OVERVIEW The direct measurement of CO2 is achieved using UEi’s own EOS technology sensor. CO2 is set to zero in fresh air automatically after the initial 60 second countdown. If “ZERO CO2” is indicated, ensure the unit is in outside fresh air before selecting the “Purge” option. It is very important that re-zeroing is done in outside fresh air as indoor CO2 levels are affected by human breath.
EMPTYING & CLEANING THE IN-LINE WATER TRAP • Remove the rubber plug • Allow the water to drain out • Re-insert the rubber plug CHANGING THE PARTICLE FILTER • Remove the protective rubber boot • Slide the water trap unit from the analyzer • Remove the particle filter from its’ spigot and replace • Slide the water trap back into position and replace protective rubber boot QUICK START Turn on the analyzer by pressing the On/Off Button for 2 seconds until the unit activates.
DISPLAY PARAMETERS The large display is backlit with 6 lines, the last line is the Status Bar line.

STATUS BAR Status Bar Icons The icons are designed to provide quick and simple instrument status information without having to navigate complicated menu systems or detract from the job at hand. Status Bar Icon Layout Pump Pump on Pump Pump paused Sending Data Indicates data is being transmitted to either the App or the Printer Battery Battery Status indication Status Bar Menu Options The Status Bar will offer the user Menu items based on the Selector Dial setting.
MENU Using the Menu The Menu position on the Rotary Dial allows for the customization of the default settings for the analyzer as per the user’s requirements. Navigation through the Menu system is via the dedicated user’s interface buttons (Up, Down, Enter). Menu Option to edit As you navigate up or down through the Menu, the items will scroll accordingly, eventually back to the beginning. Rotate Selector Dial to MENU to set up or customize your settings.
STORED LOGS MEMORY The C161 utilizes a shared memory system much like a computer hard drive. The different Log types are stored sequentially until the shared memory area is full. This means the log types are not restricted to a smaller number of memory locations as the full memory capacity is available as required for Logs of any type. To view the current memory usage status simply navigate to menu -----> LOGS, press the button to select the Log desired.
Viewing Stored Logs Once the view has been selected from the Logs Menu the following screen will be displayed: List of available Logs (Navigation and selection via the , and buttons). Log View Menu Options View stored Combustion Logs (Option will appear if Logs are available). View stored Auxiliary Logs (Option will appear if Logs are available). P TEM FLUE 2 E1 FLU AU Number of stored Temperature Logs and “Pressure if fitted” (Option will appear if Logs are available).
Log Navigation Menu Options Print the currently selected Log Navigate to the next available Log of the selected type (Option will only appear if there is more than one Log). Navigate to the previously selected Log of the selected type (Option will only appear if there is more than one Log). Exit back to the previous menu. TEMPERATURE TESTING Select the Temperature Rotary Dial position. Temperature Display Pressure will only show if fitted Use the T1 connection for the Supply temperature sensor.
PRINTOUTS Selecting a Printer Rotate selector Dial to Menu Position. or buttons to scroll to IR PRINT. Use Press button. Use or buttons to select either IRP-2 or KMIRP (KMIRP2) printer. Press button to save selection. Printing To print, simply press and release the PRINT BUTTON. Printing can be aborted by pressing the PRINT BUTTON again.

POWERING OFF When you power off the C161, there is a 10 second purge. Make sure you do not exceed the analyzer’s operating specifications.
REPLACING THE BATTERIES This meter has been designed for use with both alkaline and rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries. No other types are recommended and will void warranty. The analyzer is supplied with 3 (AA) size NiMH rechargeable batteries. These should be installed into the instrument. CAUTION Take great care when installing the batteries to observe correct polarity. Always check the meter for operation immediately after installing new batteries.
USA ANNUAL RECERTIFICATION SERVICES Complete care for your C160 series combustion analyzer. When you: BACKED BY Request Recertification or Service Online Within 1 Year of Purchase or Service UEi will: 6-Year Warranty: All UEi combustion analyzers have a standard 1-year warranty. Each recertification in- cludes a 30-point inspection and extends the warranty for 1 more year for up to 6 years from the date of warranty.

OTHER IMPORTANT FACTORS RELATING TO COMBUSTION The three T’s of combustion • Time: Amount of time that the fuel and oxygen are together in the combustion chamber • Temperature: How high the temperature is determines the rate of oxidation, or spread of combustion • Turbulence: How well the fuel and air are mixed These three factors are all interrelated and will move your results along the combustion curves. COMBUSTION MEASUREMENT TERMS Other parameters measured include Nett temperature, draft and efficiency.
DISPOSAL Caution: This symbol indicates that equipment and its accessories shall be subject to separate collection and correct disposal. CLEANING: Periodically clean your meters’ case using a damp cloth. DO NOT use abrasive, flammable liquids, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents as they may damage the finish, impair safety, or affect the reliability of the structural components. STORAGE: Remove the batteries when instrument is not in use for a prolonged period of time.
