CAUTION: This analyzer is not intended to be used on a continuous basis.
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.
To prevent soot intake and a clogged filter, a smoke test should be performed before operating under such conditions. This ensures that the furnace or boiler is burning at a level appropriate for the use of this instrument.
When the CO
2
level exceeds the allowable threshold, a warning will prompt the user to consider performing a smoke test. This screen is cleared by pressing the ENTER button. Once the warning is cleared, it will not be displayed again for that particular test. If a new test is started (by pressing the HOLD button), the warning will be displayed again if the limit has been exceeded.

Example Forced Air Furnace
Operation
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.

The instrument operator is able to easily replace the following components without the use of tools:
• probe assembly
• probe filters
• batteries
• printer paper.
Additionally, a technician, with the use of readily available hand tools and factory-provided instructions, can:
• perform basic diagnostics

Pressure Sensor Calibration Procedure
Plus Manual
1 Assemble the pressure sensor calibration equipment as shown above, but DO
NOT connect the analyzer to the calibration equipment at this time.
2 If not already done, power ON the analyzer and display the CALIBRATION
menu. Note that this requires password validation (see page 51).
3 Use the UP () and DOWN () arrow buttons to select PRESSURE and then press ENTER to display the CALIBRATE PRESSURE screen.
82
"Measured" is the pressure value currently being detected by the pressure sensor, while "Applied” is a known value of pressure that will be applied for calibration purposes.
4 With both the -ΔP and +ΔP ports open to the atmosphere, observe that the current Measured pressure reading should be 0.00 ± 0.01 inwc. If necessary, zero the pressure sensor (Menu → Pressure → Zero) then repeat steps 2 through 4).
5 Connect the hose from the manometer to the +ΔP port and apply a negative pressure to this port by adjusting the bellows for a manometer reading of
-4.00 (negative 4.00). Other units are shown below.
