KANE458 OVERVIEW
The KANE 458 is based on the KANE456 with the addition of a dilution
pump which helps to protect the CO sensor from high concentration that
otherwise might damage the sensor.

The KANE458 Combustion Analyser measures carbon dioxide (CO2),

carbon monoxide (CO), differential temperature and differential pressure.
The direct measurement of CO2 is achieved using a Kane designed infra-
red 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

(Net or Condensing Gross).

The KANE458 Combustion Analyser 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 analyser 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.

Page 5
The memory can store up to:

60 combustion tests
20 AUX tests
20 let-by/tightness 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 Kane IRP printers with ‘fast print’
capability using the IRP2 printer. Alternatively the analyser can be
equipped with optional wireless communications to either Android or
Apple devices.

The analyser is controlled using 4 function buttons and a rotary dial.

The four buttons (from left to right) switch on and off the analyser, switch
on and off the torch light, 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.

Battery Type
This analyser 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 analyser, 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.

Switch the analyser on and check that the analyser’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 19278.

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.

An in-vehicle charger can be used to top up the analyser's batteries from a 12 volt
vehicle battery. The part number is 18342.

Battery Disposal
Always dispose of depleted batteries using approved disposal methods that protect
the environment.

Page 9
2. BEFORE USING THE ANALYSER EVERY TIME:
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 analyser, 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 analyser’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 6.

2.1 FRESH AIR PURGE

SAFETY WARNING

This analyser extracts combustion gases that may be toxic in relatively low
concentrations. These gases are exhausted from the back of the instrument. This
analyser 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).

modes and save you time.

Press / button to switch the unit ON. This must be

done in fresh air to ensure that the analyser auto calibrates its
sensors properly.
When switched on, the analyser beeps and briefly displays
software version, date and time. Its bottom line counts down until
the sensors are ready to use. If the analyser will not auto calibrate,
its sensors need to be replaced or recalibrated by an authorised
repair centre.
If an inlet temperature probe (optional) is connected into the T2
socket during its countdown, the measured temperature from the
inlet probe will be used as the inlet temperature.
If an inlet temperature probe is not connected to the analyser
during countdown the measured temperature from the flue probe
will be used as the inlet temperature.
If neither probe is connected during countdown the analyser’s
internal ambient temperature will be used as the inlet temperature.

Switching OFF Press / & hold for 2 seconds to switch the analyser
the Analyser OFF. The display counts down from 30 or less with the pump on to
clear the sensors with fresh air – If the probe is still connected,
make sure analyser and probe are in fresh air.

4.2 COMMISSIONING TEST
The Commissioning Test is based on TB143

Rotate the dial to COM TEST position and follow the instructions on the screen

TEST 1 check the boiler at Max Gas rate.

The boiler is switched on at Max rate.

The analyser is first zeroed in outside fresh air.

Once the boiler is stable at max gas flow rate the probe is inserted into the air inlet of
the flue and the CO2 level is measure. 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 manufacturers 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 minimum gas flow rate where this is possible.

With the boiler operating stably at minimum gas 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 RATIO
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.

7. MEASURING FLUE GASES
After the countdown is finished and the analyser is correctly set up, put its flue probe
into the appliance’s sampling point. The tip of the probe should be at the centre 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 analyser’s operating specifications. In particular:

 Do not exceed the flue probe’s maximum temperature (600oC)

 Do not exceed the analyser’s internal temperature operating range
 Do not put the analyser on a hot surface
 Do not exceed the water trap’s levels
 Do not let the analyser’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.

Press and quickly release / to start the analyser printing. The analyser
displays a series of bars until this is completed. Press and release the key again to
abort printing.

Make sure the printer is switched on, ready to accept data and its infrared receiver is
in line with the analyser’s emitter (on top of the analyser).

CO PROTECTION PUMP OPERATION

CO Protection pump operation is totally automatic. When the analyser measures a

CO concentration of 2000ppm the pump is switched on. The main pump is
switched off and the display shows P-OFF until the gas in the sensor is below
2000ppm.

DILUT flashes on the screen to indicate that the CO measurement has been diluted.

The time taken for the CO sensor to return to zero takes much longer after it has
been exposed to high levels of CO.

