KANE958 OVERVIEW
Your KANE958 combustion analyser measures:
• Carbon Monoxide (CO)
• Oxygen (O2)
• Pressure
• Differential Temperature
• Temperature
• Differential Pressure
Depending on your options it measures or calculates:
• Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
• Nitric Oxide (NO)
• Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)
• CO/CO2 ratio
• Combustion Efficiency
• Losses
• Excess Air
• Sulphar Dioxide (SO2)
• Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2)
Your KANE958 has a protective rubber cover with magnets for
“hands-free” operation and is supplied with a flue probe with integral
temperature sensor.
Your KANE958 has a low flow detector system to switch off the analyser
pump if it detects water entering from an over filled water trap.
Your KANE958 has a large 6 line display showing data and test results
based on your actions. The display bottom line also highlights analyser
status at all times.
Your KANE958 prints test results using an optional infrared printer or
wirelessly sends them to the KANE wireless APP.
Your KANE958 stores up to 45 logs of any combination of Combustion, AUX,
Temperature & Pressure test results.
You can enter 2 lines of 24 characters on your test results printout.

BATTERIES
BATTERY TYPE
Your KANE958 uses rechargeable Nickel Material Hydride (NiMH) batteries
- Using other battery types may void your analyser’s warranty.
WARNING
Although you can use Alkaline batteries you must not charge your
analyser 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 analyser, remove protective rubber cover, find battery
compartment & fit 3 NiMH “AA” rechargeable batteries ensuring
correct battery polarity. Replace battery cover & protective rubber cover.
TIME AND DATE
After changing batteries reset your analyser time & date.
CHARGING NiMH BATTERIES
Your KANE958 uses a standard Micro USB connector - For best results
turn off then connect your charger. Charging indicator will illuminate
then turn off when charging is complete.
Your first charge should be for 8 hours - Thereafter NiMH batteries can
be topped up at any time, even for short periods
If your batteries discharge and your analyser enters a low power shutdown,
1 hour charge provides approx. 2 hours continuous use.
BATTERY DISPOSAL
Always dispose of depleted batteries using approved disposal methods to
protect our environment.
KANE958 MANUAL 9

GENERAL SAFETY
SAFETY WARNING
Your analyser extracts combustion gases that may be toxic in relativity low
concentrations. These gases are exhausted from the back 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 detectors should conduct “bump” tests before relying
on units to verify atmospheres are free from hazards.
A “bump” test is a way to check an instrument works within acceptable
limits by briefly exposing it to known gas mixtures to change the output
of all 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 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 fluctuations not to exceed 10% of the nominal voltage
10 KANE958 MANUAL

FIRST TIME USE
Charge your analyser batteries for 8 hours - an overnight charge
should be sufficient for an average 8 hour day.
Take time to read this manual fully and be aware your analyser
configuration may not support all features explained in this manual.
Before using your analyser ensure it is set up for your requirements.
NOTE: Your analyser STATUS bar displays current time, date and
battery status - Check time & date are correct as they can only be
changed if you have not stored logs in Memory to protect the
integrity of your stored data.
GENERAL OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Using your KANE958 is simple with the rotary dial and user interface.
Most tests can be made with little user activity.
Your analyser status bar offers options based on tasks you are
performing and displays useful information and messages.
QUICK START
Turn on your analyser in fresh outdoor air pressing the button for 2
seconds. Your analyser starts a 60 second zero calibration - once
completed select your tests by turning the analyser rotary dial.
USER INTERFACE
Your analyser display shows 5 lines of tests & a status bar. The
backlight activates on each button press then turns off after 10 seconds.
Navigate through your options and menu choices via 3 dedicated
& buttons.
Button presses are either short or long.

MEASURING FLUE GASES
After countdown is finished and your analyser is correctly set up, put your
flue probe into the appliance sampling point. The probe tip should be in the
flue centre - use flue probe depth stop cone to set position.
With balanced flues, make sure probe is positioned far enough into
the flue so no air can “back flush” into the probe.
SAFETY WARNING
Ensure your flue probe handle does not get hot!
Do not exceed analyser operating specifications - In particular:
• Do not exceed flue probe maximum temperature (600°C)
• Do not exceed analyser internal temperature operating range
• Do not put analyser on a hot surface
• Do not exceed analyser water trap levels
• Do not let analyser particle filter become dirty and blocked
Check readings are stable and within expected range.
KANE958 MANUAL 17

CO SENSOR PROTECTION PUMP OPERATION
Your analyser CO sensor is automatically protected from high levels of
CO. When CO is above the maximum range of your analyser the main pump
stops and CO Purge pump starts.
Your analyser displays - - - - until CO levels fall below the maximum
measurement range.
