Kane 456 Manual page 48

h) Some commonly occurring materials, vapour or gases may affect the operation of
the KANE456 in the long or the short term though in normal use Kane
International Ltd is not aware of any specific issues that have affected the
product. The following list is included to satisfy the stated requirements of
EN 50379:
Solvents
Cleaning fluids
Polishes
Paints
Petrochemicals
Corrosive gases
i) The KANE456 is fitted with an electrochemical CO sensor and an infra-red CO2
sensor which have an expected life of more than 5 years. The calibration of these
sensors must be confirmed on an annual basis.
The batteries have an expected operational life of more than 500 re-charge
cycles.
j) The KANE456 is designed to operate at ambient temperatures in the range 0
to +45 o C with relative humidity of 10% to 90% non-condensing. Whilst it is
recommended that the analyser is given the protection of a carry case during
transportation it is not required for normal operation.
k) The KANE456 has an initial start up delay following switch on of between 90 and
30 seconds dependent on ambient temperature. There is no additional delay
after battery replacement.
l) Most sensors used in combustion analysers give a zero output when they fail and
it is widely recommended that analysers are regularly checked (also known as a
bump test) using either a can of test gas or a known source of combustion
products.
The KANE456 must have its calibration checked on an annual basis and be
issued with a traceable Certificate of Calibration.
The sensor within the KANE456 can only be replaced by Kane International Ltd
or one of its trained and approved service partners.
The water trap should be checked on a regular basis whilst the analyser is in use
(every few minutes) as the amount of condensate generated varies with the fuel
type, atmospheric conditions and the appliances operating characteristics.
