The battery life is at least 500 charge-discharge cycles.
With increasing number of charging cycles the battery capacity (indicated in operating hours) is reduced.
1.5. User guideline for rechargeable batteries
The rechargeable batterie is installed inside the analyser and is not accessible to the end customer. However, the following instructions must generally be observed when handling lithium-ion rechargeable batteries.
This rechargeable battery can only be used in this analyser.
Do not throw the rechargeable battery into a fire, charge it at high
temperatures and store it in a hot environment.
Do not deform, short-circuit or modify the rechargeable battery.
The rechargeable battery must not be used in or under water.
Do not expose the rechargeable battery to strong mechanical forces
and do not throw it.
Do not cut or squeeze the connecting cables of the rechargeable
battery.
Do not connect the (+) contact to the (-) contact or metal.
Non-observance of the above guidelines can cause heat, fire and explosions
The analyser is available with either a probe with fixed probe tube or with exchangeable probe tubes. A complete list of available probe options can be
found in our effective price list.
Here 2 variants are shown as examples:
Probe ST

After the analyser has been inspected and is ready for start-up it can be
switched on and personalized settings can be entered. These settings can
be changed at any time.
5.1. Preparatory steps
Unpack the analyser.
Read the User Manual completely.
The analyser leaves the factory assembled and ready for use.
Nevertheless, check the device for completeness and integrity.
Charge the battery of the analyser for about 8 hours.
Change the unit for pressure in all
screens. The meaning of hPa/Pa and
kPa/Pa is that the instrument performs
a dynamic change of unit depending
on the absolute value of pressure.

flue gas measurement: activated or deactivated
If the combustion calculation is
switched off following items will be
changed:
- no fuel types, respectively always
"Sample Gas"
- no measuring values losses, ETA,
ETAcond, Dev. point
- no measuring value CO2, except it
will be measured
- no measuring values CO/NO/,,,. in
[mg/kWh]/[mg/MJ]
- no fuel type will be shown on the
menu bar and print-out
Before using the core flow search it must be switched-on:
Positioning the probe in the core flow:
Insert the probe pipe slowly into the stack and position your probe pipe
when you have reached the maximum flue gas temperature that is displayed (see temperature maximum value on the display in this case
45°C).
Maximum temperature has been reached when the arrows (left picture)
disappear, max. (Right picture) appears in place of the arrow, and the
beeper signal stops. Moving away from the max. Temperature will result
in the bars moving away from the max. Temperature (1 bar is equivalent
to 1°C). Once the right core flow has been achieved, the probe is fixed
with the probe cone screw.
7.3. Measured value display
After the core flow search you will see the measurement values on the
display.
Measurement values can be organized on three pages, each page displaying 6 measurement values.
The order of the display is operator settable.
There are direct measured values available such as Oxygen and Temperature as well as calculated values such as dew point, efficiency and CO2.
You will also find the same measurement value in different calculated
values such as CO in ppm or CO in mg/kWh.
Values that cannot be displayed are indicated with dashes. Possible reasons for value not being displayed are:
Electro chemical sensor was detected as defective during zeroing.
External temperature sensors are not connected.
The measurement value T-G
There are three measurement windows available, with the arrow keys
left and right moving between them.
Zoom function, each with two values, is activated by moving the arrow
keys up and down. Moving arrow keys left and right pages between the
two zoom windows.
7.4. Non-continuous draft measurement
The analyser provides for a non-continuous draft measurement. The
draft measurement is disabled when a maximum time after zeroing has
elapsed or a significant change in temperature has been detected by
the instrument. The maximum time is configured to 10 minutes.
If t--.-
To indicate that the draft measurement is not continuously available it is
