KANE-EGA4/5 OVERVIEW
Your analyzer measures up to 5 engine exhaust gases
Depending on your options it measures or calculates:
•Carbon Monoxide 0-10% (CO)
•Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
•Hydrocarbons 0-5000ppm (HC)
•Oxygen (O2)
•Nictric Oxide (NO)
•Nitrogen Oxide (NOx)
•Corrected Carbon Monoxide (COk)
•Temperature
•Differential Temperature
•Lamba
•Air Conditioning & Refrigeration systems
Your analyzer has an integral protective rubber cover and easy fit
accessory clip on rear above the battery compartment.
Your analyzer flow detector system automatically detects a blockage in the
sampling system.
Your analyzer prints test results using an optional infra-red KANE printer or
wirelessly sends test results to the KANE LIVE App.
MEMORY
Your analyzer stores tests, known as logs:
•178 engine exhaust analysis tests
•178 temperature tests
•89 KANE-DTHA2 airflow, temperature & humidity tests
•2 tests of up to 1440 timed logs
•163 air conditioning & refrigeration tests
You can personalize your test results, entering up to 2 lines of 24 characters.

BATTERY TYPE
Your analyzer uses rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH)
batteries. Using other battery types may void your analyser warranty.
WARNING
Although you can use Alkaline batteries do not charge your analyzer
with Alkaline batteries fitted.
Do not mix NiMH cells with different capacities or from different
manufacturers - All batteries must be identical.
REPLACING BATTERIES
Turn over your analyzer & remove battery compartment cover.
Fit 6 x NiMH “AA” rechargeable batteries with correct battery polarity.
Replace battery compartment cover.
TIME AND DATE
After changing batteries reset your analyzer time & date.
CHARGING NiMH BATTERIES
Your first charge should be for 8 hours - Thereafter NiMH batteries can be
topped up any time, even for short periods.
BATTERY DISPOSAL
Always dispose of depleted batteries using approved disposal methods that
protect the environment.

GENERAL SAFETY
SAFETY WARNING
Your analyzer extracts gases that may be toxic in relativity low
concentrations.
These gases are exhausted from the back & bottom of the analyzer.
This analyzer must only be used in well-ventilated locations by trained and
competent persons after due consideration of all potential hazards.
Portable gas detectors should conduct “bump” tests before relying on units
to verify atmospheres are free from hazards.
A “bump” test checks an analyzer works within acceptable limits by briefly
exposing it to known gas mixtures to change output of sensors present.
NOTE: This is different from a calibration where your analyser is
exposed to known gas mixtures but allowed to settle to a steady figure
with readings adjusted to the test gas concentration.
Protection Against Electric Shock - (In accordance with EN 61010-1:2010).
This analyzer is designed as Class III equipment and should only be
connected to SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) 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
