The c8ondensation trap must be checked and the condensed water removed if necessary. IMR or an authorized service facility must re-calibrate the IMR 2800 once a year to ensure accuracy and performance. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Please make sure that you read this section carefully for use of your new combustion gas analyzer.

Connect a hose to this fitting and insert it into the medium and start the regular draft measurement. The draft measurement measures now the differential pressure from the medium to the flue gas, where the gas-sampling probe is inserted. IMR Environmental Equipment, Inc.
Real time data or stored data can be transferred (ASCII signs are getting transferred). The serial connection to a PC must be a 'Null-modem connection'. The IMR 2800 has a 9-pos. female D-Sub connector on the front panel. RS232 female connector 9-pos.
IMR® 2800 2.5 POWER The IMR 2800 works on 230VAC/50Hz or 110VAC/60Hz. A fuse selector next to the AC inlet sets the voltage. The analyzer is able to work without being connected to the AC by using the power of the internal rechargeable battery lead acid battery.

IMR® 2800 4 CALCULATIONS The IMR 2800 calculates most parameters that are important for the measurement of a combustion process: - Heat losses - Excess Air - Carbon dioxide CO2 - mg/m3, mg/m3 (Ref.O2) - NOx (NO+NO2) 4.1 EXCESS AIR In reality it is not possible to achieve a perfect combustion using the theoretically required amount of air.

The radiation loss depends upon the design and insulation of the boiler. In general, it is between 0.5 and 3%. To determine the total loss of the boiler, the radiation loss must be subtracted from the combustion efficiency. IMR Environmental Equipment, Inc.
If the analyzer has a NO and a NO2 sensor, then the NOx value is calculated as following: NOx = NO + NO2 NOx in ppm measured NO value in ppm NO2: measured NO2 value in ppm IMR Environmental Equipment, Inc.
If there is a problem with the analyzer, then it is useful to make a service printout. The service printout contains information about the sensors. IMR recommends printing and then faxing the printout to IMR if any questions or problems occur with the analyzer.
IMR® 2800 6 ERROR MESSAGES The IMR 2800 has several functions to identify any problems with the unit. If an error occurs, then a message is displayed and the error should be cleared before the measurement can be continued. xx-overflow If a gas concentration exceeds the measuring range or if the temperature is higher than the maximum allowable temperature, then the unit will show an overflow for the specific sensor.

Interface no CTS RS 232 interface is not connected or the data transfer was not done properly. Check the connection between the IMR 2800‚ and the PC. If an interval output has been activated, it will be automatically turned off.
2. The IMR warranty shall be granted on the factory new unit and shall commence on the date of the delivery of the original IMR unit to the customer. It shall last for a period of twelve months regardless of the type and the intensity of use and regardless of any change of owner, which may occur during this warranty period.
