KANE255 OVERVIEW
The KANE255 Combustion Analyser measures carbon dioxide (CO2),
carbon monoxide (CO) and Flue temperature.
It calculates oxygen (O2), CO/CO2, ratio, losses, combustion efficiency
(Nett, Gross or Condensing) and excess air.
In addition the KANE255 Combustion Analyser’s CO sensor checks CO
levels in ambient air - useful when a CO Alarm is triggered.
The CO reading can be referenced to the oxygen reading in ppm or
mg/m3.
The analyser has a protective rubber cover with integral magnet for
“hands-free” operation and is supplied with a flue probe with integral
temperature sensor.
The large display shows 2 readings at a time and all data can be printed
via an optional infrared printer. The printed data can be 'live' data, 'frozen
data' or stored data. 20 sets of tests can be stored. Two lines of 16
characters can be added to the header of printouts.
The KANE255 combustion analyser is controlled using 4 buttons and a
rotary dial.
The four buttons (from left to right) the power button, switch on and off
the backlight and “freeze” or hold data, switch on and off the pump,
SEND button, to print live readings, if the SEND button is held for 2
seconds the data is stored in the memory, a log number will be briefly
displayed. The buttons with UP, DOWN and ENTER arrows also change
settings such as date, time, fuel source and AUX page settings.
The rotary dial changes the displayed data and selects access to the
menu to make changes to the date, time, etc.

1. BATTERIES
Battery Type
The analyser has been designed for use with disposable alkaline
batteries or rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries. No other
battery types are recommended.
WARNING
The battery charger unit must only be used when NIMH batteries are
fitted. Do not mix NiMH battery cells of different capacities or from
different manufacturers. All four battery cells must be Identical.
Replacing Batteries
Turn over the analyser, remove its protective rubber cover followed by
the battery cover and fit 4 “AA” batteries in the battery compartment.
Take great care to ensure that they are fitted with the correct battery
polarity. Replace the battery cover and the protective rubber cover.
Switch the analyser on and check that the analyser’s date and time are
correct. To reset the date and time, see using the MENU section.
Charging NiMH batteries
Ensure that you use the correct charger. Part number 19278
To fully charge NiMH batteries:
Switch the KANE255 on. The charger should be connected and switched
on. When charging the red Battery charging indicator will illuminate.
Switch the KANE255 off. The display will show BATTERY and a battery
symbol.
The first charge should be for 12 hours continuously. NiMH are suitable
for top up charging at any time even for short periods.
Battery Disposal
Always dispose of depleted batteries using approved disposal methods
that protect the environment.

2. BEFORE USING THE ANALYSER EVERY TIME:
Check the water trap is empty and the particle filter is not dirty:
To empty water trap, unscrew the red screw plug and re-tighten once it is
empty.
To change the filter, remove protective rubber cover, pull out the water
trap unit from the analyser, remove the water trap’s particle filter from its’
spigot and replace. Reconnect the water trap and protective rubber
cover.
Connect the flue probe hose to the analyser’s flue gas inlet and connect
the flue probe’s temperature connector to the T1 socket – check the
plug’s orientation is correct otherwise incorrect temperature
measurements will occur.
After switch on, check fuel source, date and time are correct and battery
power is sufficient.
3. FRESH AIR PURGE
Position the flue probe in fresh air, then press ON/OFF. The analyser’s
pump starts and the analyser auto calibrates for approximately 75
seconds.
Using the rotary dial select CO2 & CO. In fresh air both COppm and
CO2% reading should be zero.
4. STATUS DISPLAY
Select the “Status” position on the dial to view Battery Status and
Calibration Due Date.

5. SAFETY WARNING
This analyser extracts combustion gases that may be toxic in relatively
low concentrations. These gases are exhausted from the back of the
instrument. This meter must only be used in well-ventilated locations
by trained and competent persons after due consideration of all the
potential hazards.
Sensor manufacturers recommend users of portable gas detectors
containing electrochemical 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).
6. USING THE FOUR FUNCTION BUTTONS:
Switching ON the Analyser:
Press the ON/OFF button to switch the analyser ON. This must be done
in fresh air, to ensure the analyser auto calibrates its sensors correctly.
When switched on the analyser bleeps and displays the battery %, date,
time, fuel and model number. The second line of the display counts down
from 75 until the sensors are ready to use. If the analyser will not auto
calibrate! Its sensors need to be replaced or recalibrated by Kane
authorised repair centre.
If the flue probe is connected to the analyser during the countdown the
measure temperature will be used as the inlet temperature (Ti).
If the flue probe is NOT connected during the count down then the
analysers internal ambient temperature will be used as the inlet
temperature (Ti).

Switching off the Analyser:
Press the ON/OFF button to switch the analyser OFF. The display counts
down from 29 with the pump on to clear the sensors with fresh air – if the
flue probe is still connected, make sure the analyser and probe are in
fresh air.
Press the SEND/PRINT button to abort the off count down and return to
making measurements.
Note: The analyser will not switch off unless the CO reading is below
40ppm.
Backlight & Data Freeze:
Press the backlight button for 1 second to freeze the current data on the
screen. Press the backlight button for a 1 second to disable the freeze
function.
Press the backlight button for 2 seconds to switch on the analysers
display backlight. Press the backlight button for 2 seconds to disable the
backlight.
NOTE: Use of the backlight significantly increases the current drain
on the batteries.
Switching the PUMP on / off
The analyser operates normally with the pump on.
Press the PUMP button to witch the pump off and on
When the pump is switched off “–PO-“ replaces the readings on the top
line of the display. The analyser also displays “PUMP OFF” on the top
line approximately every 40 seconds
NOTE: The pump will not switch off if the CO reading is above 40ppm.
This helps to protect the CO sensor from damage.
The pump automatically switches itself off when the rotary dial is set to
Menu, Status and Temp if the CO value is less than 40ppm.
