K9206 OVERVIEW
The K9206 is broadly based on the KM9106 and while retaining many of its core features has been
significantly enhanced. The most visible difference is the large graphical display on the handset. Up to
15 lines of text/data can be displayed. The handset links to the main analyzer unit using Bluetooth or the
normal cable. It also has a USB connector to link to a PC via a cable and has an infrared output to link to
the portable KMIRP printer.
The main analyzer unit also contains significant enhancements over the previous 9106.

MAIN ANALYZER UNIT: AS STANDARD K9206/P
• Measures: Oxygen, Ambient temperature, Atmospheric pressure, Inlet temperature
Flue temperature, Differential pressure
• Features: Main purge, Flow control*, NiMh battery packs, Plain paper printer
*Flow control
To compensate for different suction levels in flues, hose lengths and filter contamination levels,
all of which can affect the flow of sample gases, there is an active flow control system fitted
to the K9206.
It operates as follows:
Every time the instrument is turned on and finishes its first fresh air purge cycle from inside
the analyzer, it measures and records the pump pressure just prior to the sensor manifold while
the pump is at 100% flow rate. During service calibration & normal use, the pump speed is
automatically adjusted to 70% of the purge flow rate to maintain consistent flow.
The flow control can cope with typically 100 mbar suction in a flue and still maintain the same
nominal flow as that present under ambient conditions.

SAFETY WARNING
This analyzer extracts combustion gases that may be toxic in relatively low concentrations. These gases are
exhausted from the bottom of the instrument. This instrument must only be used in well-ventilated locations.
It must only be used by trained and competent persons after due consideration of all the potential hazards.
FIRST TIME USE
Charge the batteries for 12 hours; following this an overnight charge should be sufficient for an average
8-hour day. There may be three battery packs that need charging, the main battery, the optional heater battery and the handset battery. The handset battery can use the same charger as the analyzer unit or can be
charged via the main unit using a handset lead. All batteries are NiMh.
• While charging the red LED will flash.
• We offer a wide choice of probes, which are not supplied as standard and must be ordered as a
separate item.
• Take time to read this manual fully.
TIP: Take a look at the Spare Parts list and order some replacement filters and paper rolls now.
25
NORMAL START UP SEQUENCE
EVERY TIME YOU USE THE ANALYZER
BEFORE SWITCH-ON CHECK THAT:
• the oxygen sensor is connected
• the particle filter is not dirty
• the sulphur filter is fitted for heavy oil or coal
• the water trap and probe line are empty of water
• all hose connections, etc, are properly made
• the paper roll is fitted
• the analyzer unit is in fresh air
• the water trap is vertical
• the flue temperature is connected
• the instrument is placed on a clean, flat, level surface
Switch ON the analyzer by pressing ON/OFF on the handset. You also need to press the ON/OFF
switch on the analyzer main unit.
AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION
• During this sequence the analyzer pumps fresh air into the sensors to allow toxic sensors to be set to
zero and the oxygen sensor to be set to 20.9 %.
• During this sequence the handset display will show the following:
Note: The software version number and serial number are examples only.
26
If there is no Bluetooth communication between the handset and the main unit the
following will appear on the screen.
• Press ENTER to continue and follow the instructions.
• Once Bluetooth communication is established the main measurement screen will appear.

28
29
SAMPLING THE FLUE GAS
Once the automatic calibration procedure has been completed and the specific fuel has been selected the
probe can be inserted into the desired sampling point.
It is recommended that the sampling point be located at least two flue diameters downstream of any bend
and that the probe tip is in the center of the flue (this is normally the point of the hottest temperature).
With balanced flues and other industrial units the probe should be positioned far enough into the flue so
that no air can ‘back flush’ into the probe.
The probe depth stop cone provided with the instrument allows the probe to be used in holes whose
diameters range from 8 mm to 21 mm (5/16 to 4/5 inch).
The standard probe is rated at 650°C/1202°F. Temperatures of up to 100°C/2012°F can be accommodated
using an optional high temperature probe.
