ELECTrOMAgNETIC COMpATIBILITy (EMC)
European Council Directive 89/336/EEC requires electronic equipment not to generate electromagnetic distur-
bances exceeding defined levels and have adequate immunity levels for normal operation. Specific standards
applicable to this meter are stated below.
As there are electrical products in use pre-dating this Directive, they may emit excess electromagnetic radia-
tion levels and, occasionally, it may be appropriate to check the meter before use by:
• Use the normal start up sequence in the location where the meter will be used.
• Switch on all localized electrical equipment capable of causing interference.
• Check all readings are as expected. A level of disturbance is acceptable.
• If not acceptable, adjust the meter’s position to minimize interference or switch off, if possible,
the offending equipment during your test.
At the time of writing this manual UEi and Kane International Ltd are not aware of any field based situation
where such interference has occurred and this advice is only given to satisfy the requirements of
the Directive.
This product has been tested for compliance with the following generic standards and is certified to be
compliant.
EN 50081-1 & EN 50082-1
Specification EC/EMC/KI/C100A details the specific test configuration, performance and conditions of use.
gLOSSAry OF TErMS
•
TEMp: Temperature measured by the probe in Fahrenheit (˚F) or Centigrade (˚C). It displays “----” if the
probe is disconnected.
•
CO: Carbon Monoxide reading displayed in ppm (parts per million).
“----” is displayed if there is a fault with the CO sensor or the meter has not set to zero correctly,
switch off meter and try again.
•
CO MAX: Maximum CO level recorded while the meter is switched on.
•
BAT: Displays battery power available in %.
•
When the “BAT” symbol is nearly empty it indicates the batteries are at less than 10% of charge and
should be replaced, readings may be affected if used with low batteries.
•
dATE: Date order can be changed using the menu function. Date is recorded when each combustion
test is printed.
•
TIME: Time is shown in hours and minutes, expressed in “Military” time or the 24hr clock. Time is
recorded when each combustion test is printed.
