KANE101 OVERVIEW
The KANE101 tests for ambient CO and ambient CO2concentrations.
Optionally it will also measure ozone and with an external wand
temperature, humidity and airflow
The large display shows 6 lines of data which can be printed via an
optional infrared printer. The printed data can be 'live' data or 'stored
data'. Data can also be transferred wireless to an Android Printer App or
KANE LIVE software.
The KANE101 is controlled using 4 buttons and a rotary dial.
The four buttons (from left to right)
switch the instrument on and off, or temporarily hold or ‘freeze’
the current reading.
print actual or saved data, switch the backlight on and off,
switch the pump on and off

The buttons with , and also change settings such as date, time,
when in menu mode.
The KANE101 can store up to 142 store locations –40 AUX, 40 Ambient
CO2/CO, 40 IAQ, 2 Timed Logs up to 240 tests and 20 Room test.
The KANE101 is powered by internal re-chargeable NiMH batteries. The
internal battery will power the analyser for about 6Hr, from full charge.
The KANE101 has a protective rubber sleeve with a magnet for “hands–
free” operation.

NOTE: Fresh air is referred to in this manual. Sometimes it may be
convenient to use thin flexible tubing (min ID. 3mm.) to supply
fresh outside air, if a tube is used ensure that the inlet is at least
1 meter away from any possible source of CO2such as an open
window.
Fuel combustion of any sort may cause high and fluctuating
levels of CO2over surprisingly large areas. Exhaled breath can
easily reach 20,000ppm.
The air in a sealed room is not really fresh so it is really
important to use outside fresh air away from flues, car
exhausts etc

2. BATTERIES
Battery Type
This analyser has been designed for use with disposable alkaline
batteries or rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries. No
other battery types are recommended.
WARNING
The battery charger unit must only be used when NiMH batteries
are fitted. Do not mix NiMH cells of different capacities or from
different manufacturers. All four cells must be identical
Replacing Batteries
Turn over the analyser, remove its protective rubber cover and fit 4 “AA”
batteries in the battery compartment. Take great care to ensure they
are fitted with the correct battery polarity. Replace the battery cover
and protective rubber cover.
Switch the analyser on and check that the analyser’s time and date are
correct. To reset see USING THE MENU, Section 5.
Charging NiMH Batteries
Ensure that you use the correct charger. The part number is 19278.
To fully charge NiMH batteries:
The charger must be connected and switched on.
When charging, the red Battery Charging Indicator will illuminate.
After a few seconds, the display will show “ CHARGING
BATTERY” if they need extra charge.
The first charge should be for 12 hours continuously. NiMH batteries are
suitable for top up charging at any time, even for short periods.
An in-vehicle charger can be used to top up the analyser's batteries from
a 12 volt vehicle battery. The part number is 18342.

Battery Disposal
Always dispose of depleted batteries using approved disposal methods
that protect the environment
3. BEFORE USING THE ANALYSER FOR THE FIRST
TIME:
Set the correct time, date etc, after it is switched on and calibrated –See
USING THE ROTARY DIAL below. These are stored when the analyser
is switched off.
4. BEFORE USING THE ANALYSER EVERY TIME:
Check the water trap is empty and the particle filter is not dirty:
- To empty the water trap, unscrew its red stopper and re-screw
once it is empty.
- To change the filter, remove protective rubber sleeve, pull out the
water trap , remove the water trap’s particle filter from the spigot
and replace. Reconnect the water trap and rubber protective
sleeve.
Remember to always switch on in outside fresh air.
After switch on check that date and time are correct and battery power is
sufficient.
Avoid exposing the instrument to sudden large temperature changes,
and ensure that the unit reads zero for CO and approx. 400 ppm CO2in
fresh outside air before use. If necessary re-zero.

Page 9
SAFETY WARNING
This analyser can be used to extract 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.
It is recommended that the analyser is switched on in outside fresh
air so that the levels of CO when entering a premise can be
measured and any potential danger can be spotted.
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).

5. USING THE ANALYSER AND ITS FOUR BUTTONS:
Switching
ON the
analyser
Or HOLD
the
readings
Press the button to switch the unit ON outside in
fresh air. This allows the analyser’s sensors to be
calibrated. This will set CO to zero and CO2to around 400
ppm .
At switch on, the analyser beeps four times and displays
the model number. The bottom line counts down from
typically 90 seconds.
When the analyser is running in measurement mode a
quick press of this key will HOLD the reading. Another
quick press will release the readings.
Switching
OFF the
analyser
Press the button to switch the analyser OFF. The
display counts down from 30 with the pump on to allow time
for the sensors to be cleaned or purged with fresh air. If the
probe is connected, make sure both analyser and probe are
in fresh air.
Press / if you want to stop the count-down to off
and return to making measurements.
Using 
/ /
Buttons
Once the “on” countdown has been completed:
Use the / / keys to change settings (such as
time and date ) when the rotary dial is turned to MENU.
Use the

key
Press to save readings if memory locations are available.
The display will flash LOG xxx (or FULL) to give the store
location of the saved data.

Page 11
Switching
on and off
the
backlight.
Press for about 2 sec. and release to switch backlight
on or off.
Note: use of the backlight increases the drain on the
battery.
Printing
Data
Press to start the analyser printing. The analyser
displays "PRINTING" until this is completed.
Make sure the printer is switched on, ready to accept data
and its infrared receiver is in line with the emitter on top of
the analyser.
Switching
PUMP on /
off
The analyser normally operates with the pump on. Press
to switch the pump off and on.
When the pump is switched off, the analyser displays
"PUMP OFF" approx every 20 seconds.
“Freezing”
the display
Press to freeze all readings. The display flashes and
can be printed by pressing the PRINT key. Press again for
“live” measurements.