TIP: To conserve battery power, switch off the pump when you are not taking a measurement. Use the
pump key to turn the pump ON and OFF.
LONG TERM MONITORING
There are a number of things that need to be considered for successful long term
unattended monitoring:
• The provision of enough power for the duration of the test
• The capability to empty the water trap
• Regular fresh air purging of the sensors
• Protection from rain or water spray from the process being monitored.
If a mains power source is being used it is strongly recommended that the supply cable be protected by a suitable Residual Current Device (RCD).
Unless the water trap is to be regularly inspected then a pumped water trap should be fitted.
Electrochemical sensors need regular refreshing with fresh air, preferably at around 50% RH. They also
need a small percentage of oxygen to be present in the sampled gas. If there is zero oxygen the output
from the sensors will decay over time (10 minutes or so). In such circumstances, fresh air purge should be
programmed for a 50% duty cycle every 10 minutes.
The longest sampling time without purging should be limited to 2 hours and then purge for 30 minutes.
When the KHC infrared module is fitted, for maximum accuracy it is recommended that purging occur
every 30 minutes.

KMDM220 GAS CONDITIONING MODULE
This module is fitted in the front compartment of a standard K9206 carry case and comprises a Peltier fan
cooled chiller assembly, a peristaltic pump to automatically remove condensate, the control electronics
and a power supply module. The module is supported on an aluminum alloy chassis.
The chiller is connected to a flue mounted electrically heated probe (KMHP1200) by a 9.8 foot long heated
line with automatic temperature control (KMHL3000). Because the gas that is extracted from the flue is
maintained at 248°F no condensation occurs in the probe or the hose and so no sample gas is lost in the
condensate. The chiller flash cools the sample gas to below the ambient dew point and any water in the
gas immediately condenses. The condensate is then pumped away using a peristaltic pump. Because the
gas has no chance to remain in contact with the condensate, volatile sample gas is not lost into the condensate. The chilled gas then naturally warms up as it passes through the sampling pump to the sensors
and as it does so its humidity reduces and there is no risk of further condensation.
SETTING UP KMDM220
The heated sample probe must be connected to the top of the heated line and a gas tight connection
be made without over tightening the connections. This joint must then be thermally insulated. Both the
heated probe and the heated line must be connected to a mains power source via a suitable Residual
Current Device (RCD) and be left powered up for 20 minutes to achieve their operating temperature before
attempting to extract sample gas.
When the probe is inserted into the sampling point is must be suitably supported to prevent bending and
unnecessary strain. Likewise the heated line should be carefully supported and never be twisted or kinked
as this may damage the internal heating elements.
The heated line is connected to the chiller by attaching the end of the line to the through bulkhead connection in the K9206 carry case. A short flexible connection then links the hose to the chiller. The chiller
needs to be powered up for at least 10 minutes before it is used.
The peristaltic pump operates automatically. Always check that the drain of the peristaltic pump is clear
and that there are no blockages. The peristaltic pump needs to have its flexible rotor replaced after every
1000 hours of operation.
To operate efficiently the chiller needs to be well ventilated so the case lid must be removed, however
the unit must be protected externally to prevent ingress of water from either the plant being tested or
from rainfall.
31
MAINTENANCE
EMPTYING AND CLEANING THE IN-LINE WATER TRAP
The water trap should be checked and emptied on a regular basis. Water vapor will condense in the probe
line, which may cause the water trap to fill beyond the maximum level mark. If this occurs water could be
drawn into the analyzer causing damage. Care should be taken at all times to avoid this risk.
Emptying of the water trap is detailed below:
Carefully remove the end cap from the in-line housing. Dispose of the condensate in a suitable drain; care
must be taken, as it could be acidic. If condensate spills onto the skin or clothing, clean off immediately
using fresh water and seek medical advice if problems occur.
CHANGING THE PARTICLE FILTER
This is a very important part of the analyzer and should be changed regularly. It prevents dust and dirty
particles entering the pump and sensors and hence causing damage. The filter MUST be changed when it
appears discolored.
