  • Page 11: Menu Items

    STORED LOGS MEMORY The UEi utilizes a shared memory system much like a computer hard drive. The different Log types are stored sequentially until the shared memory area is full. This means the Log types are not restricted to a smaller number of memory locations as the full memory capacity is available as required for Logs of any type.
  • Page 12: Viewing Stored Logs

    Viewing Stored Logs Once the view has been selected from the Logs Menu the following screen will be displayed: List of available Logs (Navigation and selection via the buttons). Log View Menu Options View stored Combustion Logs (Option will appear if Logs are available). View stored Auxiliary Logs (Option will appear if Logs are available).
  • Page 13: Pressure/Temperature Testing

    TEMPERATURE TESTING Select the Temperature Rotary Dial position. Use the T1 connection for the Flue Probe temperature sensor Use the T2 connection for the Inlet temperature sensor Real time temperature difference Real time pressure reading (pressure will only show is fitted) PRESSURE TESTING WARNING Never attempt to take a pressure reading without knowing the maximum pressure that might be present.
  • Page 14: Heat Exchanger Test

    HEAT EXCHANGER TEST NOTE: Test results; O2, CO and Excess Air will show on the printout. There are many methods to test heat exchanger integrity. One of these is to observe the Excess Air, O2 and CO readings both before and after the blower turns on.
  • Page 15: Printouts

    To print, simply press and release the PRINT BUTTON. Printing can be aborted by pressing the PRINT BUTTON again. UEi Infrared Printer Make sure the printer is switched on, ready to accept data and its infrared receiver is in line with the analyzer’s infrared emitter (on top of the analyzer).

    POWERING OFF When you power off the analyzer, there is a 10 second purge. Make sure you do not exceed the analyzer’s operating specifications. In particular: • Do not exceed the flue probes maximum temperature (1112˚F) • Do not exceed the analyzer’s internal temperature range •...
  • Page 22: Replacing The Batteries

    REPLACING THE BATTERIES This meter has been designed for use with both Alkaline or rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries. No other types are recommended and will void warranty. The analyzer is supplied with 3 (AA) size NiMH rechargeable batteries. These should be installed into the instrument.

When customers book their recertification, they receive a prepaid UPS Ground shipping label .
  • Page 24: Other Important Factors Relating To Combustion

    UEi’s electronic combustion analyzers perform the measurements on a continuous basis, and can calculate the efficiency as adjustments are being made. Combine this with a printout and you are able to provide a before and after comparison of the combustion equipment in relatively little time as part of normal servicing.
