The RKI Instruments 61-0217RK is a catalytic bead LEL (Lower Explosive Limit) sensor designed to detect combustible gases, measuring from 0 to 100% LEL, often used in RKI's fixed gas detection systems like the GX-94 or Safetmate, featuring water-repellent technology for reliability and interfaces with RKI controllers for hazardous area monitoring. 

Type: Catalytic Bead Combustible Gas Sensor.

Range: 0-100% LEL (Lower Explosive Limit).

Compatibility: Used with RKI fixed systems (e.g., Beacon 110, 200, 410 controllers) and portable devices like GX-94/Safetmate.

Technology: Often incorporates a patented water-repellent coating on the flame arrestor for use in wet conditions, preventing false alarms and increasing durability.

Construction: Explosion-proof, approved for hazardous locations (Class I, Div. 1, Groups B, C, D).

Application: Detects flammable gases like methane, suitable for petrochemical, utility, and industrial settings. 

How it Works (General):
These sensors provide an electrical signal (like 4-20mA) that corresponds to the concentration of flammable gases, indicating potential fire or explosion hazards
