'Quit test?'.

When printing Room CO safety test results Sprint will also provide data show­ing for how long the recommended level of CO was exceeded. This is expressed
as hh:mm > allowed.

6. Gas escape test

Note: Battery power will be used at a higher rate under this test.

Select Gas escape from the Test Menu. Connect the Gas leak probe to the USB
connector, the light will illuminate on the probe. Sprint will display a warning if
the probe is not connected.

Sprint will display 'sensor stabilising' for approximately 30 seconds.
When the sensor is stable the unit will ask 'in clean air?' before zeroing.
Press ü to zero the unit. Sprint will display a bar graph on the screen as gas
levels are monitored.

Place the probe in the area of inspection for several seconds before moving it
to other locations.

Sprint will emit continuous clicks like a Geiger counter. If higher gas levels are
detected the bar graph will increase in readings and the sounder will increase
in pitch.

Press ESC to quit the test.

As with many types of instrumentation the gas leak probe may be damaged
by impact. If the probe is dropped or suffers significant impact in another way
check its operation by first plugging it into the Sprint V and confirming that it
is recognised by the analyser. If this is successful select the gas leak mode and
briefly apply a sample of gas, for example from an unlit cooker ring. This will
allow the user to verify whether the sensor is working correctly or not. If the
gas is not detected contact Telegan or your local distributor to arrange for the
probe to be serviced.

It is recommended good practice that the above check is carried out periodically
even if the user is not aware of the probe being exposed to impact.

Operation Sprint V2/V3/V4/V5

I. Operation

Before using the Sprint flue gas analyser on any heating appliance installation,
ensure you are familiar with the working practices defined in the BS7967 which
details how to perform certain tests and safety issues to consider.

Auto zero setting

Allow the Sprint unit to auto zero during switch on in clean air before per­forming any of the following tests: flue gas analysis and room CO safety test.
Ensure all tubes and probes are connected before switch on and zero outside
in clean air.

Pump

Sprint runs the internal pump during purge at switch on and switch off, and
during and after some tests. A rotating purge icon will appear on the screen
when purging. The speed and therefore the sound emitted by the pump, may
vary depending on the test being conducted. To save on the battery life, Sprint
will turn off the pump when it is not required.

When the pump is running ensure the exit gas exhaust is not blocked and do
not breath in the exhaust gases.

Appendix I: Carbon Monoxide Room Safety Tests Sprint V2/V3/V4/V5

Appendix I: Carbon Monoxide
Room Safety Tests

Sprint V instruments are designed to assist heating engineers to work to the BS
7967:2005 specification for carbon monoxide room safety testing. You should
refer to BS7967, which defines the requirements, details the methods as well
as the pass and fail criteria for various types of appliances.

CO Room Safety Test in the Sprint V instruments is designed to measure the
build up of carbon monoxide levels in a room where a gas appliance is in use
and record those values each minute for the duration of the test. In addition at
the end of the test it assists the engineer (in an advisory capacity only) to deter­mine whether the test has passed or failed or if the results are invalid. In certain
circumstances, where the results are borderline or open to interpretation, the
instrument will ask the operator to decide if the test has passed or failed, and
will record the operators decision.

Please note: ultimately it is the responsibility of the operator to ensure that the test
is correctly performed to the BS 7967:2005 specification. If the data does not support
the result or the operator suspects it is not reliable due to local conditions (such as
carbon monoxide level changes due to cigarette smoke or vehicle traffic) or incorrect,
then either the test should be repeated or the operator should seek expert advice.

Result Codes

The pass or fail result is displayed when the test completes and is printed on
the report as well as recorded in the log. If the test fails a code number is also
displayed, printed on the report and recorded in the log. This fail code identi­fies the way in which the test failed and can help identify the cause. Also when

29

Sprint V2/V3/V4/V5 Appendix I: Carbon Monoxide Room Safety Tests

the test completes a short text message associated to this code is displayed in
a pop-up prompt dialog screen, to explain the reason for failure.

