Section 1. Overview

1.1. Introduction

Thank you for investing in a Bacharach Fyrite INSIGHT Plus combustion
analyzer. To assure proper use and operator safety, please read the contents of
this manual for important information on the operation and maintenance of
the analyzer.

1.2. Conventions

WARNING:

associated with the use of this equipment. Failure to follow this
information could result in serious personal injury or death.

CAUTION: A caution statement indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate

unsafe practices.

IMPORTANT: An important statement provides emphasis of an
important feat
information could void your warranty
operation, or cause equipment damage.

NOTE: A note statement provides emphasis of a feature,
operation, practice, etc.

1.3. Safety

WARNING: This analyzer is not intended to be used as a safety
device.

WARNING: When testing an appliance, a full visual inspection of
the appliance should be performed to ensure its safe operation.

continuous basis.

CAUTION: Do not store instrument or its sensors with solvents or
products that contain solvents.

CAUTION: Except for sensor and battery replacement

Bacharach personnel. Failure to comply may void the warranty.

HAZARDOUS AREA WARNING:

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

level exceeds the allowable threshold, a warning

2

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.

1.5. North American (NA) vs. Siegert (S) Combustion Equations

Though the combustion process is fairly standardized across the globe, a
combustion analyzer intended for worldwide use demands a degree of
flexibility for a few regional preferences. The Fyrite
North American (NA) configuration and a Siegert (S) configuration (see page 50)
to address these and other needs, which are contrasted below.

NOTE: Detailed differences between North American and Siegert
configurations are noted where appropriate in this manual.

Section 2. Setup

2.1. Connecting the Probe and Thermocouple

A rigid stainless steel probe with handle is connected to a flexible hose with an
integral water-trap / filter used to draw a gas sample into the analyzer from the
room, grills, diffusers, and furnace flues. Refer to page 6.

1. Inspect the sample gas hose for cracks. If a hose is defective, replace the

entire probe assembly.

2. Before using the analyzer, check that the Water Trap / Filter is clean and

dry. If necessary, dry out the trap and replace the filter element (see page

76).

3. Push the probe’s sample gas hose onto the GAS inlet connector.

4. Push the probe’s draft hose (+ ∆P) onto the “+” pressure connector.

5. Push the probe’s thermocouple into the T-STACK connector on the

instrument, noting its orientation.

IMPORTANT: The T-STACK connector tabs are keyed to fit
into the connector in only one orientation. DO NOT force the
thermocouple connector tabs into the T-STACK connector.

6. Push the optional ambient/primary-air thermocouple into the T-AIR

connector.
