  • Page 18: Sampling Hole Location

    Operation 4.2 Sampling Hole Location The analyzer requires that a ½" diameter sampling hole be made in the furnace stack to accommodate the probe stop on the Probe and Hose Assembly. Locate the sampling hole downstream from the last heat exchanger, and upstream from any source of dilution, such as a draft diverter (Figure 4-1).
  • Page 19: Performing A Combustion Test

    Operation 4.3 Performing a Combustion Test Important! Large rapid changes in the temperature of the analyzer can affect its accuracy. This is important to know if the analyzer is stored in a cold place (such as an unheated vehicle in the winter) and then taken into a warm furnace area.
  • Page 20: Installing Probe In The Stack

    Operation 4.3.2 Installing Probe in the Stack 1. After making a sampling hole in the stack (Section 4.2), and turning on the analyzer (Section 4.3.1), screw the probe stop supplied with the Probe and Hose Assembly into the sampling hole (Figure 4-2). 2.
  • Page 21: Starting A Combustion Test

    Operation 4.3.3 Starting a Combustion Test Important! If the burner’s primary-air temperature is not the same as the room temperature, then be sure the Optional Room Air / Primary Air Thermocouple is installed per Section 3.3. 1. With the Combustion Test Screen (Section 4.7) displayed and the probe installed in the stack, press the key to start a combustion test.
  • Page 22: Turning Off The Analyzer And Purging The Co Sensor

    Operation CAUTION: Do not place a hot probe inside the instrument’s carrying case. Allow the probe to cool before storage. 2. Loosen the thumbscrew on the probe stop; then remove the probe and probe stop from the stack. 3. If data was saved during the combustion test, you can turn off the analyzer and review or print the stored data at a later time as de- scribed in Sections 4.10 and 4.23.
  • Page 23: Differential Pressure Measurement

    Operation 4.4 Differential Pressure Measurement The difference in pressure (P) between two areas can be measured by using the PCA’s two pressure ports and DRAFT Screen. By using Pres- sure Port 2 (–) as the reference, the pressure applied to Port 1 (+) will be displayed on the DRAFT Screen as the differential pressure between the two ports.
