KANE425 Overview The KANE425 Combustion Analyser measures O2, CO, differential temperature and differential pressure. It calculates CO2, CO/CO2 ratio, losses, combustion efficiency (Nett, Gross or Condensing) & excess air. The KANE425 Combustion Analyser can measure carbon monoxide levels in ambient air - useful when a CO Alarm is triggered. It can also perform a 15 minute duration Room CO Test. The analyser has a protective rubber sleeve with a magnet for “hands–free” operation and is supplied with a flue probe with integral temperature sensor. The large display shows 4 readings at a time...

1. BATTERIES Battery Type This analyser has been designed for use with disposable alkaline batteries or rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries. No other battery types are recommended. WARNING The battery charger unit must only be used when NiMH batteries are fitted. Replacing Batteries Turn over the analyser, remove its’ protective rubber sleeve and fit 4 “AA” batteries in the battery compartment. Take great care to ensure they are fitted with the correct battery polarity. Replace the battery cover and protective rubber sleeve. Switch the analyser on and check that the...

BEFORE USING THE ANALYSER EVERY TIME: Check the water trap is empty and the particle filter is not dirty: - To empty water trap, unplug its rubber stopper and re-plug once it is empty. To change the particle filter, remove protective rubber sleeve, slide the water trap unit from the analyser, remove the particle filter from its’ spigot and replace. Reconnect the water trap unit and rubber protective sleeve. Connect the flue probe hose to the analyser’s flue gas inlet and connect the flue probe’s temperature plug to the T1 socket – check the plug’s orientation is correct - see Page 6....

SAFETY WARNING This analyser extracts combustion gases that may be toxic in relatively low concentrations. These gases are exhausted from the back of the instrument. This analyser must only be used in well-ventilated locations by trained and competent persons after due consideration of all the potential hazards.

3. USING THE FOUR FUNCTION BUTTONS: Switching ON the Analyser / button to switch the unit ON . This must Press be done in fresh air to ensure that the analyser auto calibrates its’ sensors properly. When switched on, the analyser beeps twice and briefly displays battery %, fuel and pressure units. Its’ bottom line counts down from 60 until the sensors are ready to use – This normally takes 20 - 30 seconds but may take longer as sensors get older. If the analyser will not auto calibrate, its’ sensors need to be replaced or recalibrated by an authorised repair centre. If an inlet temperature...

Backlight & Torchlight Press / to switch the display's backlight and torchlight on and off. NOTE: Use of the backlight/torchlight increases the current drain on the batteries The analyser normally operates with the pump on. Press When the pump is switched off “---PO--" is displayed instead of the O2, CO & Ratio readings. The analyser also displays "PUMP OFF" on the top line approx every 40 seconds. NOTES: 1) The pump will not switch off if the CO reading is above 20ppm . This helps to protect the CO sensor from damage. 2) The pump will automatically switch itself off when the rotary switch...

The top line briefly display the log number. Note: This STORE function is inhibited in normal operation if the pump is switched off. Using / Buttons / / are The function buttons below the symbols used to navigate through the menu when the rotary switch is set to MENU – See USING THE MENU, Section 5

4.1 COMBUSTION TESTS: Insert the tip of the flue probe into the centre of the flue. The readings will stabilise within 60 seconds assuming the boiler conditions are stable. The rotary switch can be used to display the following information: RATIO Display Defaults to Natural Gas on start-up. Can be changed via “Menu”. / Press Bluetooth fitted). to print a full combustion test (also sends to PC if for 2+ seconds to log a full combustion report. → Carbon Monoxide (ppm) → Carbon Dioxide (%) Oxygen (%) left after combustion.
