Operation

The CAT85 workflow is streamlined to quickly get into your job, complete your testing, send your report, and get onto your next job.

SensorVault™ Technology
SensorVault™ technology mitigates the typical degradation of electrochemical sensors by placing a gas-tight cover over the gas sensors when the analyzer is powered off which seals the sensors in storage. This sealing and unsealing is done with the power button, so be sure to press far enough down to hear and feel the “click” of the seal.

HydroCycle™ Pump
The HydroCycle™ pump eliminates the need for a traditional water trap. Flue gas is drawn into the CAT85 probe and passes through a cooling chamber where condensate is captured and periodically pumped back through the probe tube into the flue. Point the probe downwards as you remove it to empty any remaining condensate before storing.

Battery Life and Charging

CAT85 can be operated while charging its battery so it’s a good idea to store a charger and cable with the analyzer. Charge with the included USB-C to USB-A cable connected to a 5V/2A DC charger/port/adapter. High-speed chargers are not supported. To maximize battery life, you can disable the Job Link® system, lower display brightness, disable button sounds, and stop the pump when it’s not needed. Battery life may be reduced when testing equipment hot enough to trigger the enhanced cooling mode of the HydroCycle™ pump.

It’s possible CAT85 may power on automatically when plugged in to charge. This occurs if the battery had depleted and powered off without pressing the power button, leaving the sensors unsealed. Fully press the power button down to seal the sensors, power off, and continue charging.

Powering ON

Read “Safety Information” section.

  1. ush the probe cable connector into the bottom of CAT85.
  2. Move probe to fresh ambient air for accurate sensor zeroing.
    • This step should be executed outside of the test room and away from any vehicle exhaust where traces of CO could be lingering.
    • Do not rely on the analyzer alone to check for unsafe CO levels.
  3. Fully press the power button down until you feel and hear the “click” of the SensorVault™ technology UNSEAL the sensors.
    • Press deeper if it displays “SEALED”.
  4. Wait for start countdown to complete.
  5. Start testing. See “Job Menu” section.
    • Electrochemical gas sensors require extra time to stabilize if sealed for an extended period of time or sealed shortly after being over-exposed to target gases. In these cases, you may see an unusually high CO or oxygen reading. To prepare the sensors for testing, start a COMBUSTION test in fresh air until the CO reading returns to 0 and oxygen reading is stable (typically less than half an hour), then ZERO PROBE to 20.9% O2.

Allow ON/OFF countdowns to complete. Interrupting requires pressing the power button a third time to UNSEAL/SEAL the sensors and restart the countdown.

Powering OFF
Read “Safety Information” section.

  1. Complete your testing and reporting.
  2. Move probe to fresh ambient air to clear CAT85 of hot flue gas.
  3. Fully press the power button down until you feel and hear the “click” of the SensorVault™ technology seal the sensors.
    • The unit powers off when SEALED and purging is complete.
    • Press deeper if it displays “UNSEALED.”
  4. Store safely. See “Storage” section below.

Storage
Read the “Safety Information” section.

  • Dispose of any condensate in the probe before storage.
  • Ensure the probe has cooled to ambient temperature before inserting into its protective sleeve of the carrying case.
  • Insert the CAT85 body upside down into the padded pocket so the display is fully covered and the cable is free to move.
  • Do not stack objects on top of the case.
  • The warmup is extended if freezing temperatures are detected, but it’s best to store at room temperature.
  • Store in a dry environment.
  • If you notice condensation forming in the filter cap, unscrew it allow it to dry in storage. Be sure not to lose the o-ring.

Common Sampling Points
The many types of combustion equipment vary in their design and therefore their ideal sampling points. However, there are commonalities that make for useful guidelines when analyzing performance. Heed equipment manufacturer instructions above anything mentioned in this manual.

  • Before inserting the probe in the flue, it’s good practice to test for excessive soot which may lead to carbon buildup within the analyzer or overexpose sensors.
  • Use the probe cone lock to hold the probe tightly in place at the sampling point. The probe is designed to function in any orientation.
  • The center of the flue is often a good place to locate the sensing point of the probe, but locating at the highest point of CO is best.
  • After testing, consider using silicone or metal plugs to cover drilled holes. These are especially useful for double-walled flues.

