1. BEFORE USING ANALYSER CHECK THE FOLLOWING:
Particle filter is not dirty or wet.
Water trap and flue probe hose are empty of water
Water trap and red screw plug are fitted correctly to the analyser
Flue probe hose is connected properly to the flue gas inlet
Flue probe temperature plug is connected into T1 temperature connection
Please read the Safety Warnings in the User Manual
2. FRESH AIR PURGE
Position the flue probe in fresh air, then press the “On/Off” button. The analyser auto-
calibrates for approximately 90 seconds. When complete…
Select “Ratio” on the dial. In fresh air the CO reading = 0ppm
Select “O2/Eff” on the dial. In fresh air the O2 reading = 20.9%
Select “Status” on the dial to view the following…

- Current date. Can be set via the “Menu”, (see section 11)
- Number of days until re- calibration is required
Note: Boiler inlet air temperature can either be…
a) Set automatically by the flue probe during the fresh air purge, or
b) Continuously measured if a thermocouple is plugged into the T2 socket
3. COMBUSTION TESTS
Select “Ratio” on the dial to check that the analyser is set for the correct fuel. To change
fuel select MENU / SETUP / SET FUEL then use scroll and enter, (see section 11).
Position the flue probe as per the boiler manufacturer’s instructions; typically the tip of
the flue probe is inserted to the centre of the flue. The readings will stabilise after 60
seconds assuming the boiler conditions are stable.
The rotary switch can be used to display the following information…

5. LET-BY and TIGHTNESS TESTING (Also see section 9)
Select “Tightness”. The pump stops. Press the PUMP button to auto-zero the pressure
sensor. Select “yes” or “no” for the let-by test by using  or , then press . Connect
from the test point to P1 using a black connector and manometer hose. Adjust the gas
pressure as you would with a “U” tube manometer. Press to start either the let-by
test or the stabilisation period…

- Let-by and tightness test are automatically stored as a log number
- Pressure at start of tightness test
- Pressure at end of tightness test
- The test can be printed immediately or later from the memory
Note: The analyser’s memory can store up to 20 tightness tests. Tightness tests are logged
automatically therefore the tightness section of the memory will be full after the 20th
tightness test is complete. Before the 21st tightness test can be performed the
tightness section of the memory must be cleared. To do this select MENU / REPORT /
TIGHTN’S / DEL ALL / YES then press .

9. FOR BEST PRESSURE SENSOR ACCURACY
1) Switch the analyser on for 5 minutes to let the temperature stabilise.
2) Zero the pressure sensor when the analyser in the exact position that it will be
used.

A limited mode for pressure and temperature only that avoids the 90 second countdown
.
With the KANE457 switched off, press and hold down / and then press
and release / . Release / after MANO_MOD is displayed on
top line.
The KANE457 will now operate as a fixed display thermometer/pressure meter with the
pump off and inhibited. The readings can be printed but not stored.