Remove the end cap from the filter housing. Carefully remove the paper filter element and dispose of it.
Clean the inside of the filter housing with a suitable soft cloth. Insert a new filter element onto the spigot
on the filter end cap and carefully insert it into the filter body.
32
CHARGING THE BATTERY
It is important that the battery is charged on a regular basis. The instrument constantly powers the internal sensors and may discharge the battery if left unattended for serveral months. Connect the charger
supplied with the instrument to the correct mains supply.
Note: The correct charger type may be required for your local voltage i.e. 110 or 220volts AC.
Insert the plug in the socket marked CHARGER INPUT SOCKET
The CHARGER ON RED LED will flash showing the instrument is charging.
CHANGING THE PAPER ROLL
To change the paper roll, remove the printer cover by loosening the two screws holding it down. Remove
the old paper roll core and insert the new roll so that it sits as follows:
Feed the free end of paper into the printer through the metal slot beneath the printer ribbon. Start the
paper feed sequence until the paper has emerged from the top of the printer, feed the loose end through
the cover and refit.
TO START PAPER FEED
Go to MENU, REPORTS, FORM FEED
CHANGING THE PRINTER RIBBON
The printer ribbon cartridge will last for approximately two rolls of paper. Remove the printer cover as
detailed above.
Marked on one end of the cartridge is PUSH. Gently press down on this end and the ribbon cartridge will
pop up at the other end. Remove the cartridge and dispose of.
33
Fit a new ribbon guiding the paper roll between the exposed ribbon and cartridge body.

APPENDICES
A – PARAMETER MEANINGS
The parameters and their meanings are detailed as follows : -
• DATE : Analyzer date.
• TIME : Analyzer time.
• MAIN BATTERY/ Displays the battery level from 0-100%. The analyzer will flash
HEATER BATTERY: RECHARGE BATTERY at less than 10 % of charge. The analyzer
may show levels greater than 100% when the charger is connected.
• ----- : Displayed when a calculation cannot be performed because a probe is not
fitted or a parameter is out of range.
• FUEL : The fuel used in calculation of efficiency and carbon dioxide.
• K1g: Gross calorific fuel constant. See Appendix for calculation.
• K1n : Gross calorific fuel constant. See Appendix for calculation.
• K2 : Percentage Maximum theoretical CO2 (dry basis).
• K3: Percentage wet loss.
• K4 : Percentage unburnt carbon loss.
• O2r : Toxic gas measurements can be referenced to defined oxygen levels.
Oxygen referencing is required by some regulations such as TALUFT. If a
reference value is selected the toxic gas measurements will be displayed with
the symbol n attached to the units. i.e. ppmn
What does oxygen reference mean?
If 3 % O2 reference is selected and 5 % O2 is measured in the flue then toxic
gas values will be recalculated as if 3 % were measured. The equation for
referencing is detailed in the Appendix. Oxygen referencing prevents false
readings being submitted, e.g. allowing more air into the boiler will increase
the oxygen level in the flue and hence dilute any toxic gas reading. Oxygen
referencing gives readings as if they were undiluted.
• NETT : Nett temperature calculated by deducting the internal AMBIENT temperature
from the measured FLUE temperature. Displays in either Centigrade C or
Fahrenheit F and will display NOT FITTED if flue probe not connected.
If an external INLET probe is used then INLET is deducted from FLUE.
• O2 : Oxygen reading in percentage %.
• CO : Carbon monoxide reading indicated in ppm or mg/m3. If the figures
are referenced to oxygen then the display will show ppmn or mg/m3n. Note
with a high CO sensor fitted the reading will be displayed in percentage %.
EFF (G) : Combustion Efficiency calculation displayed in percentage. Gross (G)
or Net (N) can be set. The calculation is determined by fuel type see
Appendix for calculation. The efficiency is displayed during a combustion test,
00.0 is displayed while in fresh air.
• CO2: Carbon dioxide reading in percentage % when measured, not calculated
• CO2c: Carbon dioxide calculation determined by the type of fuel. This only shows a
reading when a combustion test is being carried out. Zero (0.0) is displayed
while in fresh air.
