Analyzer Connections
NOTE: Take care when inserting the temperature probes as the pins are
polarized. Insert with the smaller pin (+) to the right. A view of the
sockets is shown below.
Automatic Calibration
During this sequence the analyzer pumps fresh air into the Oxygen and
CO (C75 only) sensors to allow them to be set to 20.9% and zero
respectively. See “Setting Inlet Temperature) for information on options.
Changing the Display
The parameters on the first line display are selected from the following
using the pump key (press and hold for display item to change). Certain
items are available on the lower display by selecting with the rotary dial.

Setting Inlet Temperature
During the automatic calibration sequence the burner INLET (Ti)
temperature used in the NET temperature calculation is stored in the
analyzer. There are two methods of storing the INLET temperature.
A. Without the flue probe connected temperature inside the analyzer
is used (ambient temperature).
B. If the flue probe is connected the temperature of the probe tip is
used. This can be useful when the temperature of the air entering
the burner is different than the ambient temperature of the room.
NOTE: On ducted inlets, insert the probe tip into the inlet air during the
zero countdown. The analyzer will then store this temperature as the
ambient (inlet) for use in efficiency calculations. Do not sample flue gas
during the zero countdown.
WARNING!
If the INLET temperature is set incorrectly, then errors will be made in
the calculation of net temperature and efficiently.
Sampling the Flue Gas
Once the automatic calibration procedure has been completed and the
specific fuel has been selected (see menu options) the probe can be
inserted into the desired sampling point.
It is recommended that the sampling point be located at least two flue
diameters downstream of any bend, as close to the source as possible,
and that the probe tip is in the center of the flue. With balanced flues
and other domestic units the probe should be positioned far enough
into the flue so that no air can “back flush” into the probe.
The probe depth stop cone provided with the instrument allows the
probe to be used in holes whose diameters range from 1/4 to 4/5 inch
(6 mm to 21 mm).
The standard probe is rated at 1112˚F (600˚C).
TIP: To conserve battery power, switch off the pump when you are not
taking a measurement. To turn pump ON or OFF press “ “.
View data and rotate the dial to see flue changes as you make
adjustments. Press “HOLD” first to freeze or store the readings
before printing.
