---|---|---|---

KANE958 OVERVIEW

Your KANE958 combustion Analyzer measures:

• Carbon Monoxide (CO)
• Oxygen (O2)
• Pressure
• Differential Temperature
• Temperature
• Differential Pressure

Depending on your options it measures or calculates:

• Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
• Nitric Oxide (NO)
• Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)
• CO/CO2 ratio
• Combustion Efficiency
• Losses
• Excess Air
• Sulphar Dioxide (SO2)
• Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2)

Your KANE958 has a protective rubber cover with magnets for “hands-free” operation and is supplied with a flue probe with integral temperature sensor.
Your KANE958 has a low flow detector system to switch off the Analyzer pump if it detects water entering from an over filled water trap.
Your KANE958 has a large 6 line display showing data and test results based on your actions. The display bottom line also highlights Analyzer status at all times.
Your KANE958 prints test results using an optional infrared printer or wirelessly sends them to the KANE wireless APP.
Your KANE958 stores up to 45 logs of any combination of Combustion, AUX, Temperature & Pressure test results.
You can enter 2 lines of 24 characters on your test results printout.

BATTERIES

BATTERY TYPE
Your KANE958 uses rechargeable Nickel Material Hydride (NiMH) batteries
– Using other battery types may void your Analyzer’s warranty.

WARNING
Although you can use Alkaline batteries you must not charge your Analyzer with Alkaline batteries fitted. Do not mix NiMH cells with different capacities or from different manufacturers – All batteries must be identical.

REPLACING BATTERIES
Turn over your Analyzer, remove protective rubber cover, find battery compartment & fit 3 NiMH “AA” rechargeable batteries ensuring correct battery polarity. Replace battery cover & protective rubber cover.
TIME AND DATE
After changing batteries reset your Analyzer time & date.
CHARGING NiMH BATTERIES
Your KANE958 uses a standard Micro USB connector – For best results turn off then connect your charger. Charging indicator will illuminate then turn off when charging is complete.
Your first charge should be for 8 hours – Thereafter NiMH batteries can be topped up at any time, even for short periods
If your batteries discharge and your Analyzer enters a low power shutdown, 1 hour charge provides approx. 2 hours continuous use.
BATTERY DISPOSAL
Always dispose of depleted batteries using approved disposal methods to protect our environment.

GENERAL SAFETY

SAFETY WARNING
Your Analyzer extracts combustion gases that may be toxic in relativity low concentrations. These gases are exhausted from the back of the Analyzer. This Analyzer must only be used in well-ventilated locations by trained and competent persons after due consideration of all the potential hazards.
Portable gas detectors should conduct “bump” tests before relying on units to verify atmospheres are free from hazards. A “bump” test is a way to check an instrument works within acceptable limits by briefly exposing it to known gas mixtures to change the output of all sensors present.
NOTE: This is different from a calibration where your Analyzer is exposed to known gas mixtures but allowed to settle to a steady figure with readings adjusted to the stated gas concentration of the test gas.

Protection Against Electric Shock (In accordance with EN 61010-1:2010):
This Analyzer is designed as Class III equipment and should only be connected to SELV circuits. The battery charger is designated as:

• Class II equipment
• Installation category II
• Pollution degree 2
• Indoor use only
• Altitude to 6,562ft
• Ambient temperature 32˚F to 104˚F
• Maximum relative humidity 80% for temperatures up to 87.8˚F decreasing linearly to 50%RH at 104˚F
• Mains supply fluctuations not to exceed 10% of the nominal voltage

COLD WEATHER PRECAUTIONS

It is important you keep your Analyzer in a warm place overnight.
Electronic devices that become really cold, by being left in a vehicle overnight, suffer when taken into a warm room the next morning. Condensation may form affecting Analyzer performance. Analyzer electrochemical sensors are affected by condensation or water being sucked into the Analyzer, stopping sensors seeing flue gas. When this happens, oxygen or carbon dioxide reading will display as “-” & sensors may be permanently damaged.
If you think your Analyzer is affected by condensation or water ingress, leave the Analyzer running in a warm place with pump ‘ON’ sampling fresh air for a few hours. Connect your mains adapter or battery charger to avoid draining batteries. If you still experience problems please contact UEi Customer Services.

