Safety information:

• Read and understand all instructions in the operation
section of this manual before use.

• Do not substitute components as this may impair safety
and invalidate warranty.

• Observe all warnings and instructions marked on the
unit and within this manual.

• If this product is not working properly, read the trouble­shooting guide or call Anton.

• Ensure qualified service personnel change sensors and
provide maintenance and calibration.

Additional information:

Sprint is designed to support the working practices defined
in British Standard BS7967 and the Design Standards
EN50379, BS7927 for flue gas analysers. It is highly
recommended that users are fully conversant with BS7967
when using a flue gas analyser for servicing or installing a
boiler system.

Sprint offers a timed let-by/tightness test in accordance
with the UK's Institute of Gas Engineers' procedure IGE/11/
UP/1B.

Performing CO measurements

When performing any CO measurements ensure the unit
is zeroed in clean air in accordance with British Standard

BS7967. A suitable location for sampling clean air will be
outside of the building where the boiler system is installed.

1. Repair of this equipment and gas sensor replacement

shall be carried out by the manufacturer or certified
service centre in accordance with the applicable code
of practice.

2. If the equipment is likely to come into contact with
aggressive substances, then it is the responsibility of the
user to take suitable precautions that prevent it from
being adversely affected.

3. The equipment is designed for use in ambient tempera-

tures in the range -10°C to +50°C and should not be
used outside this range

4. Use only charger(s) supplied by Telegan/Anton.

5. Use only the appropriate Telegan/Anton supplied cables

for connection to the sockets on the instrument.

Flue gas analysis

Connect the flue probe to the flue sample inlet and the thermocouple to the
k-connector marked FLOW (Efficiency). To measure flue draught pressure con­nect pressure tube to (-) Pressure inlet marked draught.

Differential pressure, working pressure, operating pressure and let-by
and tightness test

Connect tubing to pressure inlet(s).

Differential temperature test

Connect one or two thermocouple probes to the k-type connectors. When
using one probe, Sprint will display a soft key option to switch between T1 and
T2 snapshot measuring points.

Room CO safety test

Connect CO room safety test probe (optional), where suitable, to the flue sam­ple inlet.

Gas escape test

Connect gas leak probe to the USB connector.

Note: The pump may operate at different speeds or switch off depending on the test
being performed. This will vary the pitch of the sound from the pump and does not

indicate the pump is performing incorrectly.

Accessories

Sprint is supplied with a rubber boot for protection of your Sprint unit. A mag­net on the reverse of the rubber boot can be used to place the Sprint unit in
location on the boiler system for easy hands-free operation. Take care not to
place items which may be sensitive to strong magnetic fields near this magnet,
eg credit cards or magnetic storage devices like computer hard drives.

Quickstart Guide

Switch On

Important: please connect flue probe first before switching on your Sprint
unit, ensure the water trap is empty and is fitted in the right direction. Do
not insert probe in flue till after auto zero. Always start in clean air.

Press and hold the ON/OFF/ENTER key for two seconds. Sprint will emit a few ris­ing beeps, performs a screen test and starts the pump to purge any residual gas
from the unit. Ensure the gas exhaust outlet is not blocked.

The welcoming splash screen is displayed for approxi­mately 30 seconds and will automatically go to the Auto
zero screen. When Auto zero is complete the display will
change to the Test Menu. Warm-up should be extended
if sensor needs to recover from previous gas exposure.

Auto zero

When Sprint has completed warm-up the auto zero screen will be displayed.

Ensure you are in clean air before proceeding.

Tip: auto zero Sprint outside of the building or well away from the heating appliance to
avoid any potential gases in the vicinity affecting the auto zero process.

Ensure the sensor reading is stable, press the proceed ü key to begin auto zero.
After a successful auto zero Sprint will display the Test

Menu screen and switch off the pump.

Note: Sprint will switch off the pump when not performing
tests or purging.

Performing tests

From the Main Menu select Test Menu. Refer to section III Operation for more
details.

1. Flue gas analysis

Before performing the flue gas analysis test, check the water trap is clean and
is upright (arrow should point in direction of gas flow). To begin test, select Flue
gas analysis from the Test Menu.
Sprint will switch on the pump
and begin making measurements.
Check the fuel type displayed on
the screen is correct. Use the soft
keys to log or print the results.

Press the ON/OFF/ENTER button to
display the three screens available:

Screen 1: CO, CO2, CO/CO2

ratio and pressure.

Screen 2: O2, excess air,

temperature and efficiency.

Extra screen for V4&V5:

O2, CO, NO, NOX

Final screen combines elements from previous screens.
To perform a pressure zero, use the soft key marked

P=0

To end test press the ESC key.

Warning: During testing, ensure the combined filter and water trap is not blocked or
full. Failure to do so may result in an error message.

Note: for personal safety a carbon monoxide alarm will activate at 300ppm CO. This
will deactivate when CO levels drop below 150ppm. This is to protect the user from
potential hazardous exhaust gas levels.

2. Let-by and Tightness test

Let-by test

Before carrying out the test, the pressure must be zeroed with the tube con-

nected to the instrument but not the pressure source. Note: in these tests 'Diff

press' is the difference between start and finish pressures.

1. Select Pressure Menu from the Test Menu. From the Press Menu screen
options select Let-by / Tightness.

2. Connect tube to positive pressure inlet but not pressure source.

3. Zero pressure, use the soft key marked

P=0

.

4. Connect tube to pressure source to begin pressure test.
