It is possible to save names and addresses of different customers in the analyser. The performed measurements could be assigned to them. It is possible to create up to 250 customers. 6.1. Manage a customer ➢ Turn on the analyser. ➢...
A boiler is compulsorily linked to a customer, at least one customer must be created to create a boiler. See page 22 for the creation of a customer. It is possible to link up to 10 boilers per customer. 7.1. Create a boiler The list of customers saved in the analyser is displayed.
Each saved inspection is linked to a customer. It is possible to see the details of an inspection, to add one or to delete one. Available inspections in the analyser are the following: combustion, ambient temperature, flue gas temperature, internal temperature, Flow/Return temperature, dew-point temperature, draft pressure, differential pressure, flue gas velocity, Max CO, opacity, ambient CO ionisation current, leak detection, gas network tightness and gas flow.
➢ Go to the required group folder and press OK. The analyser displays the inspection list recorded in this group. ➢ Go to the required inspection and press OK. The analyser displays the inspections details. 8.5. Add an inspection to a group The group function has to be activated (see page 18).

12.5. Add the measurement to a group The group function has to be activated (see page 18). Once the measurement is linked to a customer and a boiler, it is possible to add it in a group in the instrument, or create a group: The analyser proposes to add the measurement to a group.
14.1. Perform the measurement ➢ Connect a CO probe (available as option) on C1 connection on the top of the analyser or connect the flue gas probe on the single connector on the bottom of the analyser. ➢ Turn on the analyser. ➢...
15.1. Perform a measurement of ambient temperature ➢ Connect a Pt100 temperature probe (available as option) on C1 connection on the top of the analyser. ➢ Turn on the instrument. Home screen is displayed with measurement menu highlighted. ➢ Press OK. The analyser performs the auto-zero: remaining time and a progress bar are displayed on the screen.
It is possible to enter in the analyser from 1 to 3 opacity indexes performed thanks to opacity pump available as option. The opacity index consists of the measurement of solid waste of combustion in the flue with a pump and a filter of measurement. The filter coloration is compared with a table reference composed by 10 greyed areas numbered from 0 to 9.
The measurement of ionisation current allows to check the presence of the flame. In standard operation, the ionisation probe produces a currant of a few µA or a few dozen of µA. In case of lack of flame, this current is not present anymore (measurement: 0 µA), the safety equipments of the boiler cut off the power supply.
18.1. Perform the measurement with the probe ➢ Connect a CH probe on C1 connection on the bottom of the analyser. ➢ Turn on the analyser. ➢ Go to the “Measurement” menu with the keypad then press OK. The analyser performs the autozero: remaining time and a progress bar are displayed on the screen. However it is possible to reach the gas leak detection menu during the autozero.
The used Pitot tube must be a Pitot tube type L with K thermocouple connection. The Pitot tube must be introduced perpendicularly, in the middle into the duct and parallel to the flow. The head (ending with an ellipsoidal nose) must be maintained parallel and facing the flow.
