GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
Read entire Safety Notes section regarding potential hazard and proper instructions before using this analyzer. In this manual the
word “WARNING” is used to indicate conditions or actions that may pose physical hazards to the user. The word “CAUTION” is used to
indicate conditions or actions that may damage this instrument. This analyzer must only be used in well-ventilated locations by trained
and competent persons after due consideration of all potential hazards.
To ensure safe operation and service of the tester, follow these instructions. Failure to observe these warnings can result in
severe injury or death.
• Do not use this analyzer during electrical storms or in wet weather.
• To avoid false readings, charge batteries if a low battery indicator appears.
• Always adhere to national and local safety codes. Use proper personal protective equipment (PPE).
This analyzer extracts combustion gases that may be toxic in relatively low concentrations. These gases are exhausted from the
back of the analyzer.
This analyzer is designed for trade professionals who are familiar with the hazards of their trade. Observe all recommended safety
procedures that include proper lockout utilization and use of personal protective equipment that includes safety glasses, gloves and
flame resistant clothing.
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.

OVERVIEW
CO2is set to zero in fresh air automatically after the initial 60 second countdown.
The analyzer has a protective rubber boot with magnets for hands-free operation.
A large 6 line display provides the user with relevant information based on current activity including instrument status via the new
intelligent Status Bar. All data can be printed via an optional infrared printer.
The C160 uses a new data storage system allowing up to 30 logs of any combination of Combustion rather than be restricted to an
allowance of particular logs.
10 characters can be added to Line 1 of the header, 6 characters to Line 2 of Header of the printouts.
PRE TEST CHECKLIST
SETTING INLET TEMPERATURE
ANALYZER CONNECTIONS
•Turn on and zero the analyzer without the flue probe connected to use ambient temperature.
•Connect flue probe thermocouple to T1 during zero countdown use for inlet ducted system.
•Clean particle filter
•Water trap and probe line are empty of water
•Power on and zero
•All hose and thermocouple connections are properly secured
•Flue gas probe is sampling ambient FRESH air
•Water trap is fitted correctly to the instrument
•Flue temperature plug is connected
•Ensure water trap plug is inserted correctly
WARNING!
Turning the pump off while the probe is in the flue will leave toxic gases
inside the analyzer. Once data has been printed or copied, it is advisable
to purge the unit with fresh air as soon as possible. To do this remove the
probe from the flue and turn ON pump. Always allow the readings to return
to zero (20.9% for O2) prior to shutting the unit off. The meter will not switch
off until the CO reading is below 20 ppm.
WARNING!
The probe will be hot from flue gases. Remove the probe from the flue and
allow it to cool naturally. Do not immerse the probe in water, as this will be
drawn into the analyzer and damage the pump and sensors.
NOTE: Take care when
inserting the temperature
probes as the pins are
polarized. Insert with the
smaller pin (+) to the right.

• Remove the protective rubber boot
• Slide the water trap unit from the analyzer
• Remove the particle filter from its’ spigot and replace
• Slide the water trap back into position and replace protective rubber boot
• Remove the rubber plug
• Allow the water to drain out
• Re-insert the rubber plug
FRESH AIR PURGE
Each time the analyzer is turned on it will perform a 60 second air purge, this is to clear
the gas sampling path (including probe, if connected), and self calibrate the CO2
detection system. For these reasons it is very important that the analyzer be in outside
fresh air when powered on.
WARNING
When in the Rotary Dial positions O2/Eff; Press the Up or Down Buttons, scroll to CO2
Zero. On the Purge option, short press the Edit Button, and a 60 second Purge will begin.

EMPTYING & CLEANING THE IN-LINE WATER TRAP
CHANGING THE PARTICLE FILTER
QUICK START
Turn on the analyzer by pressing the On/Off Button for 2 seconds until the unit activates. As described the analyzer will perform a 60
second turn on purge. Once completed simply select the reading desired by the position of the rotary dial.
MEASURING FLUE GASES
After the initial countdown is finished and the analyzer is properly setup, put its’ flue probe in the appliance’s sampling point. The tip of
the probe should be at the center of the flue. Use the flue probes depth stop cone to set the position.
With balanced flues, make sure the probe is positioned into the flue so no air can “back flush” into the probe.
NOTE: Ensure the flue probe handle does not get hot!

STORED LOGS MEMORY
The C160 utilizes a shared memory system much like a computer hard drive. The different Log types are stored sequentially until the
shared memory area is full. This means the log types are not restricted to a smaller number of memory locations as the full memory
capacity is available as required for Logs of any type.
To view the current memory usage status simply navigate to menu -----> LOGS, press the button to select the Log desired.

POWERING OFF
When you power off the C160, there is a 10 second purge.
Make sure you do not exceed the analyzer’s operating specifications. In particular:
• Do not exceed the flue probes maximum temperature (1112˚F, dependent on flue probe used)
• Do not exceed the analyzer’s internal temperature range
• Do not put the analyzer on a hot surface
• Do not exceed the water trap’s level
• Do not let the particle filter become dirty and blocked
View the displayed data to ensure that the stable operating conditions have been achieved and the readings are within the expected
range.
POST TEST
Remove the probe from the flue and allow analyzer to purge with fresh air
until readings return to zero. O2to 20.9%, CO to Zero (Be careful the probe
tip will be HOT).
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
•Re-certify your instrument annually to ensure it meets original performance specifications.
PERIODIC SERVICE
WARNING
Repair and service of this instrument is to be performed by qualified personnel only. Improper repair or service could
result in physical degradation of the instrument. This could alter the protection from personal injury this meter provides
to the operator. Perform only those maintenance tasks that you are qualified to do.
•Keep your instrument dry. If it gets wet, wipe dry immediately. Liquids can degrade electronic circuits.
•Whenever practical, keep the instrument away from dust and dirt that can cause premature wear.
•Although your instrument is built to withstand the rigors of daily use, it can be damaged by severe impacts. Use reasonable
caution when using and storing the meter.
COLD WEATHER PRECAUTIONS
It is important you keep your flue gas analyzer in a warm and dry place overnight
Electronic devices that become really cold, by being left in a vehicle overnight, suffer when taken into a warm room the next
morning. Condensation may form which can affect the analyzer’s performance & cause permanent damage. See operating and storage
temperature specifications.
Electrochemical sensors used in flue gas analyzers can be affected by condensation or water being sucked into the analyzer, as the
small apertures on top of sensors can become blocked with water, stopping sensors seeing flue gas. When this happens, oxygen or
carbon dioxide reading will display as “—” & sensors may be permanently damaged
If you think that your analyzer is affected by condensation or water ingress, it may be possible to rectify the problem yourself. Simply
leave the analyzer running in a warm place, with the pump ‘ON’ sampling fresh air for a few hours (use mains adapter/battery charger if
needed). If, after doing this, you still experience problems please contact our Service Center.
