KANE 358 OVERVIEW
The KANE358 combustion analyser measures:
● Carbon Monoxide (CO)
● Oxygen (O2)
● Pressure
● Temperature
Depending on your options these parameters are calculated:
● Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
● CO/CO2 ratio
● Combustion Eciency
● Losses
● Excess Air
● Dierential Pressure
● Dierential Temperature
Your KANE358 has a protective rubber cover with magnets for
“hands-free” operation and is supplied with a ue probe with integral
temperature sensor.
Your KANE358 has a low gas ow detector that switches o the
analyser’s pump if it detects water entering the analyser from an
overlled water trap.
Your KANE358 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 KANE358 can print out test results using an optional infrared
printer or to KANE’s wireless printer App.
Your KANE358 stores up to 30 logs of any combination of
Combustion, AUX, Temperature & Pressure test results – including 10
Tightness Tests & 10 Commissioning tests
You can add 2 lines of 16 characters to your test results header.

BATTERIES
BATTERY TYPE
This analyser uses rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries
- Using other battery types may void your analyser’s warranty.
WARNING
Although you can use Alkaline batteries you must not charge your
analyser with Alkaline batteries tted.
Do not mix NiMH cells of 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 trhe
battery compartment & t 3 NiMH “AA” rechargeable batteries ensuring
they are tted with correct battery polarity. Replace battery cover &
protective rubber cover.
TIME AND DATE
After changing batteries reset your analyser’s time & date.
CHARGING NIMH BATTERIES
Your KANE358 uses a standard Micro USB connector - For best
results turn it o then connect your charger. The charging indicator will
illuminate and turn o when the need for charge is over.
Your rst charge should be for 8 hours - Thereafter NiMH batteries can
be “topped up” at any time, even for short periods.
If your batteries discharge so that 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 358 MANUAL
GENERAL SAFETY
SAFETY WARNING
This analyser extracts combustion gases that may be toxic in relativity
low concentrations. These gases are exhausted from the bottom of the
analyser. This analyser must only be used in well-ventilated locations by
trained and 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 the instrument 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 and should only be
connected 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

11KANE 358 MANUAL
FIRST TIME USE
Charge your analyser’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 and be aware your analyser’s
conguration may not support all features explained in this manual.
Before using your analyser set it up for your requirements.
NOTE: Your analyser’s STATUS bar displays current time, date and
battery status - Check time & date are correct as they can only be
changed if you have not stored any logs in Memory to protect the
integrity of your stored data.
GENERAL OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Using your KANE358 is simple with the rotary dial and 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 and displays useful information and messages.
QUICK START
Turn on your analyser pressing the button for 2 seconds until it starts.
Your analyser starts a 60 second zero calibration - once completed
select the tests you want by turning the analyser’s rotary dial.
USER INTERFACE
Your analyser’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 and menu choices via the 3 dedicated
& buttons
Button presses are either short or long presses.

MEASURING FLUE GASSES
After the countdown is nished and the analyser is correctly set up, put
its ue probe into the appliance’s sampling point. The tip of the probe
should be at 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.
WARNING
Ensure the ue probe handle does not get hot!

18 KANE 358 MANUAL
Make sure you do not exceed the analyser’s operating specications. In
particular:
• Do not exceed ue probe max temperature - typically (600°C
• Do not exceed analyser internal temperature operating range
• Do not put analyser on hot surfaces
• Do not exceed analyser water trap’s levels
• Do not let analyser particle lter become dirty and blocked
View displayed data to ensure stable operating conditions are achieved
and readings are within expected range.
PRINTING
To print, simply press and release the button. Select your print
destination to either KANE IRP1 optional printer or App. Printing can be
stopped by pressing the button again.
KANE INFRARED PRINTER
Switch on your printer and make ready to accept data with its
infrared receiver in line with your analyser’s emitter on top of the
analyser – allow a 15cm gap between your analyser and printer.

CO SENSOR PROTECTION PUMP OPERATION
Your analyser’s CO sensor is automatically protected from high levels
of CO - When it measures CO above 2000ppm the main pump stops
and the CO purge pump starts.
Your analyser display P-OFF until CO levels go below 2000ppm.
