1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 The Fyrite Tech
Available in two models, the Fyrite Tech 50 and 60 are hand-held ana-
lyzers that are designed to calculate the efciency of residential furnaces
and combustion appliances by measuring the stack temperature and the
percent oxygen level in the ue-gas stream.
While both analyzers are capable of combustion testing, the Fyrite Tech 60 has the added capability of measuring carbon monoxide and calculating CO air-free, and also has the capability of sending combustion test data to an optional printer via an infrared port using either HP or IrDA protocol.

1.2 Operation Overview
Pressing the I/O button turns the analyzer ON. Note that there is a 60 sec­ond warm-up period which must elapse before the analyzer can be used.
After warm-up is complete, choose the fuel code that corresponds to the fuel being burned by the appliance being tested. Then press the ENTER button to place the analyzer into its Run Mode and begin the combustion testing process.
Begin testing by inserting the analyzer’s probe tube into the ug-gas
stream of the appliance under test. Each analyzer model will continuously
monitor the ue gas and display measured and calculated values that
are relative to the combustion process. These values are displayed on the analyzer’s LCD, and are chosen for display by pressing the Increment () and Decrement () buttons.
The Fyrite Tech 60 has the capability of sending the current combustion test to an optional printer by pressing the HOLD button twice.
Pressing the HOLD button during a test will freeze all measured and calculated values at their current values. Pressing the ENTER button resumes testing.
A backlight enables an operator to read the display in dimly-lit areas. Pressing the LIGHT button turns the backlight ON and OFF. The backlight will automatically turn OFF after 10 minutes of keyboard inactivity.
A power-saver function will shut the analyzer OFF after 20 minutes of keyboard inactivity. Note, however, that the power-saver function is dis­abled if the detected O2 value is less than 17.9% or the CO value is more than 50 ppm.
Press the I/O button to turn the analyzer OFF. Note, that there is a 5 sec­ond delay before the analyzer actually turns OFF, during which time the unit can be kept ON by pressing the ENTER button.
If the analyzer is turned OFF while a high level of CO is still present within the unit, the pump remains running and the unit will not turn OFF until the detected CO level drops below 50 ppm.

4.0 OPERATION
4.1 Performing a Test
4.1.1 Analyzer Turn On and Warm Up
Important: The probe must be at room temperature before performing the following steps. The temperature measured by the probe during warm up is the combustion-air tempera-
ture used by the analyzer for efciency calculation purposes.
1. Make sure that the analyzer is properly set up per Section 3.0.
2. During warm-up, the analyzer’s probe must be located in the area containing the burner’s combustion-air supply. If the burner is us­ing room air, simply place the probe within the room. In the case
of a high-efciency furnace where combustion air is drawn in from
an outside source, place the probe within that area with the burner operating. After the probe is properly positioned, turn ON the ana­lyzer by pressing its I/O button.
3. Wait for the analyzer to complete its 60 second warm-up period; after which, the Fuel Screen is displayed. If errors were detected during warm-up, the Sensor Error Screen will be displayed. If this occurs, refer to Section 4.8.9 to correct the cause of the error.
4.1.2 Selecting a Fuel
1. With Fuel Screen displayed, use the or button to step through the fuel codes until the proper fuel is selected. The analyzer de­faults to the most recently selected fuel.
F1 = Natural Gas F3 = LPG F2 = Oil #2 F4 = Kerosene
2. Press the ENTER button to select the displayed fuel code;after which, the analyzer enters the Run Mode.
4.1.3 Manual Zero of the CO Channel (Model 60 only)
If the CO channel is set up for manual calibration (refer to Section 3.5.3), and if the CO reading shows a value other than zero in fresh air, then be­fore proceeding with a test manually zero the CO channel per Section 5.5.
Instruction 24-9435

Fyrite Tech
4.1.4 Sampling Point
Forced Air Furnace – When testing 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 ue gas sample, before any dilution air is mixed in.
Hot Water Tank – Domestic hot water tanks with the ‘bell’ shaped draft diverter on top can be accurately tested by inserting the probe tip directly
into the top of the re tube below the diverter.
80% Efciency Fan Assist or Power Vented – 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.
90% Efciency Condensing – Condensing furnaces/boilers can be tested through a hole drilled in the plastic vent pipe (when allowed by the manufac-
turer or local authority of jurisdiction) or taken from the exhaust termination.
Atmospheric or Gravity Vented Boiler – Boilers, which have a ‘bell’ shaped draft diverter directly on top, should be tested directly below the diverter through a hole drilled in the vent connector.