The CO high warning still operates whenever the CO reading is above 400 ppm until
the dilution pump operates..

Although sensor life is typically more than five years, the analyser should
be serviced and re-certified annually to counter any long-term sensor or
electronics drift or accidental damage.

Local regulations may require more frequent re-certification.

Kane International has service facilities at Atherton near Manchester Tel:

01942-873434 (the primary service centre for UK customers) and at
Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire Tel: 01707-375550 (the primary
service centre for non-UK customers).

By sending your analyser back to Kane for an annual fixed price service
(check www.kane.co.uk for details) you have the opportunity to extend
the warranty on your analyser to 5 years.

12.1 SERVICE - CALIBRATE - RECERTIFY

YOU CAN COUNT THE REASONS WHY ON ONE HAND!

1. Fixed prices ensure you know the full cost of ownership before you
buy.

2. Flue Gas Analysers will drift out of calibration over time – only Kane
can adjust them back to the manufacturers' specification & return
them as accurate as when they were purchased.

3. Analysers always seem to require a service when you need them

most! Kane's two UK Service Centres pride themselves on their fast
service turnaround times.

4. Every Kane analyser is returned with a fully traceable calibration

certificate & another 12 months warranty. After 6 years, warranty
becomes limited to replacement parts only.

5. In some cases an out-of-calibration analyser means any combustion

reports you produce are invalid, so it is very important you get your
analyser recertified

13. COLD WEATHER PRECAUTIONS

It is important you keep your flue gas analyser 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 analyser’s performance &
cause permanent damage

Electrochemical sensors used in flue gas analysers can be affected by

condensation or water being sucked into the analyser, 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 analyser is affected by condensation or water

ingress, it may be possible to rectify the problem yourself. Simple leave
the analyser 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
Centres.

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 analyser
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
analyser before use by:
Use the normal start up sequence in the location where the analyser 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 analyser’s position to minimize interference or
switch off, if possible, the offending equipment during your test.
At the time of writing this manual (January 2017) Kane International Ltd are 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:

EN 61000-6-3 : 2011
EN 61000-6-1 : 2007

and is certified to be compliant

16. END OF LIFE DISPOSAL

The Waste Electrical or Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive requires countries in
the EU to maximise collection and environrmentally responsible processing of these
items.

Products are now labelled with a crossed out wheeled bin symbol to remind you that
they can be recycled.

Please Note: Batteries used in this instrument should be disposed of in accordance

with current legislation and local guidelines.

17. EN 50379 REGULATED INSTRUCTIONS
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 KANE458 is compliant the EN 50379 Part 2 and Part 3.

b) The KANE458 is intended to be used with the following fuels:

Natural gas
Light oil (28/35 sec)
Propane
LPG
Wood pellets
Butane

c) The KANE458 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 KANE458 is rated for indoor use only. Its
voltage input must be in the range 100 – 240 V ac at 50 – 60 Hz with a current
capability of 0.3 A. The chargers output voltage is 9 V 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 KANE458.

d) The KANE458 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 analyser’s display is given in

Appendix 1 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)

Page 50
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, vapour or gases may affect the operation
of the KANE458 in the long or the short term though in normal use Kane
International Ltd 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 KANE458 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 KANE458 is designed to operate at ambient temperatures in the range 0oC

to +45oC with relative humidity of 10% to 90% non-condensing. Whilst it is
recommended that the analyser is given the protection of a carry case during
transportation it is not required for normal operation.

k) The KANE458 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 analysers give a zero output when they fail
and it is widely recommended that analysers are regularly checked (also known
as a bump test) using either a can of test gas or a known source of combustion
products.

The KANE458 must have its calibration checked on an annual basis and be
issued with a traceable Certificate of Calibration.

The sensor within the KANE458 can only be replaced by Kane International Ltd
or one of its trained and approved service partners.

Page 51
 The water trap should be checked on a regular basis whilst the analyser is in
use (every few minutes) as the amount of condensate generated 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 Section 2 of this manual.

m) WARNING!
When using a KANE458 to test an appliance a full visual inspection of the
appliance, in accordance with its manufacturer’s instructions, must also be
carried out.
