OVERVIEW The C165+ Combustion Analyzer measures CO, CO2, differential temperature and differential pressure. CO2 is set to zero in fresh air automatically after the initial countdown. 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, Nett, Gross Condensing, or Nett Condensing).
PRE TEST CHECKLIST • • • • Clean particle filter Water trap and probe line are empty of water Power on and zero All hose and thermocouple connections are properly secured • • • • Flue gas probe is sampling ambient FRESH air Water trap is fitted correctly to the instrument Flue temperature plug is connected Ensure water trap plug is inserted correctly SETTING INLET TEMPERATURE • Turn on and zero the analyzer, without the flue probe connected, to use ambient temperature • Connect the flue probe thermocoup
FRESH AIR PURGE NOTE Each time the analyzer is turned on it will perform a 60 second air purge, this is to clear the gas sampling path (including probe, if connected). For these reasons it is very important that the analyzer be in outside fresh air when powered on. CO OVER-RANGE PROTECTION PUMP The analyzer’s intelligent protection system will automatically activate the protection pump once an over-gas condition is detected (see specification table for detection limits).
USING THE MENU Select “Menu” on the rotary switch and navigate using the function buttons: NOTE: To “EXIT” the “MENU” at any time simply move the rotary switch to any position other than “Menu”. Any changes that have not been “entered” will be ignored.
COMBUSTION TESTS Insert the tip of the flue probe into the center of the flue. The readings will stabilize within 60 seconds assuming the system conditions are stable. The rotary switch can be used to display the following information: O2/Eff Fuel type can be changed via “STATUS” setting. Carbon Dioxide (%) Oxygen (%) left after combustion. Should be 20.9% ± 0.3% in fresh air. Gross efficiency Flue temperature (°F). Inlet temperature (°F). Normally set by flue probe during fresh air purge.
COMBUSTION TEST - OPTIONAL NITRIC OXIDE SENSOR Instructions for C165+ Analyzers fitted with optional Nitric Oxide (NO) sensors Displaying the Nitric Oxide (NO) reading Select “Menu” on the rotary switch and navigate using the function buttons: Select SCREEN and then select AUX Choose a line to display the required readings as below AUX display The AUX (auxiliary) display can be customized via MENU / SCREEN / AUX. The parameters displayed on lines 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 can be set by the user.
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.

POWERING OFF When you power off the C165+, there is a 45 second purge when in O2/Eff, CO, CO2, AUX screens. Make sure you do not exceed the analyzer’s operating specifications.
REPLACING THE BATTERIES This meter has been designed for use with both Alkaline or 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.

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 Net temperature, draft and efficiency.
DISPOSAL Caution: This symbol indicates that equipment and its accessories shall be subject to separate collection and correct disposal. STORAGE Remove the batteries when instrument is not in use for a prolonged period of time. Do not expose to high temperatures or humidity. After a period of storage in extreme conditions exceeding the limits mentioned in the General Specifications section, allow the instrument to return to normal operating conditions before using it.
