KANE988 MANUAL 3

KANE988 OVERVIEW
Your KANE988 combustion analyser uses up to 6 electrochemical
sensors and our proprietary NDIR 3 gas detection bench to measure up
to 8 gases and 9 sensors.
Your KANE988 has a colour graphical display and intuitive keypad to provide
clear information and simple operation.
Your KANE988 is independently certified to EN50379 parts 1-3 by TUV.
Your KANE988 measures (sensor dependent):
• Carbon Monoxide (CO)
• Oxygen (O2)
• Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
• Nitric Oxide (NO)
• Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2)
• Sulphur Dioxide (SO2)
• Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S)
• Hydrocarbons (HC)
• Pressure
• Differential Pressure
• Temperature
• Differential Temperature
Your KANE988 also calculates (sensor dependent):
• Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)
• CO/CO2 ratio
• Combustion Efficiency
• Losses
• Excess Air
• Poison Index (Pi)
• Airflow Pitot tube
Your KANE988 has an integral protective rubber cover and easy fit accessory
clip on rear above the battery compartment.
Your KANE988 flow detector system automatedly protects your analyser if a
blockage is detected in the sampling system.
4 KANE988 MANUAL

Your KANE988 prints test results using an optional infrared printer or
wirelessly sends test results to the KANE LIVE App.
MEMORY
Your KANE988 stores:
• Combustion logs = 178
• Pressure/Temp logs = 178
• Airflow logs = 89
• DTHA2 logs = 89
• Tightness logs = 146
• Average logs = 117
• Timed Logs = 2 * 1440
You can enter 2 lines of 24 characters to personalise your test results.
KANE LINK
You can wirelessly connect optional KANE LINK devices to your analyser.
When connected, they stay connected until you use KANE LINK to remove
them.
When powered on, KANE LINK devices replace or add measurements to
your analyser.
See page 37 to add or remove optional KANE LINK devices.
CO PROTECTION AND AUTO RANGE
Your KANE988 has an electrochemical CO sensor measuring to 10,000ppm
and an NDIR CO sensor measuring to 100,000ppm / 10%.
Above 10,000ppm the NDIR sensor automatically manages CO to
100,000ppm / 10% while the electrochemical CO sensor is protected by the
over range protection pump.

BATTERIES
BATTERY TYPE
Your analyser 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 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 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 analyser 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 analyser extracts combustion gases that may be toxic in relativity low
concentrations.
These gases are exhausted from the back and bottom of the analyser.
This analyser 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 analyser 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 analyser 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
KANE988 MANUAL 11

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 use set up your analyser to your requirements.
GENERAL OPERATING PRINCIPLE
After powering on your analyser, choose tasks to perform using MENU.
Most tests can be made with little user activity.
Your analyser status bar displays useful information.
