Introduction

Thank you for purchasing TPI brand products. The TPI 716 Flue Gas
Analyser is a state of the art, easy to use analyser designed not only to
display and calculate the required readings from a flue but also to cover
most of the other measurements associated with combustion. The
instrument is ruggedly constructed and comes with a 6 Year Guarantee
subject to annual servicing being carried out by TPI or one of their
approved service centres.

General Overview

The following guidelines will help prevent damage to your sensors:

Always use the mini pump filter when testing flue gases.
Periodically check and replace the mini pump filter as needed.
Always make sure the in-line filter / water trap is installed properly.
Periodically check and replace the in-line filter as needed.
Always remove water or condensation from the inside of the in-line
filter / water trap assembly prior to performing tests.
Always use the optional oil filter (p/n A773) when performing tests on oil
burning equipment unless you are using the 716 with an NO

sensor fitted. Do not use the A773 on the 716 with NO sensor fitted
because the A773 will filter out Nitric Oxide (NO).

Never over saturate your sensors by performing tests on equipment with
gas levels beyond the capability of you analyser.
Always keep the A796 water trap / filter assembly clean & dry and replace
the internal filter as necessary. (Replacement filter part number is A796-F.)

BASIC ANALYSER FUNCTIONS

Charging The Analyser

Plug the charger into the charger socket on the instrument (see page 7). When the
charger is plugged in the battery level display will turn on. This display indicates
the analyser is being charged and the status of the charge.

The plug symbol confirms the
analyser is connected to the charger.
The battery symbol shows the charge
level when the analyser is on too.

The charge level is represented in
graph form as well. The charge is
displayed in percentage. (0 to 100%)

During operation the analyser will display charge status and battery condition in
the top right corner of the display.

Battery is at full capacity.

Battery is at 2/3 capacity.

Battery is at 1/3 capacity. The charger should be connected soon.

Battery is very low and needs to be recharged immediately

Indicates the analyzer is connected to the charger.

If a beeping noise is heard during charging disconnect the charger. This is an
indication the battery pack needs to be replaced.

Turning The Analyser On

Always: - Before turning on please ensure that ONLY the in-line pump protection

filter is connected to the Gas Sample Port. This in-line pump protection filter
MUST be fitted to the instrument at all times!!

Please DO NOT

have the gas sampling probe attached at this point. The gas
sampling probe needs be fitted to the 716 only at the point where combustion
analysis begins. See page 14

Press and hold the ON/OFF key down for approximately 3 seconds. The 716 will
beep and the initial start up screen will be displayed.

After approximately 5 seconds the Main menu will be displayed & the 716 is ready
to use. However, as the Next Calibration Due Date Approaches or is Overdue one

of the following screens may appear:-

The initial start up screen displays the
following information:

Model number of the analyser
Firmware version
Firmware date
Serial number of the analyzer

Date Last Calibration was carried out

Date Next Calibration is due

Choosing “Next” will move you onto the Main Menu Screen as displayed below.
Please Note: It is a requirement of BS7967 that an FGA is within calibration and used
in conjunction with the manufacturers instructions therefore it is NOT recommended
that “Next” be chosen by the user if the “Calibration Overdue” Screen appears. Doing
so will contravene the requirements of BS7967.
