Page 8: Safety Warning
The KANE940 has a rechargeable lead acid battery which uses a different charger than other Kane analysers. Ensure the correct charger is used or damage may occur to the instrument. Check that you have all the items you have ordered. -
Page 9: Normal Start Up Sequence
During this sequence the analyser pumps fresh air into the sensors to allow toxic sensors (if fitted) to be set to zero and the Oxygen sensor to be set to 20.9 %. After switch-on the analyser will briefly display header information :- Kane International (44)-1707-375550 And then show the countdown screen :-... - Page 10 Once the time has reached zero an audible beep will be heard and will show the selected fuel on the following display:- NATURAL GAS ∗ ∗ PRESS -MENU- KEY Press This zeros the toxic sensor and sets Oxygen to 20.9%. The next screen is the MAIN DISPLAY of the analyser:- NETT .

Page 23: Printing Information
PRINTING INFORMATION Supplied as accessories for the KANE940 are an infra-red thermal printer or a dot matrix serial printer. Read the manual supplied with each printer prior to operation. Connections to the KANE940 are detailed below : • Infra-red thermal printer - this does not require a cable to transmit the data but uses an infra-red (IR) link similar to a TV remote control. -
Page 24: Storing And Retrieving Data
STORING AND RETRIEVING DATA The KANE940 can store up to 100 combustion tests. Once stored, the data can be viewed on the display or downloaded to a PC or printer.