Job Menu

The JOB MENU is the central hub of CAT85. In addition to being the access point to SETTINGS and the JOB ARCHIVE, you can think of the JOB MENU as the form you complete for each job. Select a test, save the result, and go onto the next. Saved tests are highlighted, and you can always select a saved test to view, delete, or save over previous results.

Open the REPORT to send it to the Fieldpiece Wireless Thermal Printer (model CATPR). Alternatively, you can view live combustion and saved tests directly in the Job Link® mobile app. When the job’s done, select SAVE AND EXIT to store the job and automatically start a new one. Up to 1000 jobs can be stored and are sequentially numbered for easy tracking.

Fieldpiece-CAT85-HC-Combustion-Analyzer-FIG- \(3\)

Combustion
By default, the COMBUSTION test starts automatically after startup is complete. This test analyzes flue gas from various heating equipment. Use this test to setup, test, and document equipment performance. You can view up to 8 parameters simultaneously which can be selected and positioned in SETTINGS. All 10 combustion parameters are saved and available for reporting.

CO Sensor Overexposure
Do not power off if you see this warning. It appears if the CO sensor detects a potentially damaging level of CO. Remove the probe from the flue so fresh ambient air can pump through the device. Read “Safety Information” section.

  1. Ensure startup is complete. See “Powering On” section.

  2. Mount the CAT85 onto a secure, cool, magnetic surface near the sampling point.

  3. Twist probe cone lock into the flue port at the sampling point and secure the probe. See “Common Sampling Points” section.

  4. Select COMBUSTION from the JOB MENU.

  5. Select the fuel and equipment type.

  6. View live measurements.
    For best results, test for at least 5 minutes where you find the highest level of CO – typically near the center of the flue.

  7. SAVE ALL measurements displayed.

  8. Remove the probe and cone from the flue when finished.

    • Be careful not to let the metal touch anything until it cools.
    • If you notice condensation forming in the filter cap, unscrew it and allow it to dry in storage. Be sure not to lose the o-ring.

ZERO PROBE
ZERO PROBE sets the pressure sensor to 0 and resets the oxygen zero point. Always remove the probe from the flue before using ZERO PROBE. For the very best O2 measurements, start the pump and keep the probe in ambient air for 2 minutes before using ZERO PROBE. You should see a reading of approximately 20.9% O2 in ambient air.

Reference Ranges
If assigned to one of the top 4 measurement slots, the position of Stack Temperature, O2, CO, and CO Air Free within its generally accepted range is shown for supported equipment. Supported equipment is indicated by an icon during selection. A GREEN arrow suggests an acceptable level. The arrow and reading are YELLOW if outside the range. These ranges are for reference only.

Trending
Use trending to check how combustion parameters change over time. See “Settings” section for TRENDING SETUP.

Gas Sensor Insights

  • If O2 is reading normally, but CO is reading extremely low, the equipment may be burning very clean. Check the manufacturer’s specification or test on known equipment to verify.
  • If CO is reading normally, but O2 reads 0%, the O2 sensor may be clogged and needs to be replaced.
  • If O2 is reading normally, but CO is reading higher than expected, the CO sensor may have been exposed to high CO concentration and needs to recover. See “Powering On” section.
  • If O2 is not reading 20.9% in clean, ambient air, the sensor may have been sealed for a very long time. See “Powering On” section.

Ambient CO
CO is a very dangerous gas and it’s critical that living spaces are clear of carbon monoxide.

Read the “Safety Information” section.

  1. Ensure startup is complete. See “Powering On” section.
  2. Select AMBIENT CO from the JOB MENU.
  3. View CO measurement while walking through the living space.
  4. SAVE the measurement displayed. “DELETE” temporarily deletes a single value so you can retest. “DELETE TEST” deletes the test.

Ambient CO Warning
Vacate the area immediatly if you see the Ambient CO warning. It appears if the CO sensor detects a harmful level of CO. The CO warning level can be adjusted from the warning screen.

Drafts
CAT85 saves live draft pressure with the COMBUSTION test, but a saved FLUE DRAFT measurement overrides this value. Draft pressure measurement is important for safety and performance. The probe pressure sensor is used for all three drafts.

Read the “Safety Information” section.

  1. Ensure startup is complete. See “Powering On” section.
  2. Select DRAFTS from the JOB MENU.
