SAFETY WARNING This analyser extracts combustion gases that may be toxic in relatively low concentrations. These gases are exhausted from the side of the instrument. This instrument must only be used in well ventilated locations. It must only be used by trained and competent persons after due consideration of all the potential hazards.
NORMAL START UP SEQUENCE Every Time You Use The Analyser BEFORE SWITCH-ON CHECK THAT: the particle filter is not dirty the water trap and probe line are empty of water all hose connections, etc, are properly made the probe is sampling CLEAN AMBIENT air the water trap is correctly fitted and the instrument upright the flue temperature is connected Switch ON the instrument by pressing...

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 .
Main Displays The main display can be changed to show either 4 or 8 parameters at one time. Two options are available when 4 parameters are selected. • 4 Page Mode displays 4 lines of data in set format, each page is predefined. •...
4.3.2 Line Scroll Mode Line scroll mode allows you to customise the display. Use the keys to change the bottom line of the display. Once the correct line is displayed press to confirm and move the line up. Select the next parameter and repeat until all lines display the desired parameters.
Sampling the Flue Gas Once the automatic calibration procedure has been completed and the specific fuel has been selected (See SELECT menu) the probe can be inserted into the desired sampling point. It is recommended that the sampling point be located at least two flue diameters downstream of any bend and that the probe tip is in the centre of the flue.
Regular Checks During Sampling Care must be taken at all times not to exceed the analysers operating specifications, in particular ensure the following :- • Do not exceed the maximum temperature of the flue probe. • The analyser internal temperature does not exceed normal operating range, typically 0- 40°C.
Electromagnetic Compatibility The European Council Directive 89/336/EEC requires that electronic equipment does not generate electromagnetic disturbances that exceed defined levels and has an adequate level of immunity to enable it to be operated as intended. The specific standards applicable to this product are detailed in the appendices.

Calculation of fuel constants are detailed in the Appendix. Fuel constants will have to be calculated before a user fuel can be entered. To enter the user fuel select ‘User Fuel’ and Press USER FUEL 0.000 : 0.000 : 0.00 : 0.00 to select the correct value.
Selecting YES and will display the following screen. RESET SENSORS O2 % : 20.9 CO & NO = 0 PRESS ENTER MENU TO ESCAPE After pressing the analyser will count down for 5 seconds and then return to the main display. WARNING : The sensors must only be reset if you are sure they have been sampling fresh air for at least 3 minutes.

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.
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. Storing a ‘Live’ Test While performing a test and viewing the data on the MAIN display access the STORE menu as follows :- Press STORE MENU...
To print the data press . In the screen shown above locations 1 to 10 will be printed. During printing the following will be shown. PRINT TESTS 1 to 10 PRINTING TEST 1 NOTE While the display above is shown (i.e. the instrument is printing a test) the keypad is disabled.
MAINTENANCE Emptying and Cleaning the In-line Water Trap The in-line water trap should be checked and emptied on a regular basis. Water vapour will condense and gather in the probe line. This may move suddenly to the trap when the probe is moved.
PROBLEM SOLVING The following is a list of problems that may occur on the instrument through its operating life. If the cause of the fault is not easy to identify then we advise you contact Kane International Service Department or an International Distributor for expert advice. Fault symptom Causes •...

COMBUSTION EFFICIENCY CALCULATION The efficiency calculation is based upon British Standard BS845. This identifies three sources of loss associated with fuel burning: Losses due to flue gasses: Dry Flue gas loss, Moisture and hydrogen Sensible heat of water vapour Unburned gas Losses due to refuse: Combustible in ash Combustible in riddlings...
