3. Turning On & Off and Charging
3.1 Turning On
Always: - Before turning on please ensure that the Mini Pump Protection
Filter assembly and the Temperature Sampling Probe complete with In-Line
Filter or the Tubing are not connected to the Gas Sample Port (see 2.2 or 2.4)
Press the Power Key and the TPI 712 will start its 30 second countdown
'PURGE' will be displayed: - The instrument should be turned on in a clean air environment as the 30 second purge will set the Carbon Monoxide level to
Zero and the Oxygen to 20.9%.
Ensure that the filters are clean and dry as dirty or wet filters will result in a loss of flow rate and 'Lo Flo' will be displayed to inform you that filters should be changed
During the last 20 seconds of the 30 second purge time the user can scroll through the following Fuels: - Natural Gas, LPG, Light Oil, Heavy Oil by pressing the Up Arrow Key to select the Fuel they are working with. When desired fuel is displayed release the key, displayed fuel is now selected.
After the 30 second countdown the instrument is ready to take Flue,
Temperature, Pressure or Leak Detection readings and will Display Screen 1 from Function 1 as described in The 5 Functions Section (see 4.1.1)
NOTE: When selecting oil as fuel be sure to use the optional oil filter (A733) or readings could become erratic.

• Pressing the Up Arrow Key will scroll through mbar, kPa and inH2O
• Pressing the Down Arrow Key will Zero the Pressure reading
• Pressing the Scroll/Enter Key will toggle the ch2 temperature reading ON and OFF
3.2 Turning Off
Always: - Before turning off return the instrument to a clean air environment and allow the Carbon Monoxide level to return to below 15ppm and the
Oxygen level to return to 20.9% (± 0.3%)
Press the Power Key to turn the instrument off:- NOTE Should you attempt to turn the instrument Off and the CO reading is above 15ppm then the instrument will remain On and a short Beep will be heard. The Instrument can only be switched off if the CO is below 15ppm
The instrument has an auto shut off after 10 minutes should no keys have been pressed for this period and as mentioned above that the CO is below
15ppm. Should the CO be above 15ppm then the 10 minute auto shut off countdown will not begin till the CO has gone below 15ppm
3.3 Charging
Plug the Charger supplied into the charger socket on the instrument (see
2.4). If the instrument is turned on then a charging symbol will be displayed.
Should the instrument then be turned off, turn off automatically or be turned off when the charger is plugged in then the charging symbol will not be displayed BUT the instrument will still be charging.
The instrument should be charged overnight for a period of 10 to 12 hours and will give over 6 hours Operating Time.
Alternatively, the instrument can be used when plugged into the charger.
4. THE 4 FUNCTIONS
You can move through the following functions by pressing Func/Backlight.
At any time you can activate the Backlight by holding down the
Func/Backlight Key for 2 seconds. The backlight will automatically shut off after 20 seconds to preserve battery life.
4.1 Function 1: - Flue Gas Analysis
Ensure you have connected the Mini Pump Protection Filter assembly and
Temperature Sampling Probe complete with In-Line Filter to the Gas Sample
Port (see 2.2 or 2.4) and the 'K' Type Thermocouple Plug into Thermocouple
(T1) Socket (see 2.4). The GK11M ambient air temperature probe must be connected to the (T2) socket. (refer to figure below for correct hookup)