4.1.5 Performing a Combustion Efciency Test
1. After turning ON the analyzer and selecting the appropriate fuel, press the and button until the Stack Temperature & Efciency Screen (refer to Section 4.8.7) is displayed.
2. Position the probe in the ue-gas stream to obtain the hottest
"STACK" reading. Locating the highest stack temperature is very
important for accurate efciency calculations.
3. You can now begin burner-service procedures. Use and but­tons during a test to scroll through the analyzer’s other display screens (refer to Section 4.7). The analyzer readings will update continuously showing changes in burner performance.
4. Pressing the HOLD button freezes all readings and stops the pump. The and buttons can now be used to scroll through the dis­plays and view all test values at the moment the HOLD button was pressed. Pressing ENTER restarts the pump and resumes testing.
4.1.6 Printing Test Results (Model 60 only)
During a combustion efciency test, the current test results can be sent to
a printer as follows:
1. Turn ON printer.
TIP: Refer to the printer's instruction manual for detailed operating
information. If not already done, set up the printer for 9600 baud, DTR handshaking, and the same protocol as the analyzer (HP or IrDA). Refer to Section 3.5.7 Selecting Printer Protocol.
2. Align the printer with the top of the analyzer as shown in Figure 4-1.
3. Begin printing by doing one of the following:
- If the pump is running, press the HOLD button twice.
- If the display has been previously frozen by pressing the HOLD button, press the HOLD button only once.

4.1.7 Ending a Combustion Test
WARNING! Burn Hazard. Do not touch the probe after removing it from the stack. Allow the probe to cool before handling (about 5 minutes).
1. Remove probe from ue-gas stream.
2. Allow the pump to run until all combustion gases are ushed from
the analyzer as indicated by the O2 reading returning to 20.9%.
4.1.8 Turning OFF the Analyzer
After the analyzer has been purged with fresh air, turn it OFF by pressing the I/O button. The unit will count down from 5 before turning OFF. Press­ing the ENTER button, however, will stop the count down and keep the analyzer turned ON.
4.2 CO Purge During Turn OFF (Model 60 only)
If the detected CO level is above 50 ppm when the analyzer is turned OFF, the unit will remain ON with its pump running and display "PurG CO." The countdown from 5 will not begin until the CO level drops below 50 ppm.
Although not recommended for everyday use, the purging process can be bypassed by pressing the I/O button a second time.

4.3 Operating Tips
• When an analyzer is brought in from a cold vehicle, let it warm up slowly to minimize condensation. Temperatures below freezing will not dam­age the analyzer; however, bringing a cold analyzer into a warm humid environment may cause condensate to form inside the case.
• If the CO channel (Fyrite Tech 60) is set up for Auto Zero (refer to Sec­tion 3.5.3), ensure that the analyzer is sampling fresh air when turned
ON. Pulling a ue-gas sample through the analyzer during its warm-up
period will not damage the analyzer, but it will result in incorrect CO readings. Also note that a CO sensor error will occur if the detected CO level is above 50 ppm during warm-up.
• For analyzers that are used to measure ue-gas, note that ue-gas
condensate is acidic and very corrosive. It is important not to allow the analyzer's internal components to become soaked in condensate for long periods of time.
• Before each use, inspect the lter element of the water trap / lter assem­bly. Replace the lter if it looks dirty.
• When sampling ue-gas, keep the analyzer above the water-trap, and
keep the trap in a vertical position. This will maximize the effectiveness of the trap and keep liquid condensate from being drawn directly into the analyzer.
• When liquid condensate is seen inside the water trap, empty the trap before it becomes full. Refer to Section 5.6.
• It is recommended that the analyzer be purged after taking a ue-gas
measurement before turning it OFF. Once the probe is removed from the stack, disconnect the hose assembly from the bottom of the analyzer and let the pump run for 10 minutes or so to completely remove any remain-
ing ue gases and dry any condensate from inside the sensor chamber.
• When storing the analyzer, it's a good idea to empty the water trap and leave it open to further dry it out.
• Calibrate the analyzer every 6 months to ensure its accuracy.

4.8.9 Sensor Error Screen
An O2 sensor error is displayed if the analyzer determines during the warm-up cycle that the oxygen sensor’s output is too low for it to be usable. However, in the extreme condition when the O2 sensor has no output, a sen- sor error will not occur. Instead, the O2 reading will be 0.0 as displayed in the O2 Screen (Model 50) or the CO & O2 Screen (Model 60).
When the CO channel (Model 60 only) is set up for Auto Zero (refer to Section 3.5.3), a CO sensor error will occur if the detected carbon monox­ide level is above 50 ppm during the warm-up cycle. Note that if the CO channel is set up for manual calibration, the analyzer does not auto-zero the CO sensor during warm-up, and thus does not generate a CO sensor error when the analyzer is turned ON in an atmosphere containing a high background level of CO.
Do the following before replacing a suspected spent or defective sensor:
1. Turn OFF the analyzer and turn it back ON in an area of fresh air (containing 20.9% O2 and no CO).
2. Perform the Oxygen Sensor Zero procedure (Section 5.4) and, if ap­plicable, the CO Sensor Zero & Calibration procedure (Section 5.5).
3. If Steps 1 & 2 do not eliminate the error condition, replace sensor(s) (refer to Sections 5.7 or 5.8).