40
• FLUE : Temperature measured by flue gas probe in Centigrade or Fahrenheit. Will
show ambient temperature after fresh air calibration and N\F if probe
disconnected.
• INLET : Temperature measured by the optional inlet air probe or stored using the Flue
probe. The air probe is plugged into the instrument through the INLET socket.
This figure is used to calculate the NET temperature instead of AMBIENT
when fitted. Will show N\F if not fitted.
• AMBIENT : Temperature measured by the internal sensor, used in the NET temperature
• CO/CO2 R : The CO/CO2 ratio, is the ratio of measured CO divided by CO2.
It gives an indication of the following :- How good a gas sample the instrument
is reading. How clean the boiler is running. For example : A new or clean
domestic boiler will display a ratio of less than 0.004, a unit in need of cleaning
0.0040-0.0080 and a unit in need of major overhaul will show greater than
0.008. This only shows a reading when a combustion test is being carried out.
0.0000 is displayed while in fresh air.
• P INDEX : The CO/CO2 ratio expressed as a percentage %, called the ‘Poison Index”
i.e. P INDEX % = 100 x CO/CO2. 0.00 is displayed while in fresh air.
• XAIR % : Excess air calculated from the measured oxygen and type of fuel used.
Displays reading during a combustion test +++ is displayed while in fresh air.
• PRESSURE: Pressure reading. Units can be changed to different scales.
• NO: Nitric oxide reading in ppm or mg/m3. Displayed when nitric oxide sensor
fitted. Reading can also be referenced to oxygen ppmn or mg/m3n.
• NO2: Nitrogen dioxide reading in ppm or mg/m3. Displayed when nitrogen dioxide
sensor fitted. Reading can also be referenced to oxygen ppmn or mg/m3n.
• NOx : Calculated total nitric oxides displayed in ppm or mg/m3.
Reading can also be referenced to oxygen ppmn or mg/m3n.
• SO2 : Sulphur dioxide reading in ppm or mg/m3. Displayed when sulphur dioxide
sensor fitted. Reading can also be referenced to oxygen ppmn or mg/m3n.
• H2S: Hydrogen sulphide reading in ppm or mg/m3. Displayed when Hydrogen
sulphide fitted. Reading can also be referenced to oxygen ppmn or mg/m3n.
• HC : Unburnt Hydrocarbon reading in % of LEL of methane, the sensor is calibrated
with methane. Displayed when a Hydrocarbon sensor fitted.
LEL is the Lower Explosive Limit of a gas when mixed with air, for methane
this has the ratio of 19:1 Air:methane. Below the LEL the mixture can not
ignite and burn. In the Flue an unburnt Hydrocarbons should be well below
this level or there is the potential for an explosion.
• LOSS : Total losses calculated from Combustion Theory. This is the summation of the
next three parameters.
• DRY : Calculated heat lost in turning the carbon in the fuel to carbon dioxide (CO2).
• WET : Calculated heat lost in turning the hydrogen in the fuel into water (H2O).
• CO LOSS % : Calculated loss due to partially burnt carbon. Any carbon monoxide (CO) in the
flue has the potential to be turned into carbon dioxide and release more heat,
hence this heat is lost up the flue.