The result codes and associated prompt dialogue messages are as follows:

RESULT & CODE POP-UP PROMPT ON-SCREEN

“PASSED" None
“PASSED (2)" None
ANY “FAILED” “Warning - CO Room Safety test failed.”
“FAILED (1)” CO levels did not fall or unstable.
“FAILED (2)” CO unacceptably high (for too long).
“FAILED (3)” CO dangerously high.
“FAILED (4)” Unacceptable or incomplete.

“Press ESC key to continue.”

Pass Cases

Normal Acceptable Peak of CO

Normally for a test to pass, the CO levels must peak without exceeding the
maximum allowed CO level and then fall (by at least 1 ppm) below the peak
value before the end of the test. Note that it is not necessary for the CO level
to reach or be close to zero at the end of the test, so long as it remains below
the maximum allowed CO level.

The result code is: PASSED

Very Low Levels of CO

If the CO levels remain below 3 ppm (ie: close to clean air or background noise
levels) for the duration of the test, then the test is considered to have passed.

The result code is: PASSED

Failure Cases

Excessive Levels of CO

If the CO level exceeds the CO alarm level then the test is considered to have
failed and should be immediately aborted. The CO alarm may be triggered at
any stage (before, during and after completion of the test) and continues to
annunciate until the CO level returns to a safe level.

The result code is: FAILED (3)

30

Appendix I: Carbon Monoxide Room Safety Tests Sprint V2/V3/V4/V5

NB: The alarm should prompt the operator to take appropriate action according to
BS7967 and safety procedures. The sensors in the instrument should be purged with
clean air and allowed to recover.

Unacceptable Levels of CO

A peak duration timer records whenever the CO level exceeds the maximum
allowed CO level during the test. If the total peak duration time exceeds the
max peak duration allowed then the test fails due to unacceptable levels of
CO.

The result code is: FAILED (2)

Operator Pass/Fail Cases

The following results are considered to be operator determined whether the
test passes or fails:

Acceptable Levels of CO with no Peak

For some appliances CO levels may rise to a value beneath the specified limit
and stabilise rather then fall. In this case it is up to the operator to determine
PASS or FAIL.

If operator chooses to fail the test, the result code is: FAILED (4) otherwise the
result code is: PASSED (2)

CO Level Exceeds Max Allowable Level for a Short Duration

For some appliances (eg: cooker) a peak exceeding the maximum allowed CO
level may be acceptable, provided the CO level falls back below this level within
the max peak duration time. It is up to the operator to determine if the result
is acceptable or not.

If the operator chooses to fail the test, the result code is: FAILED (4)

Otherwise the result code is: PASSED (2)

Other Cases

When a test is not performed correctly, the results are inconclusive or there
is insufficient or unreliable data Sprint V attempts to interpret the readings
detected and fail the test. It is possible for the results of a test to appear to be
valid when it was performed incorrectly or the data collected was unreliable in
some way. Please refer to BS7967:2005 and ensure tests are carried out cor­rectly. Sprint V tries to reject incorrectly taken test readings but should not be
relied on to instruct engineers on correct working practice.

31

Sprint V2/V3/V4/V5 Appendix I: Carbon Monoxide Room Safety Tests

Multiple Peaks of CO

The overall peak CO reading recorded will be the latest peak CO reading that
was higher than any previous. The peak duration recorded will be the total
time the CO readings exceeded the maximum allowed CO level. The pass /
fail criteria are applied as before based on this information. Sprint V does not
expect to record multiple peaks of CO where the reading goes up and down
more than once.

Unstable or Rising Levels of CO

If there is a significant build up of CO levels at the end of the test and levels are
still rising the test will fail.

The result code is: FAILED (1)

CO Level Exceeds Max Allowable Level and Peaks for Unknown
Duration

If the CO level exceeds the maximum allowed too close to the end of the test
then the test is failed. This can occur if there is a build up of CO levels towards
the end of the test or the appliance fires up late on in the test or the test is
stopped too early. The test should be repeated if this occurs.

The result code is: FAILED (2)

CO Level Does Not Start Close to Zero

It is important that the instrument is zeroed in clean air at switch-on. Failure to
do so will invalidate the test result. BS 7967-2:2005 also requires that the room
is well ventilated prior to starting the test. However it is possible that there may
be a residual background CO level (eg: due to traffic fumes). The instrument
will display a pop-up box prior to starting the test if the CO level is more than
3 ppm.
