Page 3: Introduction
This warranty does not cover sensors damaged through misuse of the analyzer. You should keep the battery of your DC710 charged so power is con- stantly being supplied to your sensors. The following guidelines will help prevent damage to your sensors: Always use the mini pump filter when testing flue gases. - Page 4 Always keep the A796 water trap / filter assembly clean and replace the filter as necessary. Replacement filter part number is A762F. This manual will guide you through the functions of the TPI DC710 which will give you many years of reliable service.

Page 9: Combustion Analysis Overview
To ensure accurate and consistent combustion tests, it is important gas and temperature 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. -
Page 10: Combustion Test Procedure
Please refer to Appendix A for general maintenance schedule and function tests. 1. Turn the DC710 on and connect it to the TPI View app as outlined on page 5. Make sure you are in a “clean air” environment (no CO) and tap “Start Pump”. - Page 11 IMPORTANT: Prior to taking a sample, the device under test should be on and at operating temperature. Putting the flue probe in the sample area prior to starting the device may cause saturation of the sensors due to the higher initial concentration of carbon monoxide that may be encountered upon start up.

Page 21: Calibration & Service
**Carbon Monoxide Sensor User / Factory Replaceable A760S **Sensor replacement requires calibration gas. Sensors for the DC710 can be replaced in the field. Please see appendix C for the replacement procedure. Factory calibration is recommended once per year. WARRANTY Your TPI DC710 Flue Gas Analyzer is guaranteed free from defects in materi- als and workmanship for 3 Years from the date of purchase. - Page 22 TPI analyzers use three filters to protect the pump and sensors. The first filter to check is the A763 mini pump protection filter. (see picture below)

Page 25: Appendix B A773 Sulfur Filter Installation & Maintenance. 21
Appendix B: A773 SULFUR FILTER INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE When performing combustion tests on oil fired equipment it is important to use the optional A773 sulfur filter. Failure to do so can result in incorrect and readings. This filter also protects the sensors from the affects of sulfur. The A773 does not have to be removed when working with other types of fuels. - Page 26 Appendix B: A773 SULFUR FILTER INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE 4. Beginning on the “Flue Probe” side of the A773 sulfur filter, pull the yellow thermocouple cord out of the channel of the flue probe tube. Pull out approx- imately the length of the water trap that was removed. 5.

Page 27: Appendix C Field Sensor Replacement
Appendix C: Field Sensor Replacement The DC710 uses field replaceable smart sensors. When you receive a sensor it will come pre-calibrated. Factory calibration once per year is still impor- tant to ensure your analyzer is functioning properly on all functions and ranges. - Page 28 Appendix C: Field Sensor Replacement (continued) 4. Once the back housing is removed you will have full access to the CO and O2 sensors. (see picture below) Carbon Monoxide Oxygen (O2) (CO) sensor sensor Sensor color is Sensor color is red.

Install the new sensor into the holder by orienting the flat corner of the sen- sor with the flat corner of the sensor holder.
- Page 30 Reattach the rubber end caps by pressing them on. Note that one cap has a hole in it and must line up with the exhaust hole on the side of the DC710. 11. Wait 24 hours prior to starting the analyzer. Make sure battery is charged or leave the DC710 on the charger so the sensors are under power.

Page 31: Appendix D Technical Notes
Appendix D: Technical Notes Note 1: Several factors affect combustion efficiency. Dirty or clogged air filters reduce the amount of air available for combustion therefore reducing efficiency. Obstructions in the flue block exhaust gases and alter the air mixture in the combustion chamber which reduces efficiency. -
Page 32: Appendix E Carbon Monoxide Facts
Appendix E: CARBON MONOXIDE FACTS Carbon Monoxide (CO) is invisible, odorless, and tasteless. It is the byproduct of combustion and levels are elevated when there is incomplete combustion.
