2. SAFETY WARNING
This analyser extracts combustion gases that may be toxic in relatively
low concentrations. These gases are exhausted from the back of the
instrument. This analyser must only be used in well-ventilated
locations by trained and competent persons after due consideration
of all the potential hazards.
Users of portable gas detectors are recommended to conduct a “bump”
check before relying on the unit to verify an atmosphere is free from
hazard.
A “bump” test is a means of verifying that an instrument is working within
acceptable limits by briefly exposing to a known gas mixture formulated
to change the output of all the sensors present. (This is different from a
calibration where the instrument is also exposed to a known gas mixture
but is allowed to settle to a steady figure 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 instrument is designated 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 fluctuations not to exceed 10% of the nominal voltage.

KANE905 Operators Manual Page 10
3. FIRST TIME USE
Charge the battery for 12 hours. Following this, an overnight charge
should be sufficient for an average 8 hour day. See Main Parameter
displays for Battery Indicator.
The KANE905 has a rechargeable NiMh battery which uses a different
charger than other Kane analysers. Ensure the correct charger is
used or damage may occur to the instrument.
Check that you have all the items you have ordered.
Take time to read this manual fully. Be aware that the analyser
configuration that you have purchased may not support all the
features detailed in this manual.
When using the analyser for the first time you will need to choose from:-
Language selection
Calibration countdown time
CO gas alarm
NOx percentage for calculation
Time and Date
Printed header name and telephone number
The SET UP MENU gives details of how to change the above settings.

KANE905 Operators Manual Page 11
4. NORMAL START UP SEQUENCE
EVERY TIME YOU USE THE ANALYSER
BEFORE SWITCH-ON CHECK THAT:
the particle filter is not dirty
the water trap and probe line are empty of water
all hose connections, etc, are properly made
the probe is sampling CLEAN AMBIENT air
the water trap is correctly fitted and the instrument upright
the flue temperature is connected
Switch ON the instrument by pressing
AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION
During this sequence the analyser pumps fresh air into the sensors to allow toxic
sensors (if fitted) to be set to zero and the Oxygen sensor to be set to 20.9 %.
After switch-on the analyser will briefly display header information :-
Kane International
KANE905
SW19604 Version: 1.02
And then show the countdown
screen :-
ZERO CAL
Time: 180
FRESH AIR PURGE
The calibration time will count down in seconds to zero. Calibration time
may be changed to 90, 120, 180, 300 seconds. See SET-UP MENU.
Note! Three minutes is recommended to allow the sensors to stabilise
fully. Anything less than this may result in drift of the toxic and
oxygen sensors in clean ambient air.

KANE905 Operators Manual Page 12
To obtain the quoted specification an instrument should be calibrated
with clean ambient air at standard temperature and pressure (STP).
Once the time has reached zero
an audible beep will be heard and
will show the selected fuel on the
following display:-
NATURAL GAS
* PRESS – MENU – KEY *

This zeros the toxic sensor and
sets Oxygen to 20.9%. The next

Two options are available when 4 parameters are selected.
 4 Page Mode displays 4 lines of data in set format, each page is
predefined.
 Line scroll mode allows you to customise the display to show the
data you require.
 8 Page Mode displays 8 parameters on 4 lines in set format, the
bottom two can be changed.
Changing between the different modes is detailed in DISPLAY MENU .

SAMPLING THE FLUE GAS
Once the automatic calibration procedure has been completed and the
specific fuel has been selected (See SELECT menu) the probe can be
inserted into the desired sampling point.
It is recommended that the sampling point be located at least two flue
diameters downstream of any bend and that the probe tip is in the centre
of the flue. With balanced flues and other domestic units the probe
should be positioned far enough into the flue so that no air can ‘back
flush’ into the probe. This will be indicated by a low oxygen reading
and/or a low ‘Poison Index’ reading.
The probe depth stop cone provided with the instrument allows the probe
to be used in holes whose diameters range from 8 mm to 21 mm (5/16 to
13/16 inch).
The standard probe is rated at 650C (1202oF). Temperatures of up to
1200C (2200F) can be accommodated using an optional high
temperature probe.
TIP: To conserve battery power, switch off the pump when you are not
taking a measurement. Use the key to turn ON and OFF the
pump.

KANE905 Operators Manual Page 16
TAKING A PRESSURE READING
A flue draught measurement can be made at any time.
Connect the standard probe to the pressure sensor inlet and the probe in
the flue.

To perform a combustion test and display draught pressure at the same
time a special probe is required. Contact Kane International or
Authorised Distributor for details.
TAKING A FLOW READING
In the UNITS menu set the pressure units to metres/sec (m/sec). These
are the only units available for flow measurement.
This also set the pressure display to Pascal (Pa). There is a range limit
for the Pitot calculation of15Pa to 4600Pa (0.15mbar to 46mbar).
For most accurate flow measurement the flue gas temperature should
also be measured. If a flue temperature probe is not fitted then the
internal ambient measurement is used. ‘Flue’ temperature must be
between -10oC to +650oC.
REGULAR CHECKS DURING SAMPLING
Care must be taken at all times not to exceed the analysers operating
specifications, in particular ensure the following :-
 Do not exceed the maximum temperature of the flue probe.
 The analyser internal temperature does not exceed normal operating
range, typically 0-50C.
 DO NOT PLACE THE INSTRUMENT ON A HOT SURFACE.
 The water trap is vertical at all times. Water condenses in the probe
line and can quickly fill the water trap when the probe is moved. Take
care and watch the water trap closely.

KANE905 Operators Manual Page 17
 The in-line particle filter is clean and does not become blocked.
NORMAL SHUTDOWN SEQUENCE
DO THIS EVERY TIME YOU USE THE ANALYSER
Remove the probe from the flue - TAKE CARE! THE PROBE WILL BE
HOT - and allow it to cool naturally. Do not immerse the probe in water
as this will be drawn into the analyser and damage the pump and
sensors.
Once the probe is removed from the flue press and the analyser
will count down from 30 to switch off.
OFF 30
MENU TO ESCAPE
If you have not finished but press by mistake, you can press
to return to normal operation and not switch OFF.