B. NOx CALCULATIONS
ONLY AN NO SENSOR FITTED
• WORKING IN PPM: NOx REFERENCED TO NO
The user can select the assumed NO2 percentage and the O2 normalized level then: NOx in ppm = NO in
ppm multiplied by (1 + assumed NO2 percentage) in this setup NOx can only be displayed as NOx = NO
then normalizing:
NO in ppmn = NO in ppm multiplied by (21 minus the O2 norm setting) and then divided by (21 minus the
actual O2 reading)
For a worked example assume:
NO is 1000ppm
NO2 is 5% of NO
O2norm is set to 3%
actual O2 is zero
NOx in ppm = 1000 x (1 +5/100) =1000 x1.05 = 1050 ppm
NO ppmn = 1000 x (21 - 3)/(21-0) = 1000 x 18 / 21 = 857 ppmn
NOx ppmn = 1050 x 18 / 21 = 900 ppmn
or
NOx ppmn = 857 x 1.05 = 900 ppmn
• WORKING IN MG/M3: NOx REFERENCED TO NO OR NO2
The user can select the assumed NO2 percentage, the O2 reference level and whether the NOx reading is
referenced to NO or NO2
• WORKING IN MG/M3: REFERENCED TO NO
NO in mg/m3 = NO in ppm multiplied by 1.34
NOx in mg/m3 = NO in mg/m3 multiplied by (1 + assumed NO2 percentage)
• WORKING IN MG/M3: NOx REFERENCED TO NO2
NOx in mg/m3 = NO in ppm multiplied by 2.05 multiplied by (1 + assumed NO2 percentage)
or
NOx in mg/m3 = NO in mg/m3 divided by 1.34, multiplied by 2.05 and multiplied by (1 +assumed NO2
percentage)
• NORMALIZING READINGS
normalized reading = initial reading multiplied by (21 minus the O2norm setting) and then divided by (21
minus the actual O2 reading)
42
BOTH NO AND NO2 SENSORS FITTED
• WORKING IN PPM: NOx = NO + NO2
normalizing readings
ppmn = initial reading in ppm multiplied by (21 minus the O2 norm setting) and then divided by (21 minus
the actual O2 reading)
• WORKING IN MG/M3
The user can select how the readings are referenced.
NOx = SUM
NOx = NO
NOx = NO2
• NOx = SUM
NOx in mg/m3 = NO in ppm multiplied by 1.34 plus NO2 in ppm multiplied by 2.05
• NOx = NO
NOx in mg/m3 = (NO in ppm plus NO2 in ppm) multiplied by 1.34
• NOx = NO2
NOx in mg/m3 = (NO in ppm plus NO2 in ppm) multiplied by 2.05
• NORMALIZING READINGS
ppmn = initial reading in ppm multiplied by (21 minus the O2norm setting) and then divided by (21 minus
the actual O2 reading)
mg/m3n = initial reading in mg/m3 multiplied by (21 minus the O2norm setting) and then divided by (21
minus the actual O2 reading)
ONLY AN NO2 SENSOR FITTED
When there is only an NO2 sensor fitted the NOx function is disabled
NO2 in mg/m3 = NO2 in ppm multiplied by 2.05
• NORMALIZING READINGS
ppmn = initial reading in ppm multiplied by (21 minus the O2norm setting) and then divided by (21 minus
the actual O2 reading)
mg/m3n = initial reading in mg/m3 multiplied by (21 minus the O2norm setting) and then divided by (21
minus the actual O2 reading)
43
HIGH CO PURGE OPERATION
If there is a requirement to measure CO to concentrations above 10,000ppm then a High Purge module
should be fitted (this comprises both a purge pump and a solenoid) in addition to the IR triple gas bench.
When the electrochemical sensor’s reading passes 9800ppm the solenoid operates and the high purge
pump switches on and pumps fresh air across the electrochemical CO sensor. The displayed reading
changes at this point from ppm to % as measured by the IR module.
When the reading from the IR module falls below 0.95% the solenoid is deactivated and the high purge
pump stopped. After a short time the displayed reading will revert to ppm. There may be a small perturbation in readings at the point of changeover.
C. COMBUSTION EFFICIENCY CALCULATION
The efficiency calculation is based upon British Standard BS845.
This identifies three sources of loss associated with fuel burning:
• LOSSES DUE TO FLUE GASSES: Dry Flue gas loss,
Moisture and hydrogen
Sensible heat of water vapor
Unburned gas
• LOSSES DUE TO REFUSE: Combustible in ash
Combustible in riddlings
Combustible in dust
• OTHER LOSSES: Radiation
Convection
Conduction
Other unmeasured losses
Net efficiency calculations assume that the energy contained in the water vapor (formed as a product of
combustion and from wet fuel) is recovered and the wet loss term is zero. Gross efficiency calculations
assume that the energy contained in the water vapor is not recovered.
