KANE425 Overview
The KANE425 Combustion Analyser measures O
2,
CO, differential temperature
and differential pressure.
It calculates CO
2
, CO/CO
2
ratio, losses, combustion efficiency (Nett, Gross or
Condensing) & excess air.
The KANE425 Combustion Analyser can measure carbon monoxide levels in
ambient air - useful when a CO Alarm is triggered. It can also perform a 15
minute duration Room CO Test.
The analyser has a protective rubber sleeve with a magnet for “hands–free”
operation and is supplied with a flue probe with integral temperature sensor.
The large display shows 4 readings at a time and all data can be printed via an
optional infrared printer. The printed data can be 'live' data or ‘stored’ data.
The memory can store up to:
99 combustion tests
20 pressure tests
20 let-by/tightness tests
20 temperature tests
20 room CO tests
Two lines of 20 characters can be added to the header of printouts.
The analyser is controlled using 4 function buttons and a rotary dial.
The four buttons (from left to right) switch on and off the analyser, switch on
and off the backlight and torch light, switch on and off the pump and send data
to a printer or to the memory. The buttons with UP, DOWN and ENTER arrows
also change settings such as date, time, fuel, etc. when in MENU mode.

1. BATTERIES
Battery Type
This 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.
Replacing Batteries
Turn over the analyser, remove its’ protective rubber sleeve and fit 4 “AA”
batteries in the battery compartment. Take great care to ensure they are fitted
with the correct battery polarity. Replace the battery cover and protective
rubber sleeve.
Switch the analyser on and select “Status” to check that the analyser’s time and
date are correct. To reset see USING THE MENU, Section 5.
Charging NiMH Batteries
Ensure that you use the correct charger. The part number is KMCU250/UK.
To fully charge NiMH batteries:
The KANE425 must be switched on.
The charger must then be connected and switched on.
When charging the red Battery Charging Indicator will illuminate.
When the KANE425 is switched off the display will show “BATTERY
CHARGING”
The first charge should be for 12 hours continuously. NiMH batteries are
suitable for top up charging at any time, even for shorts periods.
An in-vehicle charger can be used to top up the analyser's batteries from a 12
volt vehicle battery. The part number is KMCU450/12
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, carefully pull out the rubber drain plug and re-plug
once it is empty.
- To change the particle filter, remove the analyser’s protective rubber
sleeve, slide the water trap unit from the analyser, remove the particle
filter from its’ spigot and replace. Reconnect the water trap unit and
rubber protective sleeve.
Connect the flue probe hose to the analyser’s flue gas inlet and connect the flue
probe’s temperature plug to the T1 socket – check the plug’s orientation is
correct - see Page 6.
2.1 FRESH AIR PURGE
Position the flue probe in fresh air, then press . The analyser’s pump
starts and the analyser auto-calibrates for approximately 30 seconds. When
complete:
Select “Ratio” on the dial. In fresh air the CO reading should be 0 ppm.
Select “O
2
/Eff” on the dial. In fresh air the O
2
reading should be 20.9% +0.1%
2.2 STATUS DISPLAY
Select “Status” on the dial to view the following:
BAT 39
→Replace alkaline batteries if less than 10%
Recharge NiMH batteries if less than 20%
14:56:29 →Current time. Can be re-set via the “Menu”.
11/03/06 →Current date. Can be re-set via the “Menu”.
CAL 283
→Shows number of days until next calibration
is due.

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
analyser must only be used in well-ventilated locations by trained and
competent persons after due consideration of all the potential hazards.
KANE425 manual Page 10
3. USING THE FOUR FUNCTION BUTTONS:
Switching
ON the
Analyser
Press button to switch the unit ON . This must be done
in fresh air to ensure that the analyser auto calibrates its’
sensors properly.
When switched on, the analyser beeps twice and briefly
displays battery %, fuel and pressure units. Its’ bottom line
counts down from 60 until the sensors are ready to use – This
normally takes 20 - 30 seconds but may take longer as sensors
get older. If the analyser will not auto calibrate, its’ sensors
need to be replaced or recalibrated by an authorised repair
centre.
If an inlet temperature probe (optional) is connected into the T2
socket during its’ countdown, the measured temperature from
the inlet probe will be used as the inlet temperature.
If an inlet temperature probe is not connected to the analyser
during countdown the measured temperature from the flue
probe will be used as the inlet temperature.
If neither probe is connected during countdown the analyser’s
internal ambient temperature will be used as the inlet
temperature.
Switching
OFF the
Analyser
Press button to switch the analyser OFF. The display
counts down from 30 with the pump on to clean the sensors
with fresh air – If the probe is still connected, make sure
analyser and probe are in fresh air.
Press if you want to stop the countdown and return to
making measurements.
Note: The analyser will not switch off unless the CO
reading is below 20ppm
