Operating with rechargeable battery
The built-in rechargeable battery should be completely recharged (see rechargeable battery display
during calibration phase) before the first measurement and following breaks in operation lasting
several days. If operation is stopped for longer periods of time, the rechargeable battery should be
recharged at least every 4 weeks in order to avoid total discharge.
Operation via plug-in mains unit
Only the original mains unit should be used when operating the analyser. Damaged mains
cables should only be replaced by original mains cables available from the manufacturer
or distributor (i. e. from an authorised service point).
Flue gas probes
Only flue gas probes with an integrated condensate trap or the testo compact gas drier can be connected to
testo 300-I. If a probe without an integrated filter and condensate unit is connected, the analyser will break
down.
Tightness
The complete measuring system (probe, condensate trap, hoses and connections) should be checked for
tightness before every measurement, e.g. by attaching a pressed in rubber bladder. Inleaked air can result in
false measurements.
Gas outlet
When measuring ensure that the gas outlets of the analyser are uncovered so that the gas can escape. If this
is not the case the results measured could be false.
Condensate trap
The condensate trap should only be emptied with the pump switched off (otherwise this could be dangerous
for the measuring cells)!
Measuring cells
Small amounts of concentrated acids are found in the measuring cells (except in the O2sensor →alkaline
solution) and should be disposed of responsibly.
Analyser
If the analysers are kept in rooms where solvents are stored this may destroy the measuring cells.

Operating the analyser
Initial operation

Operation of the testo 300-I is organised such that you can always recognise the button functions in the display.
The keyboard
The function buttons enable you to quickly change instrument functions and to completely control the
measurement. The function behind the function buttons are shown in the function toolbar. Not all of the function
buttons in every menu have been assigned. Arrows ( or ) left or right above the function toolbar indicate that
there are additional functions in the menu.
These additional functions are displayed by pressing the left arrow button or right arrow button
and are activated via the function buttons.
With the up /down arrow buttons you can scroll between the reading windows (in the
measurement menu) or you can select a menu item from a list. If you have arrived at the last window/menu item
you will automatically return to the first window or the first menu item.
Via the print button you can print the measurement shown on the display. The data is printed either on
the attachable printer or on the desktop printer depending on the preset printer type (see the Chapter on
printing the measured results).
The analyser is switched on or off with the I/O button . Before the final switch-off, the switch-off message
appears in the display. You can still prevent the analyser from being switched off by pressing any button except
. The analyser then returns to the measurement menu.
Via the button, you can cancel selected processes or items or leave submenus. If you leave a submenu,
by pressing you can usually go back one menu window until you are in the main menu.
The selection and execution of the chosen function is confirmed by the Confirm button . If you wish to go
from the measurement menu to the main menu simply press the button.
The light for the display can be switched on and off via the light button or the automatic time function is
started (See Settings, “Light” Chapter) .
The display
All of the important information is shown constantly in the display.
In the measurement menu 4 measured values per window are shown in the measured value/menu display
range. When the zoom function is used (via function button) only two measured values are shown but in a
larger font.
The function toolbar describes the various function buttons. The assignment changes according to the menu.
The description of the function buttons in the display changes accordingly.
The arrows ( or ) left and right above the function toolbar indicate that there are additional functions in the
menu.
The operation display describes, with the help of graphics, the current analyser mode, e.g. indicates in which
menu you are, whether the analyser pump is operating and whether the instrument is mains operated. The
symbols are as follows:
Measurement menu ⊂Mains operation Main menu
Fuel selection ⊃ ⊂ Service menu
Memory menu ↵Input/Settings
Pump is operating
You can always see which memory place has been selected and which is active in the memory display box.
The number of measurements already saved under this memory place name is shown along with a serial
number. If a memory place has not been selected “Noname” appears in the display.
Error messages appear in the status display on the left. The measured value window in which you are located
is indicated on the right side of the measurement menu e.g. 2/5 means that you are on page 2 out of a
possible 5.

Inputting numerical values
The cursor first turns up at a position on the respective digit. With the arrow
buttons and you can increase and decrease the numerical value.
Example: 0.2 ➞➞0.3
If you keep the button pressed the values will increase or decrease. If the
number 9 or 0 is exceeded the values will be counted on by one decimal
place.
Example: 19.9 ➞➞20.0
Using the arrow buttons and the respective decimal place can be
reached and changed.
Example: 110.5 ➞➞110.5 ➞➞210.5
Text input (alphanumeric characters)
The respective required character is selected from the list of all available
characters via the , , , arrow buttons and is
transmitted to the text line via STORE.
The last character in the text line is deleted via DELETE. Once the text is
input, save the complete text line with .
Maximum 20 characters per text line are visible. More characters can be
entered in some cases. The text line then moves automatically to the left.

Since the NO measuring cell (if present) is constantly supplied with
voltage from the rechargeable battery inside the analyser the
rechargeable battery must be regularly recharged.
It is normal that the mains unit heats up. If temperatures are too high
(e.g. on account of an error in the analyser) the mains unit is protected
against overheating by a thermal protection switch.
The display for the rechargeable battery may drop to 1/2 or 2/3 after being
switched on or after a brief operating time caused by the characteristics
of the battery or the starting current. However, this does not affect the
life of the rechargeable battery.
