1.2 Fyrite® INSIGHT Features & Benefi ts
AUTOMATIC ZERO - The instrument will automatically zero all sensing
channels on ambient air when it is powered on. If a particular sensor is in
error during warm-up, the instrument will automatically display the error
and continue to operate with the sensor in error. However, all information
dependent on the sensor in error will not be presented.
TEMPERATURE UNITS - Temperatures can be displayed in Centigrade
or Fahrenheit.
PRESSURE UNITS - Pressures can be displayed in milliBar (mB),
Pascal (Pa), hectoPascal (hPa), Millimeters of Water Column (mmwc), or
Inches of Water Column (inwc).
LANGUAGE - The display options are English, French or Spanish.

MEMORY - The Fyrite
play, and print a minimum of 100 sets of time and date coded combustion,
differential pressure, or differential temperature test records.
DOWNLOAD - Test records can be downloaded to a personal computer via
the USB port. Saved records are transferred using PC based software and
will be automatically loaded into an Excel spreadsheet. PC based software
will also have the capability to update the instrument time and date and
upload custom fuels, username, customer logo, and future code updates.
The INSIGHT can also be set up from PC software.
USER INFORMATION - The instrument will accept up to three lines of
20 characters of user information. This information will appear with the
test records when they are printed or downloaded.
INSIGHT has the ability to store, recall to dis-
DISPL AY ZOOM - Combustion test data in the Run/Hold screens can be
shown with enlarged characters to make viewing easier. The complete
list of Run/Hold data can be scrolled through for all zoom levels. Available
zoom levels and information display are as follows:
• Standard - 4 lines of information
• 2X - 3 lines of enlarged characters
• 3X - 2 lines of enlarged characters
STATUS - A status menu displays the instrument software version, boot
version, model number, and serial number.
DIAGNOSTIC S - The diagnostics menu displays the O2 sensor life, CO
sensor information, and hours of operation for the instrument and the
pump.
KEYPAD SOUND - Keypad sounds can be enabled or disabled with software menu selections.
LOW BATTERY - A tone will sound every 10 seconds when a low battery
condition exists. A low battery message will also be displayed.
AUTOM ATIC POW ER DOWN - The instrument can be set to automatically power off after a period of inactivity unless the user presses any button; the CO is greater than 50 ppm, or the O2 is less than 16.0%. Automatic power down can be set for None, 30, or 60 minutes.
PURGE - The sensors will be purged when the instrument is shutdown
until sensor outputs indicate that they have been exposed to fresh air.
Pressing the On/Off key a seconds time can defeat the purge routine. The
minimum purge time can be set to None, 5 seconds, 1 , 5, or 10 minutes.
CALI BRATION - Calibration can be performed by applying gas and entering calibration gas concentrations through software menu selections.
SMART SENSORS - B-Smart sensor technology is employed for the CO
channel. CO sensors are calibrated prior to shipment and provide data that
can be entered through the software menu selections for easy calibration
without applying gas.
CALIBRATION REMINDERS - Calibration reminders can be set for
Never, 6, 8, 10, 12, or 15 months.
DISPL AY FORMAT - The Run/Hold display format can be presented in
default or custom ordered for specifi c needs. Up to 8 lines can be custom-
ized in the Run/Hold screen.

Instruction 24-9460
SENSOR ACCESS - Sensor replacement can be accomplished in the fi eld.
Easy access to the O2 and CO sensors is provided through the back of the
instrument.
POWER - The Fyrite
®
INSIGHT is powered by 4 AA alkaline batteries. A
new set of alkaline batteries will provide a minimum of 20 hours of continuous operation with the pump running and the back light on. Optionally, the analyzer can operate with a universal AC adapter. When the AC
adapter is plugged into the unit, batteries do not have to be removed.

1.3 Operational Overview
Pressing the PWR button turns the analyzer ON. Note that there is a
warm-up period of 60 seconds that must elapse before the analyzer can be
used.
To perform a combustion test, choose a fuel code that corresponds to the
fuel being burned by the appliance being tested (Section 4.3), and then
press the RUN/HOLD button to place the analyzer into its Run Mode.
Begin testing by inserting the analyzer’s probe tube into the flue-gas
stream of the appliance under test. The analyzer will monitor the flue
gas and display measured and calculated values that are relative to the
combustion process. These values are dis played on the analyzer’s LCD, and
are chosen for display by pressing the In cre ment (▲) and Dec re ment (▼)
but tons.
Pressing the RUN/HOLD button during a test will freeze all measured and
calculated values at their current levels. Pressing the RUN/HOLD button
again resumes testing.
A backlight enables an operator to read the display in dimly-lit areas.
Pressing the PWR button turns the backlight ON and OFF.
An optional power saver function will shut the analyzer OFF after a set
time period of inactivity. This feature is dis abled if the CO value is greater
than 50 ppm or the O
Press the PWR button for at least two seconds to power 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
RUN/HOLD button. There is a CO purge feature that keeps the analyzer’s
pump running until the measured CO level drops below 50 ppm.

3.0 SETTING UP THE ANALYZER
3.1 Preliminary Steps
Before using the analyzer . . .
• Check batteries (Section 3.2)
• Connect probe to analyzer (Section 3.3)
• Check setup (Section 3.5)
3.2 Power
3.2.1 Installing or Replacing Batteries
Install fresh batteries as described below. Check the analyzer for sufficient
charge prior to each use. Replace the batteries if the low-battery symbol
appears in the upper right corner of the screen. To re place the bat ter ies:
1. Remove battery cover from back of analyzer.
2. If old batteries are installed, remove them and properly discard.
3. Observing the polarity markings inside the battery com part ment,
install four ‘AA’ Al ka line bat ter ies.
4. Replace battery cover.
3.2.2 Using the AC Power Adapter
The optional AC power adapter is capable of powering the analyzer on a
continuous basis. The adapter plugs into an appropriate 100-240 VAC wall
outlet and produces an output of +5 VDC. The adapter's output connector
plugs into the analyzer's POWER jack located on the bottom of the unit.
The batteries do not need to be removed when using the AC adapter.
3.3 Connecting the Probe Hose & Thermocouple
A rigid stainless steel probe with handle is connected to a flexible hose
with integral water-trap / filter used to draw a gas sample into the analyzer from the room, grilles, diffusers, and furnace flues.

INSIGHT
Fyrite® INSIGHT
Inspect the flue-gas hose for cracks. If a hose is defective, replace the entire probe assembly.
Before using the analyzer, check that the Water Trap / Filter is dry and
not dirty. If necessary, dry out the trap and replace the filter el e ment per
Section 6.2.
Perform the following steps to connect the probe assembly to the Fyrite
INSIGHT:
1. Push the probe’s sample-gas hose onto the GAS inlet fitting.
2. Push the probe’s draft hose onto the “+” pressure fitting.
3. Push the probe’s thermocouple into the T-STACK jack
Important: DO NOT force the thermocouple connector into
its jack. The con nec tion tabs are dif fer ent sizes, allowing the
connector to fit in only one way.
4. Push the optional ambient/primary-air thermocouple into the T-AIR
jack.
