Introduction
Thank you for purchasing TPI brand products. The TPI DC710 combustion analyser is state of the art and easy to use. Connect it to your smart device and you are ready to perform combustion analysis. The instrument is ruggedly constructed and comes with a 5 Year Warranty*
- Warranty subject to annual service/re-calibration by TPI Europe Ltd or an approved TPI Service Centre. Failure to ensure that annual service/re-certification is carried out will nulify the 5 Year Warranty and may lead to additional servicing costs when carried out.
General Overview
The TPI DC710 combustion analyser uses state of the art electrochemical sensors. This sensor technology provides the longest lasting most accurate and reliable means for performing combustion tests. Your analyser will need to be serviced/re-certified annually. The following guidelines will help prevent damage to your sensors and keep your anlayser working and giving correct values:
- Always use the Mini Pump Protection Filter
- Always periodically check and replace the Mini Pump Protection Filter as needed if it becomes blocked or discoloured – see Appendix A
- Always make sure the in-line filter / water trap is installed properly – see Appendix A
- Always periodically check and replace the in-line filter as needed if this becomes saturated or discoloured- see Appendix A
- Always remove water or condensation from the inside of the in-line filter / water trap assembly prior to performing tests – see Appendix A
- Always use the optional oil filter (p/n A773) when performing tests on oil burning equipment
Failure to monitor and perform the above may result in SLOW and/or INCORRECT READINGS.
This manual will guide you through the functions of the TPI DC710 which will give you many years of reliable service. You should keep the battery of your DC710 charged so power is constantly being supplied to your sensors.

BASIC ANALYSER FUNCTIONS
Analyser Battery
Your combustion analyser is fitted with a Lithium Ion rechargable battery. It is important to keep battery power to the sensors in your analyser even when it is not in use. Your analyser battery status is indicated at the top right corner of the TPI View App. and visible at all times when connected to the app.
Turning The Analyser On & Connecting to the App
Always: Before turning on please ensure that nothing is connected to the Gas Sample Port
Note: It is recommended you perform routine general maintenance on you analyser to ensure proper function. Please refer to Appendix A for general maintenance schedule and function tests.
WARNING: Ensure the ‘K’ type thermocouple probes are inserted into the sockets correctly. The plugs are polarity marked and forcing the plug into the socket the wrong way may result in damage to the instrument.
Turning The Analyser Off
Always: Before turning OFF, return the instrument to a clean air environment and allow the Carbon Monoxide level to return to below 10ppm and the Oxygen level to return to 20.9%
NOTE
- If the app is disconnected before the CO is below 10ppm or the O2 is above 19% and the power key is held down to turn the analyser off, the pump will continue to run until the CO and O2 are within limits.
- The Bluetooth Indicator Light, on the DC710, will Flash Pink whilst the Purge Period is running. This purge period is necessary to remove any Gas that is present before allowing the Pump to Stop and the DC710 turning off leaving CO or depleted Oxygen inside the DC710 which may cause issues the next time the DC710 is turned ON.
- Once the Purge Period has has completed and within limits the DC710 will auto power down.

Appendix A
Appendix A: General Maintenance
All combustion analysers use consumable items such filters and probes. These items are user serviceable and can be taken care of by the operator. The consumable items that will require operator attention are the water trap / filter assembly, flue probe, pump protection filter, and ambient temperature probe.
The recommended maintenance schedule for your analyzer is as follows:
Water Trap Check
Visually check the water trap for:
- Cracks in the bowl.
- Broken ears on the bowl where the lid locks on.
- Broken ears on the lid.
- Worn out o-ring on the lid.
- Loose connection to the flue probe tubing.
Filter Check
Signs of dirty or water saturated filters are a slow pump, when the flue probe is connected, and measurements that take longer than normal. TPI analyzers use three filters to protect the pump and sensors. The first filter to check is the A763 mini pump protection filter. (see picture below)
Look in the inspection window to check the filter. When the filter material becomes dark, pull the black nose cone out of the tubing and replace the ball filter inside. The other two filters are located in the water trap (p/n A796). The main filter is the A796-F particle filter. This filter stops debris and dust from traveling down to the analyzer. The secondary filter is the A796-D whatman lid disc filter. This filter stops flow in the event the water trap fills with condensate. Refer to the picture below.
Visually inspect the A796-F particle filter. If the filter is discoloured on the inside or outside a replacement filter should be installed. If the A796-F is clean but saturated with water a replacement should be installed to ensure proper flow. The saturated filter can be left to dry and reused later.
Pump Operation Check
- Turn the analyser on as outlined on page 5 and connect to the TPI Viewapp. Do not connect anything to the inlet. Turn the pump on by tapping “Start Pump” prior to proceeding to step 2.
- Cover the analyser inlet with your finger. The analyser pump should draw down and begin to slow.
If the analyser pump does not draw down and slow this may be an indication the pump is faulty, or there is an internal leak. The analyser should be returned for factory service.
Flue Probe Integrity Check
NOTE: Perform this check after performing the Pump Operation Check outlined on the previous page.
- Turn the analyser on as outlined on page 5 and connect to the TPI View app. Do not connect anything to the inlet. Turn the pump on by tapping “Start Pump” prior to proceeding to step 2.
- Connect the A763 mini pump protection filter and flue probe assembly to the inlet of the analyser and the yellow thermocouple connector to input T1.
- Look at the displayed temperature for T1 on the app. If the displayedtemperature is approximately the ambient temperature the thermocouple is operating properly and you may proceed to the next step to continue the test. If the displayed temperature is “No Temp Probe” the thermocouple is open and the probe is in need of factory service.
- Cover the end of the flue probe with a small piece of tube and pinch the end close. After a short period of time the analyser pump should draw down and begin to labour. If this happens the flue probe is operating properly and the integrity test is complete. If the analyser pump does not draw down and labour this is an indication of a possible leak somewhere in the flue probe and you may proceed to the next step for further tests.
- Pinch the hose below the handle of the flue probe. If the analyser pump draws down and labours there is a leak in the handle assembly and the probe needs to be factory serviced. If the analyser pump does not draw down and labour proceed to the next step for further tests.
- Pinch the hose between the analyser and the water trap. If the pump does not slow down and labour there may be an internal leak, pump problem, or other issue and the analyser needs to be factory serviced. If the pump does slow down and labour there is a leak in the water trap assembly and the water trap assembly should be checked as outlined.
