KANE975 OVERVIEW
The KANE975 incorporates the many years of experience KANE has
gathered in gas sensing technologies and packages it into an advanced
handheld industrial combustion analyser.
With the ability to fit up to 7 gas sensors, including KANE’s own
proprietary NDIR CO2 sensor for true CO2 measurement, all aspects of
the combustion process can be monitored.
In addition to the gas sensors the KANE975 also includes dual type K
thermocouple inputs and differential pressure measurement. It is fitted
with KANE wireless as standard for operation with the KANE Live
Android application, further enhancing the user experience. As with all
advanced KANE analysers, the KANE975 supports the KANE IR printer
as standard.
The full colour graphical display provides the user with clear information
and an intuitive user interface enables simple operation.
The KANE975 also includes an over-range protection system to prevent
the CO sensor from being poisoned by excessive levels of CO.
The KANE975 has been independently certified to EN50379 parts 1, 2 &
3 by TUV.
The KANE975 can be fitted with the following sensors:
• CO
• CO2
• O2
• NO
• NO2
• SO2
• H2S

BATTERIES
BATTERY TYPE
This analyser has been designed for use with rechargeable Nickel
Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries. No other battery types are
recommended and will void warranty.
WARNING
Do not try to charge the unit with Alkaline batteries fitted.
Do not mix NiMH cells of different capacities or from
different manufacturers, all cells must be identical.
REPLACING BATTERIES
Turn over the analyser, fit 6 NiMH “AA” rechargeable batteries
in the battery compartment. Take great care to ensure they
are fitted with the correct battery polarity. Replace the
battery cover.
TIME AND DATE
When changing batteries, the time and date will need setting.
CHARGING NIMH BATTERIES
The KANE975 employs an advanced power management
system to ensure optimal performance. When a low battery
event is detected the management software will warn the user
until the battery reaches a critical level of discharge, at this
point the unit will shut down.

Page 10
If the user attempts to turn on the analyser while the batteries
are discharged the power management system will prevent turn
on.
Under normal circumstances charging is simply a case of plugging
in the supplied 12V charger (CU12VDC2A1), the analyser will
automatically activate battery charging and indicate the progress
on the display.
In the event of the analyser detecting an extreme state of
discharge of the main batteries, the user will be required to
perform the following procedure:
1. Plug in supplied 12V Charger
2. Press and hold the “On” button for 5 seconds
This will allow the charging of extremely flatbatteries.
BATTERY DISPOSAL
Always dispose of depleted batteries using approved disposal methods
that protect the environment.

GENERAL SAFETY
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.
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 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

Page 12
FIRST TIME USE
Charge the battery for 12 hours. Following this, an overnight charge
should be sufficient for an average 8-hour day.
Take time to read the 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 set it up to
your requirements.

SERVICE
Restricted area.
MANUAL AIR ZERO
Use this function to reset toxic sensor to 0 ppm and the oxygen sensor to
20.95%.
It is recommended that sensors are purged in fresh (outside)
air for at least three minutes before zeroing. If the analyser is
zeroed with its probe still in the flue, erroneous reading may
result.
MANUAL PRS ZERO
Use this function to zero the pressure transducer.
It is recommended that all pressure hoses are disconnected from the
analyser before zeroing.

Page 19
USING THE ANALYSER
EVERY TIME YOU USE THE ANALYSER
BEFORE SWITCH-ON CHECK THAT:
• The particle filter is dry and clean
• The water trap and probe line are empty of water
• All hoses connections, etc, are properly made
• The probe is sampling CLEAN AMBIENT air
• The water trap is correctly fitted and 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 20.95%.
After switch-on the analyser will briefly display header information:-
Software version number and analyser serial number.
Then “ANALYSER PURGING 90 secs” countdown will appear on top of
the main screen.
The calibration time counts down in seconds to zero, calibration time
may be changed to 90, 120, 180, 300 seconds.
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.
