KANE450 User Guide The KANE450 Combustion Analyser measures O2, differential temperature, differential pressure and CO. It calculates efficiency (Nett, Gross or Condensing), losses, the CO/CO2 ratio, Poison Index, excess air and CO air free in ppm only.. The analyser can be upgraded with the addition of a Nitric Oxide sensor either on initial purchase (Order Code: KANE450N) or as a retrofit as part of an annual service procedure. In addition the KANE450 Combustion Analyser’s CO sensor checks carbon monoxide levels in ambient air - useful when a CO Alarm is triggered .. and tests the safety...

BEFORE USING THE ANALYSER FOR THE FIRST TIME: 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. Then replace the battery cover and protective rubber sleeve. Always check that the analyser is working correctly after replacing batteries. Set the analyser’s correct time, date, fuel source, etc, after it is switched on and calibrated – See USING THE ROTARY DIAL below. These settings are stored when the analyser is switched off. Using Re-Chargeable...

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 filter, remove protective rubber sleeve, pull out the water trap unit from the analyser, remove the water trap’s particle filter from its’ spigot and replace. Reconnect the water trap and rubber protective sleeve. Connect the flue probe into the bottom of the analyser’s water trap and connect the probe’s temperature plug to the socket next to the water trap – check the plug’s orientation is...

USING THE ANALYSER AND ITS FOUR BUTTONS: Press button to switch the unit ON in fresh air outside the property about to be tested. This lets the analyser auto calibrate its’ sensors properly. On switch on, the analyser beeps four times and displays the fuel previously selected, the date and time and model number. 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 authorized repair center. If the...

to toggle the display's backlight Note: use of the backlight increase the current drain on the batteries Tasklight Comes on in conjunction with the display's backlight... see above. The analyser normally operates with the pump on. Press PUMP quickly to switch the pump off and on. When the pump is switched off, the analyser displays "PUMP OFF" approx every 30 seconds. NOTE: the pump will not switch off if the CO reading is above 20ppm . This helps to protect the CO sensor from damage. NOTE: the pump cannot be switched off with the rotor set to -----------MENU. Zeroing the pressure sensor...

USING THE KANE450 AS A THERMOMETER OR PRESSURE METER With the KANE450 switched off, press and hold down the HOLD button and then press and release the ON/OFF button, then release the HOLD button. The KANE450 will now operate as a fixed display pressure meter/thermometer with the pump off and inhibited. The display will show: pressure flue temp inlet temp differential temp The rotor display indications will now be locked apart from MENU. Readings can be held and logged in the normal way. Up to 8 sets of readings can be logged. Exit this mode by switching the KANE450 off. The standard...

If using larger bore tubing when performing pressure tests: Push ‘orange’ tube over the rim of the spigot to ensure a gas tight seal. This may not produce a gas tight seal.

5. USING THE ROTARY DIAL (starting from Menu): Rotating the dial selects the displayed parameter , unless MENU is selected or the pressure/temperature mode has been selected. ROTARY DIAL POSITIONS MENU switches to MENU function Displays estimated battery life. If battery voltage falls below a pre-set limit, the display flashes "LOW BAT." every 10 seconds. See above to change the batteries or re-charge, if applicable. Displays Time Displays calculated losses when O2 values are less than 18% Measured CO divided by calculated CO2 when O2 values are less than 18%. Displays calculated Carbon...

Displays the difference between flue and inlet / ambient temperatures. If the flue probe’s temperature sensor is broken or open circuit it displays - OC -. Displays Carbon Monoxide values in PPM as CO in ppm normalized ac COn Display value in mg/m3 as COm in mg/m3 normalised as COĦ Displays Nitric Oxide values in PPM as NO in ppm normalized as NOn Display value in mg/m3 as NOm in mg/m3 normalised as NOĦ Display the measured pressure or draft value in user selected units Displays calculated excess air when O2 values are less than 18%. Displays calculated efficiency when O2 values are less...

The exception is STORE DELETE where the ENTER key must be pressed to confirm the change and exit. If you rotate the dial before pressing ENTER the instrument will beep continuously. You must rotate the dial back to MENU and press ENTER before you can continue. In STORE View mode the rotary dial is used to select the saved parameter to be displayed. Use the UP/DOWN keys to change the Test number. To exit the View mode press ENTER.
