KANE 258 OVERVIEW
The KANE 258 combustion analyser measures:
● Carbon Monoxide (CO)
● Oxygen (O2)
● Temperature
● CO Over Range Protection
Depending on tted options the following parameters are calculated:
● CO/CO2 ratio
● Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
● Combustion Efficiency
● Losses
● Excess Air
● Differential Temperature
Your KANE258 has a protective rubber cover with magnets for
“hands-free” operation & is supplied with a ue probe with integral
temperature sensor.
Your KANE258 has a low ow detector system to switch o the
analyser’s pump if it detects an over lled water trap.
Your KANE258 has a large 6 line display showing data & test results
based on your actions. The display’s bottom line also highlights analyser
status at all times.
Your KANE258 stores up to 30 logs of any combination of Combustion &
Temperature test results.
Your KANE258 can send test readings to our optional KANE IRP-2
infrared printer or KANE’s wireless App if wireless is tted.
Two lines of 16 characters can be added to the header of the printouts.

BATTERIES
BATTERY TYPE
Your KANE258 uses rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries.
- Using other battery types may void your KANE258’s warranty.
WARNING
Although you can use Alkaline batteries you must not charge your
KANE258 with Alkaline batteries tted.
Do not mix NiMH cells with dierent capacities or from dierent
manufacturers - All batteries must be identical.
REPLACING BATTERIES
Turn over your analyser & remove its protective rubber cover to nd the
battery compartment & t 3 NiMH “AA” rechargeable batteries ensuring
they are tted with correct battery polarity. Replace battery cover &
protective rubber cover.
TIME & DATE
After changing batteries reset your analyser’s time & date.
CHARGING NIMH BATTERIES
Your KANE258 uses a standard Micro USB connector - For best results
turn o then connect your charger. The charging indicator illuminates &
turns o when charging is over.
Your rst charge should be for 8 hours - Thereafter NiMH batteries can
be topped up any time, even for short periods.
If your batteries discharge so the analyser enters a low power shutdown,
1 hour’s charge provides approx 2 hours continuous use.
BATTERY DISPOSAL
Always dispose of depleted batteries using approved disposal methods
that protect the environment.

10 KANE 258 MANUAL
GENERAL SAFETY
SAFETY WARNING
Your KANE258 extracts combustion gases that may be toxic in low
concentrations. These gases are exhausted from the bottom of the
analyser. This analyser must only be used in well-ventilated locations by
trained & competent persons after due consideration of all the
potential hazards.
Portable gas detectors users should conduct “bump” tests before
relying on units to verify atmospheres are free from hazard.
A “bump” test is a way to check an instrument works within acceptable
limits by briey exposing it to known gas mixtures to change the output
of all sensors present.
NOTE: This is dierent from a calibration where your analyser is
also exposed to known gas mixtures but allowed to settle to a
steady gure with readings adjusted to the stated gas
concentration of the test gas.
Protection Against Electric Shock (In accordance with EN 61010-1:
2010):
This analyser is designed as Class III equipment & should only be con-
nected to SELV circuits. The battery charger is designated as:
● Class II equipment
● Installation category II
● Pollution degree 2
● Indoor use only
● Altitude to 2000m
● Ambient temperature 0°C-40°C
● Maximum relative humidity 80% for temperatures up to 31°C
decreasing linearly to 50%RH at 40°C
● Mains supply uctuations not to exceed 10% of the nominal voltage
WARNING
Your analyser’s protective cover is tted with strong magnets – magnetic
elds can cause damage to magnetic storage media. Certain electronic
devices are sensitive to magnetic elds & may be damaged
permanently if exposed to a strong magnetic eld.

11KANE 258 MANUAL
FIRST TIME USE
Charge your KANE258’s batteries for 8 hours - An overnight charge
should be sucient for an average 8-hour day.
Take time to read this manual fully & be aware your analyser’s
conguration may not support all features explained in this manual.
Take time to set it up to your requirements before using your analyser.
NOTE: Your analyser’s STATUS bar displays current time, date &
battery status - Check time & date are correct as they can only be
changed when you have no stored logs in Memory to protect the
integrity of your stored data.
GENERAL OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Using your KANE258 is simple with the rotary dial & user interface. Most
tests can be made with little user activity.
Your analyser’s status bar oers options based on tasks you are
performing & displays useful information & messages.
QUICK START
Turn on your KANE258 pressing the button for 2 seconds until it
starts. Your KANE258 starts a 30 second zero calibration - once
completed select the tests you want by turning the analyser’s rotary dial.
USER INTERFACE
Your KANE258’s large display shows 5 lines of tests & a status bar. The
backlight activates on each button press then turns o after 10 seconds.
Navigate through your options & menu choices via the 3 dedicated
& buttons.
Button presses are either short or long presses.

MEASURING FLUE GASSES
After countdown is nished & your analyser is correctly set up, put its
ue probe into the appliance’s sampling point. The probe tip should be
in the centre of the ue – use the ue probe’s depth stop cone to set the
position.
With balanced ues, make sure the probe is positioned far enough into
the ue so no air can “back ush” into the probe.
SAFETY WARNING
Ensure your ue probe handle does not get hot!

17KANE 258 MANUAL
Make sure you do not exceed the analyser’s operating specications. In
particular:
• Do not exceed the ue probe’s maximum temperature (600°C)
• Do not exceed the analyser’s internal temperature operating range
• Do not put the analyser on a hot surface
• Do not exceed the water trap’s levels
• Do not let the analyser’s particle lter become dirty & blocked
Look at your analyser’s displayed data to ensure stable operating
conditions are achieved & readings are within expected range.
PRINTING
Press & release to send your test results to our optional KANE
IRP-2 printer or KANE App. You can stop printing by pressing the
button again.
KANE INFRARED PRINTER
To use your printer, switch it on & place its infrared receiver in line with
the emitter on top of your analyser – allow a 15cm gap between your
analyser & printer.

18 KANE 258 MANUAL
CO PROTECTION PUMP OPERATION
Your analyser’s CO sensor is automatically protected from high levels of
CO. When levels of CO rise above 2000ppm the analyser’s pump stops
& its CO purge pump starts.
Your analyser displays P-OFF until CO levels fall below 2000ppm.
