The C165 has a dilution pump which helps to protect the CO sensor from high concentration that otherwise might damage the sensor and is designed
specifically for higher altitude applications and use.
The C165 Combustion Analyzer measures carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), differential temperature and differential pressure. The direct
measurement of CO2 is achieved using an infrared sensing system. Below 1% CO2 the readings of CO2 are displayed to two decimal places.
CO2 is set to zero in fresh air automatically after the initial countdown. The countdown varies between 90 and 60 seconds dependent on ambient
temperature.
If “RESET GAS ZERO” is indicated ensure that the unit is in outside fresh air before pressing the button with an “Enter” symbol.
It is important that re-zeroing is done in outside fresh air as indoor CO2 levels are affected by human breath.
It calculates oxygen (O2), CO/CO2 ratio, losses, combustion efficiency (Gross, Gross Condensing, Net or Net Condensing).
The C165 Combustion Analyzer can also measure CO levels in ambient air - useful when a CO Alarm is triggered. It can also perform a Room CO Test
for up to 30 minutes duration.
A structured Commissioning Test has been included for the installation of boilers.
The analyzer has a protective rubber cover with a magnet for “hands–free” operation and is supplied with a flue probe with integral temperature
sensor.
A low flow detection system warns of low flow and switches the pump off. This also helps to prevent water ingress from overfilled water traps.
Its LCD display is protected with a toughened screen.
The large display shows 6 readings at a time and all data can be printed via an optional infrared printer. The printed data can be 'live' data or ‘stored’
data.
The memory can store up to:
60 combustion tests
20 AUX tests
20 heat exchange tests
20 temperature & pressure tests
20 room CO tests
20 commissioning Tests
Two lines of 20 characters can be added to the header of printouts. Printouts can be made on the optional UEi printers with ‘fast print’ capability.
Alternatively, the analyzer can be equipped with optional wireless communications to either Android™ or Apple® devices.
The analyzer is controlled using 4 function buttons and a rotary dial.
The four buttons (from left to right) switch on and off the analyzer, switch on and off the worklight, switch on and off the pump and send data to a
printer or to the memory. The buttons with “UP”, “DOWN” and “ENTER” arrows also change settings such as date, time, fuel, etc. when in “MENU”
mode.
Before using this meter, read all safety information carefully.
“WARNING” is used to indicate conditions or actions that may pose physical hazards to the user.
“CAUTION” is used to indicate conditions or actions that may damage this instrument.
WARNING!
This analyzer extracts combustion gases that may be toxic in relatively low concentrations. These gases are exhausted from
the back of the instrument. This analyzer must only be used in well-ventilated locations by trained and
competent persons after due consideration of all the potential hazards.
Users of portable gas detectors are recommended to conduct a “bump” check before relying on the unit to verify an atmosphere is free from hazard. A “bump” test is a means of verifying that an instrument is working within acceptable limits by
briefly exposing to a known gas mixture formulated to change the output of all the sensors present. (This is different from a
calibration where the instrument is also exposed to a known gas mixture but is allowed to settle to a steady figure and the
reading adjusted to the stated gas concentration of the test gas).
BATTERIES
This analyzer has been designed for use with disposable alkaline batteries or rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries. No other battery
types are recommended.
WARNING!
The battery charger unit must only be used when NiMH batteries are fitted. Do not mix NiMH cells of different
capacities or from different manufacturers. All four cells must be identical
REPLACING BATTERIES
Turn over the analyzer, remove its protective rubber cover and fit 4 “AA” batteries in the battery compartment. Take great care to ensure
they are fitted with the correct battery polarity. Replace the battery cover and protective rubber cover.
Note: When changing the batteries on the instrument the memory will store the date and time for up to one
minute, if outside this time it may be necessary to re-enter the details.
Date and time may also need to be reset if re-chargeable batteries are allowed to totally discharge.
Switch the analyzer on and check that the analyzer’s time and date are correct. To reset see USING THE MENU, Section 5.
CHARGING NIMH BATTERIES
Ensure that you use the correct charger. The part number is AACA4.
To fully charge NiMH batteries:
The charger must be connected and switched on.
When charging, the red Battery Charging Indicator will illuminate.
After a few seconds, the display will show “CHARGING BATTERY” if they need extra charge. If they are already fully charged this message
will not appear.
The first charge should be for 12 hours continuously. NiMH batteries are suitable for top up charging at any time, even for short periods.
BATTERY DISPOSAL
Always dispose of depleted batteries using approved disposal methods that protect the environment.
Check the water trap is empty and the particle filter is not dirty:
To empty water trap, unscrew the red screw plug and re-tighten once it is empty.
To change the particle filter, remove protective rubber cover, slide the water trap unit from the analyzer, remove the particle filter from its
spigot and replace. Reconnect the water trap unit and rubber protective cover.
Connect the flue probe hose to the analyzer’s flue gas inlet and connect the flue probe’s temperature plug to the T1 socket – check the plug’s
orientation is correct - see Page 5.
FRESH AIR PURGE
Position the flue probe in outside fresh air, then press . The analyzer’s pump starts and auto-calibrates. When complete:
Select “FLUE 1” on the dial. In fresh air the O2 reading should be 20.9% ± 0.3%.
Select “FLUE 2” on the dial. In fresh air the CO reading should be zero.

