Overview

Section 1. Overview

1.1. Introduction

Thank you for investing in a Bacharach Fyrite InTech 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: A warning statement denotes a potential hazard 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 injury. Caution statements may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

IMPORTANT: An important statement provides emphasis of an important feature, operation, etc. Failure to follow this information could void your warranty, result in improper 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.

0024-9486 Rev 2

Overview

Fyrite InTech Manual

 

CAUTION: This analyzer is not intended to be used on a

 

continuous basis.

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

CAUTION: Except for sensor and battery replacement, this analyzer should only be opened and/or serviced by authorized Bacharach personnel. Failure to comply may void the warranty.

HAZARDOUS AREA WARNING: This instrument has not been 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 CO2 level exceeds the allowable threshold, a warning 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.

Fyrite InTech Manual

Overview

1.4. Product Overview

The Fyrite InTech is a portable hand-held combustion analyzer for use in residential and light commercial applications. It is intended to be used by:

HVAC contractors

home inspectors

maintenance personnel

energy auditors

to conduct combustion efficiency analysis on residential and light commercial furnaces and appliances in the worldwide market.

The instrument is supplied with all of the following components:

probe and hose assembly

four disposable “AA” alkaline batteries

soft or hard carrying case (depending on model)

factory-calibrated and installed sensor(s) as ordered and, depending on the model and kit, some or all of the following:

rubber boot

spare filters

Fyrite User Software (FUS)

USB cable (type A to mini B)

Infrared Data Association (IrDA) printer with four disposable “AA” alkaline batteries

printer paper

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 InTech provides a North American configuration and a Siegert configuration (see page 32) 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.

Overview

NOTE: The North American (NA) configuration of Fyrite InTech computes and displays the calculations as long as the measured oxygen is not above 16% O2 and the stack temperature is not above 650° C (1200°F). The Siegert configuration of the Fyrite InTech computes and displays the calculations as long as the measured oxygen is not above 18.8% O2 and the stack temperature is not above 650°C (1200°F).

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, grilles, diffusers, and furnace flues.

1.Inspect the flue-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.

3.Push the probe’s “sample gas” tubing onto the GAS inlet connector.

4.Push the probe’s thermocouple into the T-STACK connector on the instrument noting the 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.

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Powers the analyzer ON and OFF. Hold this button

 

 

 

down for at least 2 seconds to turn the power OFF.

 

 

• Toggles the backlight ON and OFF while the analyzer is

 

 

 

turned ON.

 

 

 

 

 

 

UP (), DOWN (), LEFT (), and RIGHT () arrows

 

 

 

are context-specific navigation buttons for the menus.

 

 

• UP () and DOWN () arrow buttons scroll to menu

 

 

 

options that are hidden from view (when a side scroll

 

 

 

bar is displayed indicating additional information).

 

 

• UP () and DOWN () arrow buttons cause the

 

 

 

displayed value to increase or decrease accordingly.

 

 

• LEFT () and RIGHT () arrow buttons jump to the

 

 

 

top and bottom of lists, respectively.

 

 

• LEFT () and RIGHT () arrow buttons position the

 

 

 

active cursor on specific elements of a value to be

 

 

 

changed.

 

 

 

 

 

• The ENTER button. Performs the action selected.

 

 

 

 

 

• While in the HOLD screen, turns the sample pump on,

 

 

 

displays the RUN screen, and begins a combustion

 

 

 

test.

 

 

• While in the RUN screen, turns the sample pump off,

 

 

 

displays the HOLD screen and the last set of combustion

 

 

 

data.

 

 

• Displays the HOLD screen while pressing it from most

 

 

 

menus.

 

 

• Returns the display to the HOLD screen while pressing it

 

 

 

during the shutdown sequence.

 

 

 

 

 

• The ESC button cancels most operations and displays the

 

 

 

previous screen.

 

 

 

 

 

• Pressing function keys accepts the corresponding function

 

 

 

defined above that key at the bottom of the display (for

 

 

 

example, PRINT, SAVE, MENU, etc.).

2.3. Power Options

You use the PWR button to turn on the Fyrite InTech . Power options include:

Disposable AA alkaline batteries (included)

Disposable AA lithium (Li) batteries

Externally charged rechargeable NiMH batteries.

Check the Fyrite InTech for sufficient power prior to each use. Replace the batteries if the low (or replace) battery symbol appears in the upper right corner of the Fyrite InTech screen.

Batteries (4 AA, Fresh or Fully Charged)

Estimated Life Span in Hours

(Continuous, Pump On)

 

 

 

 

 

Alkaline (disposable)

15 hours

 

 

Lithium (disposable)

20 hours

 

 

Rechargeable

8 hours

 

 

Replace batteries as follows.

1.Remove the battery cover from the back of analyzer.

2.If old batteries are installed, remove them and properly discard them.

3.Observing the polarity markings inside the battery compartment, install four ‘AA’ disposable (alkaline or lithium) batteries or four fullycharged (externally charged) AA rechargeable NiMH batteries.

4.Replace the battery cover.

NOTE: The Fyrite InTech does NOT charge rechargeable batteries.

NOTE: A Set Clock error message will be displayed if the instrument is without power for an extended period of time.

2.4. Turning On the Fyrite InTech

To turn on the Fyrite InTech , press the PWR button.

NOTE: After turning on the Fyrite InTech , it performs a warmup procedure which includes an auto-zero procedure for the sensors (see pages 17 and 32). For this reason, be sure to turn on the Fyrite InTech in a clean air environment.
