Section 1. Overview

1.1. Introduction

Thank you for investing in a Bacharach Fyrite  InTech combustion analyzer.

To assure proper use and operator safety, please read the contents of this manual for important information on the operation and maintenance of the analyzer.

1.2. Conventions

WARNING: A warning statement denotes a potential hazard associated with the use of this equipment. Failure to follow this information could result in serious personal injury or death.

CAUTION: A caution statement indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. Caution statements may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

IMPORTANT: An important statement provides emphasis of an important feature, operation, etc. Failure to follow this information could void your warranty, result in improper operation, or cause equipment damage.

NOTE: A note statement provides emphasis of a feature, operation, practice, etc.

1.3. Safety

WARNING: This analyzer is not intended to be used as a safety device.

WARNING: When testing an appliance, a full visual inspection of the appliance should be performed to ensure its safe operation.

CAUTION: This analyzer is not intended to be used on a continuous basis. www.actoolsupply.com


CAUTION: Do not store instrument or its sensors with solvents or products that contain solvents.

CAUTION: Except for sensor and battery replacement, this analyzer should only be opened and/or serviced by authorized

Bacharach personnel. Failure to comply may void the warranty.

HAZARDOUS AREA WARNING: This instrument has not been designed to be intrinsically safe for use in areas classified as hazardous locations. For your safety, DO NOT use it in hazardous

(classified) locations.

CAUTION: Do not use flammable or combustible substances (like carburetor fluid used for cleaning the probe) near an open flame.

CAUTION: When the instrument is used in an inefficient oil-fueled appliance where there is a high emission of soot, the probe’s sample filter may become clogged. Before every use check the filter to confirm it is clean or replace it with a new filter.

• Example atmospheric/gravity vented boiler www.actoolsupply.com


Example Forced Air Furnace Example Hot Water Tank

For atmospheric burner or gravity vented, forced air heating equipment with a clamshell or sectional heat exchanger design, test each of the exhaust ports at the top of the heat exchanger. The probe should be inserted back into each of the exhaust ports to obtain a flue gas sample, before any dilution air is mixed in.

Domestic hot water tanks with the ‘bell’ shaped draft diverter can be accurately tested by inserting the probe tip directly into the top of the fire tube below the diverter. www.actoolsupply.com


Example 90% Efficiency

Condensing Furnace

Example 80% Efficiency

Fan Assist or Power

Vented Furnace

Example

Atmospheric/Gravity

Vented Boiler

Condensing furnaces/ boilers can be tested through a hole drilled in the plastic vent pipe

(when allowed by the manufacturer or local authority of jurisdiction) or taken from the exhaust termination.

Combustion testing of fan assist or power vented, furnaces/boilers should be done through a hole drilled in the vent immediately above the inducer fan.

Boilers, which have a ‘bell’ shaped draft diverter on top, should be tested directly below the diverter through a hole drilled in the vent connector.

IMPORTANT: Review manufacturer recommendations for the combustion device being tested, and be aware of accepted practices of the local jurisdiction before introducing sampling holes into exhaust pipes or ducts.

CAUTION: To avoid the introduction of dangerous exhaust gases into the space, be sure to completely and securely seal any sampling holes made in the exhaust pipes or ducts. www.actoolsupply.com
