitrogen (zero) calibration gas to the sensor using the included calibration cap. Ensure that gas is flowing
to the sensor, then press and hold the ’ZERO’ button (see Figure 8) for 3 seconds until the front cover LED starts
blinking YELLOW, indicating that gas sampling is in progress.
1. Ensure that the calibration adapter remains correctly seated and calibration gas continues to flow for the
2 minute sampling period.
2. At the end of the sampling period, the sensor’s status LED blinks GREEN if the sampling was successful or
RED if not.
3A. If successful (blinking GREEN):
The gas sampling completed successfully. Turn off the calibration gas flow, remove the calibration cap
then press and hold the ‘ZERO’ calibration button until the LED blinks GREEN/YELLOW indicating that the
calibration gas has been removed, the calibration has been applied and the unit is in standby for two
minutes while the sensor re-equilibrates to the ambient atmosphere before normal operation resumes.
The calibration is complete when the status LED returns to steady GREEN.
OR
3B. If NOT successful (blinking RED):
The most likely cause of zero calibration sampling failure is insufficient gas flow or leaks around the
calibration adapter failing to completely immerse the sensor in nitrogen. Verify that calibration gas is still
flowing at the required rate (pressure gauge reads 10 psi) and the calibration adapter is properly
positioned.
The calibration sampling can be re-started while the LED is blinking RED by again pressing and holding
the ‘ZERO’ button until the LED blinks YELLOW, then return to step 1 above.
To exit the zero-calibration routine preserving the original calibration: turn off the calibration gas flow
and remove the calibration adapter, then press and quickly release the ‘ZERO’ button. The status LED will
blink RED/YELLOW indicating that the calibration gas has been removed, the original calibration has been
kept and the unit is in standby for two minutes while the sensor re-equilibrates to the ambient
atmosphere before normal operation resumes. The original calibration is completely restored when the
status LED returns to steady GREEN.

5.4 SPAN CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
For best accuracy the Zero calibration procedure in section 5.2 should be done before the Span calibration.
Ignore steps in light blue highlight if doing a no-gas span calibration.
The progress and status of the calibration process is indicated by the color and flash-state of the front cover status
LED (see 10).
1. [Start the calibration gas flowing,] press and hold the ’SPAN’ button (see Figure 8) for 3 seconds until the
status LED starts blinking YELLOW, indicating that gas sampling is in progress.
2. [Ensure that the calibration adapter covers the sensor completely for the 2 minute sampling period].
At the end of the sampling period, the sensor’s status LED blinks GREEN if the sampling was successful or
RED if not.
3A. If successful (blinking GREEN):
The sampling completed successfully. [Turn off the calibration gas flow, remove the calibration adapter
then] press and hold the ‘SPAN’ calibration button until the LED blinks GREEN/YELLOW indicating that
[the calibration gas has been removed,] the new calibration has been applied and the unit is in standby
for two minutes while the sensor re-equilibrates to the ambient atmosphere before normal operation
resumes. The calibration is complete when the status LED returns to steady GREEN.
OR
3B. If NOT successful (blinking RED):
The most likely causes of span gas sampling failure are:
 [Insufficient gas flow or leaks around the calibration adapter not completely immersing the
sensor in the calibration gas. Verify that calibration gas cylinder has not run-out and the
calibration adapter is properly positioned.]
 The oxygen concentration at the sensor is NOT between 20.8 and 21.0 percent (by volume).
The calibration sampling can be re-started while the LED is blinking RED by again pressing and holding
the ‘SPAN’ button until the LED blinks YELLOW, then go to step 1 above.
To exit the span calibration preserving the original calibration, press and quickly release the ‘SPAN’
calibration button. The status LED will blink RED/YELLOW indicating that the calibration gas has been
removed, the original calibration will be preserved and the unit is in standby for two minutes while the
sensor re-equilibrates to the ambient atmosphere before normal operation resumes. The calibration is
complete when the status LED returns to steady GREEN.
At the conclusion of a successful Span calibration the sensitivity of the sensor is compared to its
sensitivity during initial factory calibration. If its sensitivity has fallen below manufacturer’s end-of-life
specification, the K-O2 goes into Sensor Expired mode with the front cover LED slowly blinking RED, the
analog output at a constant 4 mA and the warning/ventilation relay activated. The oxygen sensor is no
l
onger operational and must be replaced
(See
section 6
)

8 DISCLAIMERS
8.1 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
In order to maintain the specified accuracy this device over its full operating range, its sensor should be calibrated
at least every 6 months. During calibration the sensitivity of the sensor is compared to its sensitivity during initial
factory calibration. If the sensitivity has fallen below the manufacturer’s specification, the sensor has reached the
end of its operating life and must be replaced. Contact Kele for a calibrated replacement module.
In harsh environments a sensor may fail prematurely. During normal operation the sensor is regularly tested to
detect common failures. If a failure is detected, the front cover status LED will blink slowly RED, the warning relay
will be activated and the concentration-reporting analog output will stay at 4 mA until the sensor is replaced.
8.2 LIFE SAFETY
This unit is not designed, certified, sold or authorized for use in applications
where the failure of this device could be reasonably expected to result in
personal injury or death.
NEITHER Kele NOR ANY OF ITS SUPPLIERS IS RESPONSIBLE IN ANY WAY FOR DAMAGE TO A PRODUCT,
PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PHYSICAL INJURY RESULTING IN WHOLE OR IN PART FROM (1) IMPROPER OR
CARELESS USE, (2) UNAUTHORIZED USE OR MODIFICATIONS, OR (3) OTHER CAUSES BEYOND Kele OR ITS
SUPPLIERS CONTROL.
IN NO EVENT ARE Kele OR ANY OF ITS SUPPLIERS LIABLE TO THE BUYER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR COST OF
PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR FOR ANY OTHER SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
