STORED LOGS MEMORY The C161 utilizes a shared memory system much like a computer hard drive. The different Log types are stored sequentially until the shared memory area is full. This means the log types are not restricted to a smaller number of memory locations as the full memory capacity is available as required for Logs of any type.
Once the desired Log type to view has been selected, the first available stored Log will be displayed. Log Number Log time and date (this line will alternate between time and date of Log) C161 Log readings (information is specific to Log type) Navigation Menu options...
Log Navigation Menu Options Print the currently selected Log Navigate to the next available Log of the selected type (Option will only appear if there is more than one Log). Navigate to the previously selected Log of the selected type (Option will only appear if there is more than one Log).
To print, simply press and release the PRINT BUTTON. Printing can be aborted by pressing the PRINT BUTTON again. UEi Infrared Printer Make sure the printer is switched on, ready to accept data and its infrared receiver is in line with the analyzer’s infrared emitter (on top...
The following harmonized standards and technical specifications have been applied: CERTIFICATION The UEi C161 is TUV-tested and certified to EN 50379, Parts 1, 2 & 3 in accordance to 1st German Federal Emission Control Ordinance (BlmSchV). Manufactured to meet AHRI 1260 standard.

POWERING OFF When you power off the C161, there is a 10 second purge. Make sure you do not exceed the analyzer’s operating specifications. In particular: • Do not exceed the flue probes maximum temperature (1112˚F) • Do not exceed the analyzer’s internal temperature range •...
REPLACING THE BATTERIES This meter has been designed for use with both alkaline and rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries. No other types are recommended and will void warranty. The analyzer is supplied with 3 (AA) size NiMH rechargeable batteries. These should be installed into the instrument.
Charges will be applied upon completion of the recertification service Shipping time for most repairs is 1 to 3 days. UEi pays return freight. RETURNING YOUR ANALYZER Before returning your analyzer to UEi Test Instruments, please ensure that you enclose:...
UEi’s electronic combustion analyzers perform the measurements on a continuous basis, and can calculate the efficiency as adjustments are being made. Combine this with a printout and you are able to provide a before and after comparison of the combustion equipment in relatively little time as part of normal servicing.
WARRANTY: The C161 is warranted to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 1 year from the date of purchase. If within the warranty period your instrument should become inoperative from such defects, the unit will be repaired or replaced at UEi’s option.
