WARNINGS SAFETY NOTES Before using this meter, read all safety information carefully . “WARNING” is used to indicate conditions or actions that may pose physical hazards to the user . “CAUTION” is used to indicate conditions or actions that may damage this instrument . WARNING! This analyzer extracts combustion gases that may be toxic in relatively low concentrations .
BEFORE USING THE ANALYZER EVERY TIME Check the water trap is empty and the particle filter is not dirty: To empty water trap, unscrew the red screw plug and re-tighten once it is empty . To change the particle filter, remove protective rubber cover, slide the water trap unit from the analyzer, remove the particle filter from its spigot and replace .
DISPLAY PARAMETERS Here are the legends used and what they mean: BAT: Displays the Battery power available . Readings may be affected if used with low power batteries . CAL: Number of days left before recalibration is due Carbon monoxide (Measured) reading displayed in ppm (parts per million) . If ‘- - - -’ is displayed there is a fault with the CO sensor or the instrument has not set to zero correctly .
USING THE FOUR FUNCTION BUTTONS Switching ON the Rotate the dial to the mode you want to use before switching on . This may eliminate the need for a full countdown in Analyzer some of the modes and save you time . Press button to switch the unit ON .
COMBUSTION TESTS Insert the tip of the flue probe into the center of the flue . The readings will stabilize within 60 seconds assuming the boiler conditions are stable . The rotary switch can be used to display the following information: FLUE 1 Fuel type can be changed via “MENU”...

USING THE C165 AS A THERMOMETER OR PRESSURE METER Rotate the dial to the “PRS/TEMP” position . The display will show: Real time pressure reading . Use the P1 connection for pressure sensor . Use the T1 connection for the flow temperature sensor .
MEASURING FLUE GASES After the countdown is finished and the analyzer is correctly set up, put its flue probe into the appliance’s sampling point . The tip of the probe should be at the center of the flue . Use the flue probe’s depth stop cone to set the position . With balanced flues, make sure the probe is positioned far enough into the flue, so no air can ‘back flush’...
