    KANE255 OVERVIEW The KANE255 Combustion Analyser measures carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO) and Flue temperature. It calculates oxygen (O2), CO/CO2, ratio, losses, combustion efficiency (Nett, Gross or Condensing) and excess air. In addition the KANE255 Combustion Analyser’s CO sensor checks CO levels in ambient air - useful when a CO Alarm is triggered.
