The CO Protect feature protects the CO sensor from
the negative effects of being overloaded with CO gas.
Such negative effects include:
lifespan is a function of its exposure to the target gas
(CO in this case). Though the CO sensor is designed to
be used in combustion environments having a fairly
wide range of CO gas present, limiting unnecessary
overexposure to CO gas can greatly increase the life
expectancy of the CO sensor. In addition, it can
shorten sensor recovery time after exposure.
The Protect CO feature sets a protection threshold

5.8.2. CO Manual Zero Procedure
The CO zeroing process is done automatically during warmup or manually using
the manual zero feature. To perform a manual zero, follow the steps below. If
your instrument is configured for CO auto mode, skip this CO manual zero
procedure and go to the CO Sensor Span procedure that follows.
Step Manual CO Zero Procedure
1 If not already done, turn ON the analyzer and display the Main Menu screen.
2 Use the UP () and DOWN () arrow buttons to select the SETUP menu and
press ENTER.
3 From the Setup Menu, use the UP () and DOWN () arrow buttons to
select the CO Zero Setting parameter then press ENTER.
4 From the CO Zero Setting screen, use the DOWN () arrow button to select
the Manual Zero option then press ENTER. A reminder screen to place the
instrument in fresh air is displayed.
5 Press ENTER and wait for the manual zero to complete.

5.8.3. CO Sensor Span Procedure
Step CO Span Procedure
1 From the Calibration Menu, use the UP () and DOWN () arrow buttons to
highlight CO, and then press ENTER to display the CALIBRATE CO screen.
Note that this requires password validation (see page 55).
“Measured” is the current CO reading, while “Applied” is a known CO level
that will be applied for calibration purposes.
2 Use the UP (), DOWN (), LEFT (), and RIGHT () arrow buttons to enter
an Applied value that exactly equals the concentration stamped on the CO
cylinder.
NOTE: Bacharach recommends using a 500 ppm calibration gas,
however the calibration range is from 20 to 1,000 ppm. An
attempt to calibrate outside this range will cause the message
“Applied Value High” (or Low) to appear at the bottom of the
screen.
3 Attach a 500 ppm CO cylinder to the regulator and connect calibration kit
components as shown below. Apply 500 ppm carbon monoxide in an air
balance calibration gas.
4 Wait until the Measured reading stabilizes and then press ENTER. The
message “Good Calibration” should briefly appear.
If the sensor’s output is low, but still usable, then the message “Good
Calibration WARNING Low Sensor” will appear. The sensor will now be
marked as being Low in the Warm up screen.
If the sensor’s output is too low to be usable, then the message “Bad
Calibration Sensor End of Life, Entry Not Saved” will appear.
Bad Sensor O2 O2 sensor output is too low and is not usable.
Low Sensor CO CO sensor output was low but still usable. Sensor may need to be
Low Battery Battery voltage is low. Replace the batteries.

An attempt was made to calibrate a sensor outside its range—
either above (High) or below (Low) the acceptable range.
• CO sensor was not zeroed at warmup because of high output.
Run instrument on fresh air then restart instrument to re-zero
sensor. If the message persists, the CO sensor may need to be
replaced.
• Stack or Air temperature sensors are measuring temperature
outside the range of -4° to 212° F at warmup. Make sure that
the Stack and Air thermocouples are sampling ambient room
air within the temperature range at warmup.
• The Fyrite
INSIGHT Plus was turned on with the probe
sampling flue gas. Move the probe to fresh air and restart the
instrument.
• Messages will indicate which sensors are in error.
Set Clock Time and date values need to be set in the instrument.
NOTE: If a “set clock” message occurs, then the
instrument ignores CO calibration reminder
messages and all O
“Bad Sensor.”
Cal Reminder
## months
The calibration reminder occurs during warmup and is based on
the CO calibration reminder setting (see page 47), the current
date setting (see 36), and the date of the last calibration of the
CO sensor.
X X X Occurs in the number fields of sensors that have achieved over-
range condition.
* * * Occurs in the number fields of sensors. Replaces in-error sensor
values and any calculated values that depend on those sensor
values.
- - - Occurs in the number fields of sensors and indicates that values
were not calculated.
NOTE: If a particular sensor is in error during warmup, the instrument
automatically displays the error. The instrument continues to operate
with the sensor in error, however information dependent on the sensor in
error is not displayed.
