KANE457 OVERVIEW The KANE457 Combustion and Ambient Analyser measures carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), differential temperature and differential pressure. The direct measurement of CO2 is achieved using a Kane designed infra-red sensing system. CO2 is measured at both flue gas concentrations and at ambient concentrations using two separate sensing systems. These sensing systems are automatically compensated for changes in ambient temperature and in atmospheric pressure. Low flow is automatically detected in both combustion and ambient modes. It can be triggered by low battery...

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. Do not mix NiMh cells of different capacities or from different manufacturers. All four cells must be identical. 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...

BEFORE USING THE ANALYSER EVERY TIME: Check the water trap is empty and the particle filter is not dirty: - To empty water trap, unscrew its stopper and re-tighten stopper once the trap 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...

STATUS DISPLAY Select any of the three “Status” positions on the dial to view the following: Replace alkaline batteries if less than 1 bar. → Recharge NiMH batteries if less than 1 bar. → Current time. Can be re-set via the “Menu”. → Current date. Can be re-set via the “Menu”. Shows number of days until next calibration is NOTE: The typical BAT status symbol for fully charged batteries is 3 bars 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...

USING THE FOUR FUNCTION BUTTONS: SWITCHING ON THE ANALYSER: Press / button to switch the unit ON. This must be done in fresh air to ensure that the analyser auto calibrates its’ sensors properly. When switched on, the analyser beeps and briefly displays battery %, fuel and pressure units. Its’ bottom line counts down from 90 until the sensors are ready to use. If the analyser will not auto calibrate, its’ sensors need to be replaced or recalibrated by a Kane authorised repair centre. If an inlet temperature probe (optional) is connected into the T2 socket during its’ countdown, the measured...

When the pump is switched off “-PO-" is displayed instead of the O2, CO & CO2 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 to protect the CO sensor from damage. 2) The pump will automatically switch itself off when the rotary switch is set to Menu, Status, Pressure, Tightness or Differential Temperature. ZEROING THE PRESSURE SENSOR To re-zero the pressure sensor when “Prs” is selected on the dial, press and hold / until the top line display shows CAL ZERO. PRINTING DATA Press and...

MEASURING FLUE GASES After the countdown is finished and the analyser is correctly set up, put its’ flue probe into the appliance’s sampling point. The tip of the probe should be at the centre of the flue. Use the flue probe’s depth stop cone to set the position. For appliances that have internal sampling points you can connect using a suitable plastic or rubber hose. Always remember to refit the covers/seals once sampling has been completed. With balanced flues, make sure the probe is positioned far enough into the flue so no air can ‘back flush’ into the probe. NOTE: Ensure that the flue...
