Please note the information in the document Commissioning and Safety (printed version supplied with the product). Make sure that

3 Use

all product users read and observe the safety information!

The testo 330i is a flue gas measuring instrument which in combination with a separate Android or iOS mobile device and the testo 330i App enables professional flue gas analysis of combustion systems:

• Small combustion systems (oil, gas, wood, coal)

• Low-temperature and condensing boilers

• Gas water heaters

These systems can be adjusted using the instrument and checked for compliance with the applicable limit values.

The instrument has been verified as a short-term measuring instrument and should not be used as a safety (alarm) instrument.

The following tasks can also be carried out using the instrument:

• Regulating the O

, CO and CO2, NO, NOx values in furnaces for

the purpose of ensuring optimal operation.

• Draught measurement.

• Measuring and regulating the gas flow pressure in gas water

heaters.

• Measuring and optimising the flow and return temperatures of heating systems.

• Ambient measurement - CO and CO

• Detection of CH

(methane) and C3H8 (propane).

• The instrument can be used for measurements on combined heat and power stations (CHP) in accordance with the first German Federal Immission Control Ordinance (BImSchV).

• In principal, the CO sensor can also be used for

measurements on CHP stations. If you should carry out more than 50 measurements on CHP stations per year, please contact your nearest Testo service centre or send the testo 330i to testo Service for inspection.

A worn NO

filter of the CO sensor can be ordered as a

spare part (item no. 0554 4150) and replaced.

Please note the information in the document Commissioning and

5.2. Getting to know the product

5.2.1. Connecting probes

Safety (printed version supplied with the product).

Always connect the probes to the flue gas socket or probe socket before switching on the measuring instrument; switch the measuring instrument off and restart after replacing a probe.

Connecting flue gas probes/gas pressure adapters/temperature adapters

> Insert the connector plug into the flue gas socket and lock by

slightly turning it clockwise (bayonet lock).

There must be no more than one extension lead (0554

1201) between measuring instrument and flue gas probe.

5 First steps

Connecting other probes

> Insert the connector plug of the probe into the probe socket.

5.2.2. Mains unit/rechargeable battery

If the mains unit is connected, the measuring instrument is

automatically powered from the unit.

5 First steps

5.2.2.1. Charging the rechargeable battery

The rechargeable battery can only be charged at an ambient temperature of 0 to 35 °C. If the rechargeable battery pack has discharged completely, the charging time at room temperature is approx. 5-6 hrs.

1. Connect the instrument plug of the mains unit to the mains unit

socket on the measuring instrument.

2. Plug the mains plug of the mains unit into a mains socket.

- The charging process starts (red LED flashes: 0.5 s on/0.5 s

off).

- The charging process stops automatically when the battery is

charged (red LED is constant).

Rechargeable battery care

• Do not fully exhaust rechargeable batteries.

• Store rechargeable batteries only if charged and at low

temperatures, but not below 0 °C. The best storage conditions are with a charge level of 30-70% and an ambient temperature of 0-15 °C. Fully charge before using again.

• Optimal charging temperature at 20 °C ambient temperature.

• Trickle charging should not exceed 2 days.

5.2.2.2. Mains operation

1. Connect the instrument plug of the mains unit to the mains unit

socket on the measuring instrument.

2. Plug the mains plug of the mains unit into a mains socket.

- The measuring instrument is powered via the mains unit.

- If the measuring instrument is switched off and a rechargeable

battery is inserted, the charging process will start automatically. Switching the measuring instrument on has the effect of stopping the battery charging and the measuring instrument is then powered via the mains unit.

6 Using the product

6.1.3. | Instrument settings | Country version

The Country version configuration affects the measurement parameters, fuels, fuel parameters, and the basis of and formulas for calculations activated in the measurement box.

The country version setting affects the user screen languages that can be enabled.

6.1.4. | Instrument settings | Language

The user interface language can be set. The number of available languages depends on the activated

country version.

6.1.5. (Fuels)

In order to obtain the correct readings the used fuel is to be set before taking the readings.

6.1.6. | Instrument settings | Sensor protection

Threshold values can be set to protect the CO/NO sensors against overload. The sensor protection is activated if the threshold is exceeded:

• Fresh air dilution if exceeded

• Shutdown if exceeded again

To disable sensor protection the threshold values must be set to 0 ppm.

6.1.7. | Instrument settings | O2 reference

The O2 reference value of the current fuel can be set.

6.1.8. | Instrument settings | O2 addition

The NO2 addition value can be set.

6.1.9. | Instrument settings | Height compensation

Extremely low absolute pressure causes wrong calculation of the

sensor service life. Therefore, when the measuring instrument is

used at great heights, the factory set value should be adjusted so that an O2 sensor is not displayed prematurely as “expended”.

If using the measuring instrument at heights up to approx. 1800 m above mean sea level (MSL), the factory setting (922 hPa, equals approx. 800 m above MSL) can be retained.
