2 Safety and disposal
General safety instructions
•Always operate the product properly, for its intended purpose and within the
parameters specified in the technical data. Do not use any force.
•Do not commission the instrument if there are signs of damage on the
housing.
•Dangers may also arise from the systems being measured or the measuring
environment: Make sure you comply with the locally valid safety regulations
when carrying out measurements.
•Do not expose the product to temperatures above 50 °C (122 °F).
•Do not store the product together with solvents. Do not use any desiccants.
•Only maintenance and repair work that is described in the documentation
may be carried out on this instrument. Follow the prescribed steps exactly
when doing the work. Only use original spare parts from Testo.
Built-in rechargeable battery
DANGER
Risk of death!
The built-in rechargeable battery can explode if it gets too hot.
-Do not expose the product to ambient temperatures above 50°C.
•Do not remove the rechargeable battery.
•Improper use of rechargeable batteries may cause destruction of the
batteries, injuries due to current surges, fire or the escape of chemicals.
•Do not deform rechargeable batteries. Rechargeable batteries must not be
squashed, drilled, dismantled, pierced, modified or damaged in any other
way. This may lead to the leakage of battery acid, to the escape of gases
and/or to an explosion.
•In principle, contact with escaping battery components may present a risk to
health and to the environment. Adequate body and respiratory protection is
therefore required when in contact with batteries that exhibit abnormalities
(escaping contents, deformations, discolourations, dents or the like).

2 Safety and disposal
7
•Rechargeable batteries must be disposed of in accordance with the local
and country-specific regulations. In order to prevent short circuits and the
associated heating, lithium batteries must never be stored unprotected in
bulk. Appropriate measures against short circuits are, for instance, inserting
the batteries into the original packaging or a plastic bag, masking the poles
or embedding them in dry sand.
•Rechargeable lithium batteries must be transported and shipped in
accordance with the local and country-specific regulations.
•If there is any contact with the skin or eyes, the areas must be rinsed with
water for at least 15 minutes. If there is any contact with the eyes, a doctor
must be contacted in addition to the rinsing.
•If burns are caused, these must be treated appropriately. You are also
strongly advised to contact a doctor.
•Airways: leave the room immediately when smoke development or gas
release is acute. Consult a doctor when amounts are larger and airways are
irritated.
2.1 Product-specific information
•Magnets are installed on the back of the device to attach it to metallic
surfaces.
DANGER
Magnetic field
May be hazardous to the health of pacemaker wearers.
-Keep a minimum distance of 20 cm between the pacemaker and the
device.
ATTENTION
Magnetic field
Damage to other devices!
-Keep a safe distance from products that can be damaged by
magnetism (e.g. monitors, computers, credit cards).
•Temperatures given on probes/sensors relate only to the measuring range of
the sensors. Do not expose handles and feed lines to any temperatures in
excess of 70 °C unless they are expressly permitted for higher temperatures.
•Dangers may also arise from the systems being measured or the measuring
environment: Note the safety regulations valid in your area when performing
the measurements.
Use distilled water, or alternatively mild solvents such as isopropanol to
clean the flue gas analyzer. If using isopropanol, please refer to the
instruction leaflet for the product. Isopropanol fumes have a slight

narcotic effect, and typically cause irritation of the eyes and sensitive
mucous membranes. When using it, please ensure that there is
adequate ventilation.
Do not store any objects that have come into contact with solvents
and/or degreasers (e.g. isopropanol) in the case. Evaporating or leaking
solvents and/or degreasers may cause damage to the instrument and
to the sensors.
The use of strong or harsh alcohol or brake cleaner can result in
damage to the instrument.
2.2 Disposal
•Dispose of faulty rechargeable batteries in accordance with the valid legal
specifications.
WEEE Reg. Nr. DE 75334352
•At the end of its useful life, deliver the product to the separate collection
point for electric and electronic devices (observe local regulations) or return
the product to Testo for disposal.
3 Products with wireless technology
Changes or modifications that have been made without the explicit consent of
the competent approval authority may lead to cancellation of the type approval.
Data transfer may be disturbed by equipment that uses the same ISM band.
Places where the use of radio communication links is not permitted include
aeroplanes and hospitals. For this reason, the following points must be ensured
before entering:
•Switch the instrument off.
•Disconnect the instrument from any external power sources (mains cable,
external energy storage units, etc.).

5 Intended use
The testo 310 II is a handheld measuring instrument for the professional flue
gas analysis of combustion plants:
•Small combustion plants (oil and gas)
•Low-temperature and condensing boilers
•Gas water heaters
These systems can be adjusted using the testo 310 II and checked for
compliance with the applicable limit values.
The following tasks can also be carried out using the testo 310 II:
•Regulating the O2, CO and CO2 values in combustion plants for the purpose
of ensuring optimal operation.
•Draught measurement.
•Measuring and regulating the gas flow pressure in gas water heaters.
•Ambient CO measurement.
The testo 310 II must not be used:
•as a safety (alarm) device

7 First steps
7.1 Charging the rechargeable battery
DANGER
-Do not charge the rechargeable battery in potentially explosive
atmospheres!
-The device must only be recharged using the corresponding charger
outside of a potentially explosive atmosphere in the ambient
temperature range from 0 °C …+35 °C.
WARNING
Risk of injury! The instrument may be damaged!
Deformation around the battery!
Regularly check the instrument for deformations or damage around the battery.
If you notice any deformation, the instrument must no longer be used. Switch it
off to prevent physical injury or damage to the instrument. Dispose of the
instrument properly (observe local regulations) or return it to Testo for disposal.
The rechargeable battery is permanently installed and can only be
changed by a Testo service centre.
The measuring instrument is supplied with a partially charged
rechargeable battery.
-Charge the rechargeable battery fully before using the
measuring instrument.
Only charge the battery using the original Testo mains unit supplied.
The instrument indicates that the battery needs to be charged via an unfilled
battery symbol.
1
Connect the instrument to the mains via the mains unit. To do this,
insert the plug of the mains unit into the charging socket on the left
lower side of the instrument.

The charging process will start. The charge status will be shown on
the display. The charging process will stop automatically when the
battery is fully charged.

7 First steps
15
Battery care
•Do not fully exhaust the rechargeable battery.
•Only store instrument with battery charged and at low temperatures, but not
below 0°C (best storage conditions with a charge level of 50-75% = 2
segments, at an ambient temperature of 10-20°C, recharge completely
before use).
•The rechargeable battery life depends on the storage, operating and
ambient conditions. The available useful life of the rechargeable battery
reduces more and more with frequent use. If the useful life is significantly
shortened, the rechargeable battery should be replaced.
7.2 Mains operation
Do not perform any measurements during mains operation.
Measurements during mains operation can lead to measurement errors
(measurement accuracy during mains operation may no longer be
within the specification).
1
Connect the plug of the mains unit to the mains unit socket on the
measuring instrument.
2
Connect the mains plug of the mains unit to a mains socket.

The measuring instrument is powered by the mains unit.
If the measuring instrument is switched off during mains operation, the
charging process starts automatically.