PRINTING and STORING
The NO readings are printed and stored in the same way as the other combustion gas readings. On the printouts the NO readings appear directly
below the flue CO readings.
The dial needs to be in the AUX, Flue 1 or Flue 2 positions to print or store flue combustion readings. When the dilution pump is operating to protect
the CO sensor the NO readings are also affected by an unspecified amount. The screen will typically show:

Introduced in April 2013, Technical Bulletin 143 from the Heating and Hotwater Industry Council (HHIC), outlines a safer, clear and comprehensive
procedure for commissioning condensing boilers without airgas ratio valves.
Rotate the dial to “COM TEST” position and follow the instructions on the screen
TEST 1 check the boiler at High Fire rate.
The boiler is switched on at High Fire rate.
The analyzer is first zeroed in outside fresh air.
Once the boiler is stable at high fire rate the probe is inserted into the air inlet of the flue and the CO2 level is measured. The reading needs to be
stable and less than or equal to 0.20%.
TEST 2
The probe is then inserted into the exhaust outlet of the boiler and the Ratio, CO and CO2 levels are measured. These levels must be as per
manufacturers instruction. Where manufacturer’s instructions are not available the CO must be less than 350 ppm and the RATIO must be less than
0.0040.
TEST 3 checks the boiler at Low Fire flow rate where this is possible.
With the boiler operating stably at Low Fire rate the Ratio, CO and CO2 levels are measured.
These levels must be as per manufacturers instruction. Where manufacturers’ instructions are not available the CO must be less than 350 ppm and
the Flue 2 must be less than 0.0040.
TEST 4 Measures Flow and Return Temperatures from the boiler
All the measured readings are logged and can be printed or transmitted to PC if an optional wireless module is fitted.

WARNING!
Before using the C165 to measure the pressure of a gas/air ratio valve, read the boiler manufacturer’s instructions thoroughly. If in doubt contact the
boiler manufacturer. After adjusting a gas/air ratio valve it is essential that the CO, CO2 and CO/CO2 ratio readings are within the boiler
manufacturer’s specified limits.
If using larger bore tubing when performing pressure tests:
Push ‘orange’ tube over the rim of the spigot to ensure a gas tight seal.
This may not produce a gas tight seal.
HEAT EXCHANGE INTEGRITY TEST
There are many methods to test heat exchange integrity. One of these is to observe the Excess Air, O2 and CO readings both before and after the
blower turns on. If the heat exchanger is sealed, your O2 and CO readings should remain fairly stable. A breach in the heat exchanger may allow fresh
air to be forced into the flue after the blower turns on due to pressure increase in the plenum. The result may be a rise in the measured O2 in the
stack gas and an increase in Excess Air. In some sealed systems the fresh air drawn in through the breach may reduce the combustion air available
leading to an increase in the CO reading. If either of these situations are present it is probable there is a problem with the Heat Exchanger which may
require additional testing and inspections.
NOTE: Many cracks are invisible to borescopes or the naked eye, and only open or separate from pressure or temperature changes during operations.
Rotate dial to “EXCH TEST” Rotate test selector to “EXCH TEST”. Call for heat on the system. Observe and wait for O2 readings to stabilize.

After the countdown is finished and the analyzer is correctly set up, put its flue probe into the appliance’s sampling point. The tip of the probe should
be at the center of the flue. Use the flue probe’s depth stop cone to set the position.
With balanced flues, make sure the probe is positioned far enough into the flue, so no air can ‘back flush’ into the probe.
NOTE: Ensure that the flue probe handle does not get hot!
Make sure you do not exceed the analyzer’s operating specifications. In particular:
• Do not exceed the flue probe’s maximum temperature (1112°F)
• Do not exceed the analyzer’s internal temperature operating range
• Do not put the analyzer on a hot surface
• Do not exceed the water trap’s levels
• Do not let the analyzer’s particle filter become dirty and blocked
View the displayed data to ensure that stable operating conditions have been achieved and the readings are within the expected range.

COLD WEATHER PRECAUTIONS
It is important you keep your flue gas analyzer in a warm place overnight
Electronic devices that become really cold, by being left in a vehicle overnight, suffer when taken into a warm room the next morning. Condensation
may form which can affect the analyzer’s performance & cause permanent damage. See operating and storage temperature specifications.
Electrochemical sensors used in flue gas analyzers can be affected by condensation or water being sucked into the analyzer, as the small apertures
on top of sensors can become blocked with water, stopping sensors seeing flue gas. When this happens, oxygen or carbon dioxide reading will
display as “—” & sensors may be permanently damaged
If you think that your analyzer is affected by condensation or water ingress, it may be possible to rectify the problem yourself. Simple leave the
analyzer running in a warm place, with the pump ‘ON’ sampling fresh air for a few hours (use mains adapter/battery charger if needed). If, after
doing this, you still experience problems please contact our Service Centers.

