Pressure or Leak Detection readings and Combustion Display 1 will be the first display. The 714 will auto power off if no keys have been pressed for 10 minutes and the CO level is below 15ppm. The Scroll/Enter Key allows you to scroll through the combustion displays as out- lined in section 5.3.
6 hours Operating Time. If a beeping noise is heard during charging disconnect the charger. This is an indication of something wrong in the charging circuit. Please contact TPI technical assistance at 800-368-5719. Alternatively, the instrument can be used when plugged into the charger.
To ensure accurate and consistent combustion tests, it is important gas and tem- perature samples be taken at the same location. This is easy with the TPI flue probe because the temperature sensor is an integral part of the probe.
COMBUSTION ANALYSIS (Continued) 5.2 Procedure 1. Turn the 714 on as outlined in section 4.1. At any time you can activate the Backlight by holding down the Func/Backlight Key for 2 seconds. The back- light will automatically shut off after 20 seconds to preserve battery life.

Manometer, and Date / Time display. 6.1 Function 1: - Thermometer Press the Func Key repeatedly to access the thermometer function. In this mode the 714 functions like a K-Type thermocouple thermometer. The pump will stop running when in this function. Function Display 1 (Temperature)
The 714 incorporates a differential manometer. This means when a single hose is connected to the (+) port and pressure is applied, the 714 will read positive pressure. If a single hose is connected to the (-) port and pressure is applied, the 714 will read a negative pressure.
6.4 Function 3: - Date/Time Press the Func Key repeatedly to access the date/time screen. From this func- tion Time, Date and Year can be changed. Function Display 3 (Date / Time) Time Date / Month Year 1. Once the Time, Date, and Year screen is displayed, press the Scroll/Enter Key once to allow you to change the data.
7. SAVING DATA During testing, data can be stored for later retrieval by following these steps: 1. Press the Store/Logger Key once 'Addr' will be displayed on the top line along with 'SA ' and a location number from 0 to 9 will be flashing on the screen. Select the required address location that you wish to save the data to by pressing the Up and Down Arrow Keys 2.
8. RECALLING DATA 1. Press the Recall Key once 'Addr' will be displayed on the top line along with 'SA ' and a location number from 0 to 9 will be flashing on the screen. Select the required address location that you wish to save the data to by pressing the Up and Down Arrow Keys 2.
1. Press the Print/COM Key once 'rEAL' and “Stor’ will be displayed and ‘rEAL’ will be flashing. Selecting ‘rEAL’ will cause the 714 to print the test data currently on the display (real time data). Selecting ‘Stor’ will cause the 714 to print data stored in memory.
10. LOGGING DATA 1. Press and hold down the Store/Logger Key for approximately 2 seconds 'S-t' will be displayed with '05 S' flashing indicating that the instrument will log a set of 100 readings every 5 seconds. You can choose from the following logging times '05 S' (100 readings total, 1 reading recorded every 5 seconds) '10 S'...
8 inches from the 714 with a clear line of sight between the sensor windows. 4. Press and hold the Recall key until a beep is heard. The 714 will dis- play ‘Real’, ‘Stor’, and ‘Logg’. Using the Up and Down Arrow Keys, select the desired transfer mode and press the Scroll/Enter Key.
1. Follow steps 1 through 3 on page 21. 2. From your computer type QTR (All Caps) and press ENTER. 3. The 714 will send Real time data and return to normal operation. If using the optional PC software part number A772, please refer to the instructions that comes with the software.