Since the fuel air mixture is never consistent there is the possibility of unburned/partially unburned fuel
passing through the flue. This is represented by the unburned carbon loss.
Losses due to combustible matter in ashes, riddlings, dust and grit, radiation, convection and conduction
are not included.
44
EFFICIENCY CALCULATION:
• KNOWN DATA Fuel: Qgr = Gross Calorific Value (kJ/kg)
Qnet = Net Calorific Value (kJ/kg)
K1 = Constant based on Gross or Net Calorific Value:
K1g = ( 255 x %carbon in fuel )/Qgr
K1n = ( 255 x %carbon in fuel )/Qnet
K2 = % max theoretical CO2 (dry basis)
K3 = % Wet Loss
• MEASURED DATA: Tf = Flue Temperature
Ti = Inlet Temperature
O2m = % Oxygen in flue gas
• CALCULATED DATA: Tnet = Net Temperature
% CO2 content in flue gas
% Dry Flue Gas losses
% Wet losses
% Unburned carbon loss
% Efficiency
%CO2 = (20.9 - %O2m) x K2 / 20.9
Tnet = Flue Temperature - Inlet Temperature
Dry flue gas loss = 20.9 x K1n x (Tnet) / K2 x (20.9 - %O2m)
Wet loss = 9 x %H2 + %H2O / Qgr x [2488 + 2.1Tf - 4.2 Ti]
Simplified = [(9 x %H2 + %H2O) / Qgr] x 2425 x [1 + 0.001 Tnet]
Wet loss = K3(1+0.001xTnet)
Where K3 = [(9 x %H2 + %H2O) / Qgr] x 2425
Net Efficiency = 100% - dry flue gas losses
= 100% - 20.9 x K1n x (Tnet) / K2 x (20.9 - % O2m)
Gross Efficiency = 100% - {dry flue gas losses + wet losses}
= 100% - [20.9 x K1g x (Tnet) / K2 x (20.9 - %O2m)] + [K3 x (1 + 0.001 x Tnett)]
Excess Air = [(20.9% / (20.9% - 02m%)) – 1] x 100%
CO2% = [(20.9% - O2m%) x K2% / 20.9%]
Unburned fuel Loss = K4 x CO% / ( CO% + CO2% )
Where K4 = 70 for coke
= 65 for anthracite
= 63 for Bituminous coal
= 62 for coal tar fuel
= 48 for liquid petroleum fuel
= 32 for natural gas
The formula for K4 is based on the gross calorific value Qgr. To obtain the loss based on net calorific
value multiply by Qgr/Qnet. Since this loss is usually small this conversion has been ignored.
45
OXYGEN REFERENCE
CO(n) = CO x (20.9 - O2r)
(20.9 - O2m)
D. CALCULATION OF FUEL DATA
For any fuel not specified by Kane International the net calorific value, gross calorific value and composition should be obtained from the fuel supplier.
The following fuel data has been calculated with reference to the efficiency calculation.
Example 1:
Chemical composition: C 25%
H2 3%
H2O 50%
Qnet 8.35 MJ/kg
Qg 9.3 MJ/kg *
Max CO2 20.4%
K1n = (255 x % carbon in fuel) / Qnet (kJ/Kg)
= (255 x 25) / 8350 = 0.763
K1g = (255 x % carbon in fuel) / Qg (kJ/Kg)
= (255 x 25) / 9300 = 0.685
K2 = Max % CO2 = 20.40
K3 = Wet Loss = [(9 x %H2 + %H2O) / 9300] x 2425
= [(9 x 3 + 50) / 9300] x 2425
= (77 / 9300) x 2425 = 20.08
K4 = 65 (an approximation for wood) *
The fuel values to program into the Analyzer are as follows:
NATURAL GAS
K1g : 0.763 K1n : 0.685
K_2 : 20.4 K_3 : 20.08
K_4 : 65 O2r : 8.0
* Assumed values in the absence of supplied data. See previous appendix for other fuels.
