E.1.2 Charging batteries The rechargeable battery can only be charged at an ambient temperature of ±0...+35°C. If the rechargeable battery has discharged completely, the charging time at room tem- perature is approx. 5-6 hrs. Charging in the measuring instrument The measuring instrument must be switched off. 1 Connect the plug of the mains unit to the mains unit socket on the measuring instru- ment.
E.2 Probes/sensors E.2.1 Connecting probes/sensors Sensor socket: Sensor detection is carried out at the sensor socket during the activation process: Always connect the sensors you need to the measuring instrument before switching it on or switch the device on and then off again after a change of sensor so that the correct sensor data are read into the measuring instrument.
E.2.2 Replacing the probe module 1 Press the key on the top of the probe handle and remove the probe module. 2 Fit a new probe module and engage it in place. E.3 Regular care E.3.1 Condensate trap The fill level of the condensate trap can be read from the markings on the trap. A war- ning message is displayed if the level in the condensate trap reaches 90% ( , red flas- hing light).
E.3.2 Checking/replacing the particle filter Checking the particle filter: Check the particle filter of the modular flue gas probe for contamination at regular intervals: Check visually by looking through the window of the filter chamber. Replace the filter if there are signs of contamination Replacing the particle filter: The filter chamber may contain condensate 1 Open the filter chamber by turning it gently anti- clockwise.

G. Measuring This chapter describes the measuring tasks that can be carried out with the product. Familiarity with the contents of the chapter Operation (see p. 15) is assumed. G.1 Preparing measurements G.1.1 Zeroing phases Measuring the combustion air temperature (AT) If no combustion air temperature probe is connected, the temperature measured by the thermocouple of the flue gas probe or the connected external thermocouple at the probe socket during the zeroing phase is used as the combustion air temperature.
G.1.2 Using the modular flue gas probe Checking the thermocouple The thermocouple of the flue gas probe must not lie against the probe cage. Check before use. Bend the thermocou- ple back if necessary. Aligning the flue gas probe The flue gas must be able to flow freely past the thermo couple.
G.2 Measurements Before starting the measurement, remove and set aside the fitted sealing cap on the probe tip of the flue gas sampling probe. The sealing cap is required for the gas path check (see section E6). G.2.1 Flue gas, Flue gas + m/s, Flue gas + Δp2 The flue gas menus are the central measurement menus in which - in addition to the readings measured with this function - the readings of all measurements carried out are displayed (if this is selected in the...

G.2.8 Δp2 Do not measure for longer than 5 min, as the drift of the pressure sensor means that the readings could be outside the tolerance limits. When measuring the gas flow pressure of gas heaters: Dangerous mixture of gases Danger of explosion! Make sure there are no leaks between the sampling point and the measuring instrument.
G.2.9 Burner control With the help of the readout adapter for automatic furnaces (0554 1206), status data and malfunction reports can be read out from compatible automatic furnaces, see also documentation for readout adapter. The range of data which can be read out is depen- dent on the automatic furnace type.
H. Transferring data H.1 Protocol printer If data are to be transferred to a Testo protocol printer via the infrared or Bluetooth inter- face, the printer that is to be used must be activated, see Printer, p. 28. Data are printed out via the function key Print .
Care and maintenance This chapter describes the steps and action required in order to keep the product func- tioning properly. See also Regular care, p. 18. Cleaning the measuring instrument If the housing of the instrument is dirty, clean it with a damp cloth. Use distilled water, or alternatively mild solvents such as isopropanol to clean the flue gas analyzer.
Do not remove auxiliary circuit boards of the new sensors until immediately before installation. Do not leave the sensors without a auxiliary circuit boards for longer than 15 min. NO/NO sensors: Remove the auxiliary circuit board. 5 Insert a new sensor/bridge in the slot. 6 Attach tube connections to the sensor/bridge.
I.4 Recalibrating sensors See Sensor settings, p. 31. I.5 Cleaning the modular flue gas probe Detach the flue gas probe from the measuring inst- rument before cleaning. 1 Release the probe catch by pressing the key on the probe handle and remove the probe module. Probe shafts with preliminary filter: Unscrew the preliminary filter.
