A. Safety advice
Avoid electrical hazards:
Never use the measuring instrument and probes to measure on or near live parts!
Protect the measuring instrument:
Never store the measuring instrument/sensors together with solvents
(e.g. acetone). Do not use any desiccants.
Product with Bluetooth® (Option)
Changes or modifications, which are not expressly approved by the responsible official
body, can lead to a withdrawal of operating permission.
Interference with data transfer can be caused by instruments which transmit on
the same ISM band, e.g. microwave ovens, ZigBee
The use of radio connections is not allowed in e.g. aeroplanes and hospitals. For this
reason, the following point must be checked before entering:
Deactivate Bluetooth function
Inst’ settings Communication Select IrDA
Product safety/
preserving warranty claims:
Operate the measuring instrument only within the parameters specified in the Techni-
cal data.
Handle the measuring instrument properly and according to its intended purpose.
Never apply force!
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.
Open the measuring instrument only when this is expressly described in the instruc-
tion manual for maintenance purposes.
Carry out only the maintenance and repair work that is described in the instruction
manual. Follow the prescribed steps exactly. For safety reasons, use only original
spare parts from Testo.

A. Safety advice 7

Any additional work must only be carried out by authorised personnel. Testo will
otherwise refuse to accept responsibility for the proper functioning of the measuring
instrument after repair and for the validity of certifications.
Ensure correct disposal:
Dispose of defective rechargeable batteries and spent batteries at the collection
points provided for that purpose.
Send the measuring instrument directly to us at the end of its useful life. We will ensu-
re that it is disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner.

B. Intended purpose
This chapter describes the areas of application for which the measuring instrument is
intended.
The testo 340 is a handheld measuring instrument used in professional flue gas analysis
for:
· Engineers servicing/monitoring industrial combustion plants (process systems, power
stations)
· Emissions inspectors
· Engine manufacturers and operators
· Service engineers/mechanics of burner/boiler manufacturers in the industrial sector
Typical measuring tasks and particular characteristics of the testo 340 include:
· Measurement on industrial engines (CO/NO dilution)
· Measurement on gas turbines (high precision CO and NO plus optional dilution)
· Emissions measurement (integrated flow speed and differential pressure measurement)
testo 340 should not be used:
· for continuous measurements > 2 h
· as a safety (alarm) instrument
The testo 340 with the Bluetooth option may only be operated in countries in which it
is type approved (see Technical Data).

E. Operation
This chapter describes the steps that have to be executed frequently when using the
product.
Please read this chapter carefully. The following chapters of this document will assu-
me you are already familiar with the content of this chapter.
E.1 Mains unit/rechargeable battery
If the mains unit is connected, the measuring instrument is automatically powered from
the mains unit. It is not possible to charge the rechargeable battery in the measuring
instrument during operation.
E.1.1 Changing the battery
The measuring instrument must not be connected to a mains socket via the mains
unit. The measuring instrument must be switched off. Change the rechargeable bat-
tery within 60 minutes, otherwise instrument settings (e.g. date/time) will be lost.
1Place the measuring instrument on its front.
2Loosen screws with a Philips screwdriver, release
clip in the direction of the arrow and remove servi-
ce cover.
3Open the rechargeable battery compartment:
Press the orange key and push in the direction of
the arrow.
4Remove the rechargeable battery and insert a new
one. Use only Testo 0515 0100 rechargeable bat-
teries!
5Close the rechargeable battery compartment:
Press the orange key and push against the direc-
tion of the arrow until the rechargeable battery
engages.
6Replace and close service cover (clip must click
in), fix with screws.
E. Operation 15

E.1.2 Charging batteries
The rechargeable battery can only be charged at an ambient temperature of ±0...+35°C.
If the rechargeable battery has discharged completely, the charging time at room tempe-
rature is approx. 5-6 hrs.
Charging in the measuring instrument
The measuring instrument must be switched off.
1Connect the plug of the mains unit to the mains unit socket on the measuring instru-
ment.
2Connect the mains plug of the mains unit to a mains socket.
- The charging process will start. The charge status will be shown on the display.
The charging process will stop automatically when the rechargeable battery is fully
charged.
Charging in the charger (0554 1103)
Refer to the documentation that comes with the charger.
Battery care
If possible, always discharge the rechargeable battery and recharge it fully.
Do not store the battery for long periods when discharged. (The best storage condi-
tions are at 50-80 % charge level and 10-20 °C ambient temperature; charge fully
before further use).
E.1.3 Operation with the mains unit
1Connect the plug of the mains unit to the mains unit socket on the measuring instru-
ment.
2Connect the mains plug of the mains unit to a mains socket.
- The measuring instrument is powered via the mains unit.
- If the measuring instrument is switched off and a rechargeable battery is inserted, the
charging process will start automatically. Switching the measuring instrument on has
the effect of stopping rechargeable battery charging and the measuring instrument is
then powered via the mains unit.
E. Operation
16

E.2 Probes/sensors
E.2.1 Connecting probes/sensors
Sensor ssocket:
Sensor detection is carried out at the sensor socket during the activation process:
Always connect the sensors you need to the measuring instrument before switching
it on or switch the device on and then off again after a change of sensor so that the
correct sensor data are read into the measuring instrument.
Flue ggas ssocket:
Probe/sensor detection at the flue gas socket is carried out continuously. It is possi-
ble to change the probe/sensor even while the measuring instrument is switched on.
Connecting flue gas probes
Plug the connector onto the flue gas socket and
lock by turning it clockwise gently (bayonet lock).
There must be no more than two extension leads
(0554 1202) between the measuring instrument
and the flue gas probe.
Connecting other sensors
Insert the connector of the sensor into the sensor
socket.
Connecting the pressure tube
Connect the pressure tube/tubes to the connec-
ting nipple/nipples of the pressure socket(s).
E. Operation 17

E.2.2 Replacing the probe module
1Press the key on the top of the probe handle and
remove the probe module.
2Fit a new probe module and engage it in place.
E.3 Regular care
E.3.1 Condensate trap
The fill level of the condensate trap can be read from the markings on the trap. A
warning message is displayed if the level in the condensate trap reaches 90% ( , red
flashing light).
Emptying the condensate trap
The condensate consists of a weak mix of acids. Avoid contact with the skin. Make
sure that the condensate does not run over the housing.
Condensate entering the gas path.
Damage ttotthe ssensors aand fflue ggas ppump!
Do not empty the condensate trap while the flue gas pump is in
operation.
1Hold the measuring instrument so that the
condensate outlet points up.
2Open the condensate outlet of the condensate
trap: Push out approx. 7 mm to the stop).
3Let the condensate run out into a sink .
4Mop up any remaining drops on the condensate
outlet using a cloth.
5Close the condensate outlet.
The condensate outlet must be completely closed
(marking), otherwise measuring errors could occur
if external air gets in.

E.3.2 Checking/replacing the particle filter
Checking the particle filter:
Check the particle filter of the modular flue gas
probe for contamination at regular intervals: Check
visually by looking through the window of the filter
chamber.
Replace the filter if there are signs of contamination
Replacing the particle filter:
The filter chamber may contain condensate
1Open the filter chamber by turning it gently
anticlockwise.
2Remove the filter plate and replace it with a new
one (0554 3385).
3Fit the filter chamber again and close it by turning it
gently clockwise.
E.4 Basic operating steps
E.4.1 Switching the measuring instrument on
.
