Laser EGA OVERVIEW
Your Laser exhaust gas analyser has the ability to measure up to 3
dierent gases,
Depending on your options it measures or calculates:
● Carbon Monoxide 0-10,000ppm (CO) if tted
● Carbon Monoxide 0-10% (CO) if tted
● Carbon Dioxide (CO2) if tted
● Nitric Oxide (NO)
● Nitrogen Oxide (NOx)
● Corrected Carbon Monoxide (COk)
Your Laser EGA has a protective rubber cover with magnets for
“hands-free” operation and is supplied with an exhaust probe and
battery charger with 3 NiMH batteries.
Your Laser EGA has a large 6 line display showing data and test results
based on your actions. The display bottom line also highlights analyser
status at all times.
Your Laser EGA prints test reports using an optional infrared printer.
Your Laser EGA stores up to 45 logs.
You can enter 2 lines of 24 characters on your test results printout.
Laser LINK wirelessly connects optional Laser LINK devices to your
analyser.

BATTERIES
BATTERY TYPE
Your Laser EGA uses rechargeable Nickel Material Hydride (NiMH)
batteries - Using other battery types may void your analyser’s warranty.
WARNING
Although you can use Alkaline batteries you must not charge your
analyser with Alkaline batteries tted.
Do not mix NiMH cells with dierent capacities or from dierent
manufacturers - All batteries must be identical.
REPLACING BATTERIES
Turn over your analyser, remove protective rubber cover, nd battery
compartment & t 3 NiMH “AA” rechargeable batteries ensuring correct
battery polarity. Replace battery cover & protective rubber cover.
TIME AND DATE
After changing batteries reset your analyser time & date.
CHARGING NiMH BATTERIES
Your Laser EGA uses a standard Micro USB connector - For best results
turn o then connect your charger. Charging indicator will illuminate then
turn o when charging is complete.
Your rst charge should be for 8 hours - Thereafter NiMH batteries can
be topped up at any time, even for short periods
If your batteries discharge and your analyser enters a low power
shutdown, 1 hour charge provides approx. 2 hours continuous use.
BATTERY DISPOSAL
Always dispose of depleted batteries using approved disposal methods
to protect our environment.
Laser EGA SERIES MANUAL 9

GENERAL SAFETY
SAFETY WARNING
Your analyser extracts combustion gases that may be toxic in relativity
low concentrations. These gases are exhausted from the back of the
analyser. This analyser must only be used in well-ventilated locations
by trained and competent persons after due consideration of all the
potential hazards.
Portable gas detectors should conduct “bump” tests before relying
on units to verify atmospheres are free from hazards.
A “bump” test is a way to check an instrument works within acceptable
limits by briey exposing it to known gas mixtures to change the output
of all sensors present.
NOTE: This is dierent from a calibration where your analyser is
exposed to known gas mixtures but allowed to settle to a steady
gure with readings adjusted to the stated gas concentration of the
test gas.
Protection Against Electric Shock
(In accordance with EN 61010-1:2010):
This analyser is designed as Class III equipment and should only be
connected to SELV circuits. The battery charger is designated as:
● Class II equipment
● Installation category II
● Pollution degree 2
● Indoor use only
● Altitude to 2000m
● Ambient temperature 0°C-40°C
● Maximum relative humidity 80% for temperatures up to 31°C
decreasing linearly to 50%RH at 40°C
● Mains supply uctuations not to exceed 10% of the nominal voltage

Page 11
FIRST TIME USE
Charge your analyser batteries for 8 hours - an overnight charge should
be sucient for an average 8 hour day.
Take time to read this manual fully and be aware your analyser
conguration may not support all features explained in this manual.
Before using your analyser ensure it is set up for your requirements.
NOTE: Your analyser STATUS bar displays current time, date and
battery status - Check time & date are correct as they can only
be changed if you have not stored logs in Memory to protect the
integrity of your stored data.
GENERAL OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Using your Laser EGA is simple with the rotary dial and user interface.
Most tests can be made with little user activity.
Your analyser status bar oers options based on tasks you are
performing and displays useful information and messages.
QUICK START
Turn on your analyser in fresh outdoor air pressing the button for
2 seconds. Your analyser starts a 60 second zero calibration - once
completed select your tests by turning the analyser rotary dial.
USER INTERFACE
Your analyser display shows 5 lines of tests & a status bar. The backlight
activates each button press then turns o after 10 seconds.
Navigate through your options and menu choices via 3 dedicated
& buttons.
Button presses are either short or long.

MEASURING EXHAUST GASES
After countdown is nished and your analyser is ready to use, put your
exhaust probe into the vehicles exhaust.
For normal emission testing, ensure that the engine has been preconditioned to normal operating temperature. The engine conditions
must be constant and stable to give a stable measurement.
Ensure the probe is fully inserted into the exhaust pipe to avoid any
dilution of the exhaust gas with back-ushing ambient air. Position the
hose assembly away from any hot surfaces.
SAFETY WARNING
Use suitable protection when disconnecting the probe, as it may be hot!
Do not exceed analyser operating specications - In particular:
● Do not exceed analyser internal temperature operating range
● Do not put analyser on hot surfaces
● Do not exceed analyser water trap max levels
● Do not let analyser particle lter become dirty and blocked
Check readings are stable and within expected range.

CO SENSOR PROTECTION PUMP OPERATION
Your analyser CO sensor is automatically protected from high levels of
CO. When CO is above the maximum range of your analyser the main
pump stops and CO Purge pump starts.
Your analyser displays - - - - until CO levels fall below the maximum
measurement range.

COLD WEATHER PRECAUTIONS
It is important you keep your analyser in a warm place overnight.
Electronic devices that become really cold, by being left in a vehicle
overnight, suffer when taken into a warm room the next morning.
Condensation may form affecting analyser performance.
Analyser electrochemical sensors are affected by condensation or water
being sucked into the analyser, stopping sensors seeing ue gas. When
this happens, oxygen or carbon dioxide readings will display as “-” &
sensors may be permanently damaged.
If you think your analyser is affected by condensation or water ingress,
leave the analyser running in a warm place with pump ‘ON’ sampling
fresh air for a few hours. Connect your mains adapter or battery charger
to avoid draining batteries.
If you still experience problems please contact Kane Customer Service.
