KANE 458s OVERVIEW
Your KANE458s combustion analyser measures:
● Carbon Monoxide (CO)
● Carbon Dioxide (CO₂)
● Oxygen (O2) if tted
● Nitric Oxide (NO) if tted
● Dierential Pressure
● Dierential temperature
Your KANE458s measures CO2 using KANE’s unique NDIR sensor.
Always use fresh outdoor air to “zero” your analyser during the initial
countdown or when prompted to “ZERO CO” as indoor CO2 levels are
increased by human activity.
This applies even if your analyser measures O2 instead of CO2 as it is
best practice to use fresh, outdoor air during initial countdown to protect
you from unsafe levels of CO and CO2 possibly present in the room.
Depending on your options these parameters are calculated:
● Oxygen (O2)
● CO/CO₂ratio
● Carbon Monoxide (CO₂)
● Combustion Eciency
● Losses
● Excess Air
● Dierential Temperature
Your analyser also measures CO levels in ambient air – useful when a
CO alarm is triggered – & performs a Room CO test for up to 30 minutes.
Your KANE458s has a structured Commissioning Test to help install boilers.
Your KANE458s has a protective rubber cover with magnets for
“hands-free” operation and is supplied with a ue probe with integral
temperature sensor.
Your analyser has a low ow detector to switch o the analyser’s pump
if it detects an over lled water trap.

5KANE 458s MANUAL
Your KANE458s has a large 6 line display showing data & test results
based on your actions.
Your KANE458s can send test results to our optional KANE IRP-2
infrared printer or KANE’s wireless printer App.
The memory can store up to:
● 60 combustion tests
● 20 AUX tests
● 20 let-by/tightness tests
● 20 temperature & pressure tests
● 20 room CO tests
● 20 commissioning Tests
You can personalise 2 lines of 16 characters on your test results header
- for example your company name & telephone number.

BATTERIES
BATTERY TYPE
Your KANE458s uses rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH)
batteries - using other battery types may void your KANE458s’ warranty.
WARNING
Although you can use Alkaline batteries you must not charge your
analyser with Alkaline batteries tted.
Do not mix NiMH batteries of dierent capacities or from dierent
manufacturers – all must be identical.
REPLACING BATTERIES
Turn over your analyser and remove its protective rubber cover. Open
the battery compartment & t 3 NiMH “AA” rechargeable batteries –
check battery polarity is correct. Replace battery cover & protective
rubber cover.
TIME AND DATE
After changing the batteries reset your analyser’s time & date.
CHARGING NIMH BATTERIES
Your KANE458s uses a standard Micro USB connector for charging
(KANE part No: USB1).
For best results turn o your analyser then connect your charger – the
charging indicator illuminates and turns o when charging nishes.
Your rst charge should be for 8 hours continuously – thereafter NiMH
batteries can be topped up at any time, even for short periods.
If the analysers batteries discharge & the analyser enters a ‘low power
shut down’ a 1 hour charge will provide approx 2 hours continuous use.
BATTERY DISPOSAL
Always dispose of depleted batteries using approved disposal methods
that protect the environment.

11KANE 458s MANUAL
GENERAL 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 detector users should conduct “bump” test before relying
on the unit to verify an atmosphere is free from hazard.
A “bump” test is a way to test an instrument works within acceptable
limits by briey exposing to a known gas mixture that change the output
of all the sensors present.
Note: This is dierent from a calibration where your analyser is also
exposed to a known gas mixture but is allowed to settle to a steady
gure and the reading 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
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 and may be damaged
permanently if exposed to a strong magnetic eld.

12 KANE 458s MANUAL
USING YOUR KANE458s FOR THE FIRST TIME
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 & be aware your analyser’s
conguration may not support all features detailed in this manual.
Take time to set up your requirements before using your analyser.
USING YOUR KANE458s EVERY TIME:
Check your analyser’s water trap is empty & particle lter is not dirty.
To empty, pull out the red plug, shake out water & replace red plug.
To change the particle lter, remove protective rubber cover, slide the
water trap from analyser, remove particle lter from its spigot &
replace.
Reconnect your analyser’s water trap & rubber protective cover.
Connect your ue probe hose to your analyser’s ue gas inlet – see p.8.
Connect your ue probes temperature plug to your analyser’s T1 socket
– check plug orientation is correct – See p.8.
FRESH AIR PURGE ON SWITCH ON
Your analyser starts a zero countdown to auto calibrate itself.
When nished, rotate dial to “RATIO” – In fresh air CO reading should be
zero.
Rotate dial to “O2/EFF” – In fresh air O2 readings should be 20.9% +
0.3%.

13KANE 458s MANUAL
WARNING
This message says your analyser must be reset in fresh air.
Place your analyser in outdoor fresh air, press .
You can perform a manual “ZERO” any time – rotate dial to “RATIO” &
hold down the button to see the message above.

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
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!

• 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 and blocked
Look at your analyser’s displayed data to ensure stable operating
conditions are achieved & readings are within expected range.
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
and its CO purge pump starts.
Your analyser displays P-OFF until CO level falls below 2000ppm.
