Note that there is a 5 second delay before the instrument actually turns OFF, thus allowing an operator to turn the instrument back ON by pressing the to prevent the accidental loss of test data.
  • Page 18: Sampling Hole Location

    Operation 4.2 Sampling Hole Location The analyzer requires that a 13 mm (½ in.) diameter sampling hole be made in the furnace stack to accommodate the probe stop on the Probe and Hose Assembly. Locate the sampling hole downstream from the last heat exchanger, and upstream from any source of dilution, such as a draft diverter (Figure 4-1).
  • Page 19: Combustion Test

    4.3 Combustion Test IMPORTANT! Large rapid changes in the temperature of the analyzer can affect its accuracy. This is important to know if the analyzer is stored in a cold place (such as an unheated vehicle in the winter) and then taken into a warm furnace area.