FIRST TIME USE

Charge your Analyzer batteries for 8 hours – an overnight charge should be sufficient for an average 8 hour day.
Take time to read this manual fully and be aware your Analyzer configuration may not support all features explained in this manual.
Before using your Analyzer ensure it is set up for your requirements.
NOTE: Your Analyzer STATUS bar displays current time, date and battery status – Check time & date are correct as they can only be changed if you have not stored logs in Memory to protect the integrity of your stored data.

GENERAL OPERATING PRINCIPLE

Using your KANE958 is simple with the rotary dial and user interface. Most tests can be made with little user activity.
Your Analyzer status bar offers options based on tasks you are performing and displays useful information and messages.
QUICK START
Turn on your Analyzer in fresh outdoor air pressing the button for 2 seconds. Your Analyzer starts a 60 second zero calibration – once completed select your tests by turning the Analyzer rotary dial.

USER INTERFACE
Your Analyzer display shows 5 lines of tests & a status bar. The backlight activates on each button press then turns off after 10 seconds.
Navigate through your options and menu choices via 3 dedicated      & buttons.
Button presses are either short or long.

STATUS
Rotate dial to “Status”:

STATUS BAR
Status bar shows Analyzer status and offers options based on your settings.

MEASURING FLUE GASES

After countdown is finished and your Analyzer is correctly set up, put your flue probe into the appliance sampling point. The probe tip should be in the flue centre – use flue probe depth stop cone to set position.
With balanced flues, make sure probe is positioned far enough into the flue so no air can “back flush” into the probe.

SAFETY WARNING
Ensure your flue probe handle does not get hot!

Do not exceed Analyzer operating specifications – In particular:

• Do not exceed flue probe maximum temperature (600°C)
• Do not exceed Analyzer internal temperature operating range
• Do not put Analyzer on a hot surface
• Do not exceed Analyzer water trap levels
• Do not let Analyzer particle filter become dirty and blocked

Check readings are stable and within expected range.

CO SENSOR PROTECTION PUMP OPERATION

Your Analyzer CO sensor is automatically protected from high levels of CO. When CO is above the maximum range of your Analyzer the main pump stops and CO Purge pump starts.
Your Analyzer displays – – – – until CO levels fall below the maximum measurement range.

AUX SCREEN

EDITING THE AUX SCREEN

PRESSURE & TEMPERATURE TESTING
WARNING
Never take a pressure reading without knowing the maximum pressure present. Your Analyzer pressure transducer is rated at 160 mbar with a maximum over range of 400 mbar.
Rotate dial to Prs/Temp and use the black connectors & manometer hose to connect to P1 for single pressure or P1 & P2 for different pressure.

TEMPERATURE & PRESSURE DISPLAY

VIEWING & PRINTING
Press button to send full Pressure & Temperature reports to your optional KANE-IRP3 printer or wirelessly to a KANE APP.
Press and hold button for 2 seconds to log a pressure and temperature report – See PRINTING to print stored reports.

PRESSURE MEASUREMENT GOOD PRACTICE
WARNING
Before using your KANE958 to measure an appliance gas/air ratio valve, read appliance manufacturer instructions thoroughly. If in doubt, contact appliance manufacturer. After adjusting a gas/air ratio valve CO, CO2 & CO/CO2 ratio readings must be within appliance manufacturer specified limits.

LARGE BORE TUBING ISSUES
If using large bore tubing when performing pressure tests:

Push orange tube over rim of spigot to ensure a gas tight seal.

Failure to do so may not produce a gas tight seal.

PRINTING

Press and release to send test results to your optional KANE IRP-3 printer or wirelessly to KANE APP. You can stop printing by pressing button again.
KANE INFRARED PRINTER
To use your printer, switch on and place the printer infrared receiver in line with the emitter on top of your Analyzer – allow a 15cm gap between Analyzer and printer.