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
European Council Directive 89/336/EEC requires electronic equipment not to generate electromagnetic disturbances exceeding defined levels and
have adequate immunity levels for normal operation. Specific standards applicable to this analyzer are stated below.
As there are electrical products in use pre-dating this Directive, they may emit excess electromagnetic radiation levels and, occasionally, it may be
appropriate to check the analyzer before use by:
Use the normal start up sequence in the location where the analyzer will be used.
Switch on all localized electrical equipment capable of causing interference.
Check all readings are as expected. A level of disturbance is acceptable.
If not acceptable, adjust the analyzer’s position to minimize interference or switch off, if possible, the offending equipment during your test.
At the time of writing this manual (July 2018) UEi Test Instruments is not aware of any field-based situation where such interference has occurred,
and this advice is only given to satisfy the requirements of the Directive. This product has been tested for compliance with the following generic
standards and is certified to be compliant.
EN 61000-6-3 : 2011
EN 61000-6-1 : 2007
Specification EC/EMC/KI/KANE458 details the specific test configuration, performance and conditions of use.
END OF LIFE DISPOSAL
The Waste Electrical or Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive requires countries in the EU to maximize collection and environmentally responsible
processing of these items. Products are now labelled with a crossed out wheeled bin symbol to remind you that they can be recycled.
Note: Batteries used in this instrument should be disposed of in accordance with current legislation and local guidelines.
EN 50379 Section 4.3.2 “Instructions” defines a number of specific points that must be included in the relevant instruction manuals.
The paragraph numbering below relates to that section of EN 50379.
a) The C165 is compliant the EN 50379 Part 2 and Part 3.
b) The C165 is intended to be used with the following fuels:
Natural gas, Propane, Butane, Light oil (28/35 sec), Wood pellets, Town Gas, Coke Gas, Bio Oil, Bio Gas
c) The C165 is designed for use with either non-rechargeable alkaline AA cells or rechargeable NiMH AA cells. Four cells are needed. Types
cannot be mixed. Under no circumstances should any attempt be made to recharge alkaline cells.
The battery charger supplied with the C165 is rated for indoor use only. Its voltage input must be in the range 100 – 240V AC at 50 – 60Hz
with a current capability of 0.3 A. The chargers output voltage is 9V DC at a maximum of 0.66A.
The charger has no user serviceable components.
Only a correctly specified and rated charger must be used with the C165.
d) The C165 is not designed for continuous use and is not suitable for use as a fixed safety alarm.
e) An explanation of all the symbols used on the analyzer’s display is given in Display Parameters Pg. 8 of this manual.
f) The recommended minimum time required to perform one complete measurement cycle and achieve correct indication of the measured
values in EN 50379 Part 2 is 110 seconds. This is based on the T90 times defined in the standard, always assuming that parameters being
measured have reached stability. This time is the summation of the times for a draught test (10 secs) and a combustion test (90 secs) plus
the time to move the hose connection from the pressure input to the water trap (10 secs)
g) The recommended minimum time required to perform one checking procedure in EN 50379 Part 3 is 110 seconds as described in section f)
above.
h) Some commonly occurring materials, vapor or gases may affect the operation of the C165 in the long or the short term though in normal
use UEi is not aware of any specific issues that have affected the product. The following list is included to satisfy the stated requirements
of EN 50379: Solvents, Cleaning fluids, Polishes, Paints, Petrochemicals, Corrosive gases
i) The C165 is fitted with an electrochemical CO sensor and an infra-red CO2 sensor which have an expected life of more than 5 years. The
calibration of these sensors must be confirmed on an annual basis. The batteries have an expected operational life of more than 500 re-
charge cycles.
j) The C165 is designed to operate at ambient temperatures in the range 32°F to 113°F with relative humidity of 10% to 90% non-condens-
ing. While it is recommended that the analyzer is given the protection of a carry case during transportation it is not required for normal
operation.
k) The C165 has an initial start-up delay following switch on of between 90 and 60 seconds dependent on ambient temperature. There is no
additional delay after battery replacement.
l) Most sensors used in combustion analyzers give a zero output when they fail, and it is widely recommended that analyzers are regularly
checked (also known as a bump test) using either a can of test gas or a known source of combustion products.
The C165 must have its calibration checked on an annual basis and be issued with a Certificate of Calibration.
The sensor within the C165 can only be replaced by UEi Test Instruments.
The water trap should be checked on a regular basis while the analyzer is in use (every few minutes) as the amount of condensate gener-
ated varies with the fuel type, atmospheric conditions and the appliances operating characteristics.
The particle filter should be checked at least on a daily basis when using ‘clean’ fuels and more often when using liquid or solid fuels.
Detailed instructions regarding the changing of the filter and the emptying of the water trap are given in “Before Using the Analyzer” Pg. 7
of this manual.
