5 Specifications

Specifications
The testo 300 is a measuring instrument for flue gas analysis on applications, such as
residential, commercial and industrial applications (oil, gas, wood, coal)
low-temperature and condensing boilers
boilers, furnaces and gas heaters.
Using the instrument, these systems can be adjusted and checked for applicable limit values.
The instrument has been verified as a short-term measuring instrument and should not be used as a safety (alarm) device.
The following tasks can also be performed using the instrument:
Checking the O ensure optimum operation.
Draft measurement.
Measuring the gas flow pressure in gas heaters.
Measuring and optimizing the flow and return temperatures of heating
systems.
Measuring the CO concentration in the ambient air.
A NO
filter for the CO sensor can be ordered as a spare part to replace a used

Power supply / Battery

The measuring instrument is supplied with a rechargeable battery.
Fully charge the battery before use.
If plugged in power supply.
Only charge the battery at an ambient temperature of 32 to 95°F.
Ambient temperature from 50 to 68°F
Charge level of 50 to 80%

The measuring instrument is powered via the power supply.
If the instrument is turned off and a power plug is inserted, the charging process will start automatically. Switching the measuring instrument on stops the charging of the battery and the measuring instrument is powered via the power supply.
For longer measurements involving AC operation, Testo recommends using a combustion air temperature probe with connection cable. Self­heating of the instrument during AC operation may influence the combustion air temperature measurement using a mini ambient air probe.

Touchscreen operating concept

Familiarize yourself with the touchscreen operating concept before you use the measuring instrument.
Actions are mostly performed by:
