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.

the atmosphere. If necessary, zero the pressure sensor as follows:
• Press the ZERO (F2) button.
• Disconnect any hoses connected to the +ΔP and -ΔP ports, and then
press ENTER to zero the pressure sensor.
• Reconnect any hoses. When measuring draft, leave the -ΔP port
open to the atmosphere and connect the probe's draft hose to the
+ΔP port.
5 Do one of the following to measure draft or differential pressure:
• To measure draft, insert the probe into the stack and observe the
draft reading on the PRESSURE screen.
• To measure differential pressure, connect sampling hoses to the +ΔP
and -ΔP ports, and place the ends of the hoses into the two areas
being compared. The differential pressure between the two areas is
now displayed on the PRESSURE screen. If the pressure at the +ΔP
port is higher than the -ΔP port, the pressure reading will be positive.
If it is lower, the reading will be negative.

5.1. Serviceability
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
• replace sensors
• confirm proper operation
before putting the unit back into service. Field calibration is also possible with
the proper equipment. Refer to the calibration section starting on page 81 for
more information.
5.2. Cleaning the Probe
The probe tube and gas sample hose will become dirty under normal use.
NOTE: The water trap’s filter element should prevent soot from
reaching the analyzer’s internal components. If the probe is not
kept clean, it could become clogged and restrict the flow of gas
into the analyzer, resulting in incorrect combustion test readings
and calculations.
NOTE: An analyzer that tests
requires less frequent cleaning than an analyzer used for testing
coal- or oil-fired furnaces.
