Quick Start Guide Combustion Gas Analyzer This quick guide provides basic setup, operating and maintenance information for the Fyrite® INSIGHT. If required, more detailed information concerning the analyzer’s technical specifications, operation, set-up, calibration, and parts list can be downloaded from MyBacharach.com/insight (P/N 24-9460) .

Setting Up the Analyzer Front Panel Push Buttons Note that a push button may perform several functions, depending on the analyzer’s model number and what screen is being displayed at the time. • Turns the analyzer ON and OFF. • Turns the backlight ON and OFF while the analyzer is turned ON. • Scrolls up, down, left, and right through the display screen options. • Causes the displayed value to increase or decrease correspondingly. • Acts as an ENTER button. Performs the action selected.
Operating Tips 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. When an analyzer is brought in from a cold vehicle, let it warm up slowly to minimize condensation. Temperatures below freezing will not damage the analyzer; however, bringing a cold analyzer into a warm, humid environment may cause condensate to form inside the case. Caution: Although the analyzer itself is not damaged by an extremely cold environment, the electrochemical sensors may be damaged.
Performing Tests Make sure that the sample point is before any draft diverter/hood or barometric damper so that the flue gasses are not diluted and the stack temperature has not been decreased by surrounding air used to balance the draft. The sample point should also be as close to the breach area as possible, again, to obtain an accurate stack temperature. This will also provide a more accurate O 2 reading should air be entering the flue gas stream through joints in sheet metal vent connectors.
Performing Tests Boilers, which have a ‘bell’ shaped draft diverter directly on top, should be tested directly below the diverter through a hole-drilled in the vent connector. Should draft tests below the diverter measure insufficient draft levels, an additional test should be performed above the diverter to determine if the reason for insufficient draft is related to a chimney problem or a draft hood problem.
Performing Tests Diagnostics Menu 1. In the MAIN MENU highlight the DIAGNOSTICS MENU and select ENTER. This screen allows you to look at the total run times for the instrument, check O 2 and CO sensor status and thermocouple output. Turning Off the Analyzer 1. 2. 3. Before turning off the instrument, disconnect the hose and probe assembly and check the water trap for moisture, empty if necessary.
B-Smart Sensors ™ The Fyrite® INSIGHT utilizes Bacharach’s new Smart Sensor technology for its CO sensors. B-Smart™ sensors are market with a 10-Digit Calibration Code that can be entered in the B-Smart™ calibration screen. Once the B-Smart™ code is entered and the sensor is installed the CO channel is calibrated. Benefits of Smart Sensors: a. b. c. d. New sensors can be installed without needing to be calibrated. Sensors can be pre-calibrated and installed when needed.
Setting Up the Analyzer Preliminary Steps Before using the analyzer . . . • Check batteries • Connect probe to analyzer • Check setup Analyzer Turn On and Warm up 1. 2. 3. 4. Remove the back cover and install the 4 AA batteries. Connect the probe and hose assembly. Note the combustion hose fitting is slightly larger in diameter than the pressure hose fitting. The stack thermocouple plugs into the yellow connector on the left hand side with the wider prong on the right.
Setting Up the Analyzer Setup 1. The analyzer is preset at the factory for the parameters shown below, but can be changed as described in their associated sections. The functions include: 2. 3. 4. Fuel (8 options) Temperature Unit (Fahrenheit/Celsius) Pressure Units (Inches of water column, Pascals, etc.
Performing Tests Performing a Combustion Test Using the Fyrite® INSIGHT After the analyzer is powered up and the appropriate fuel selected, insert the probe in the proper sample location for the equipment being tested. Contact the manufacturer of specific equipment or consult the manufacturers’ literature to determine the proper sample locations for combustion/carbon monoxide, stack temperature and draft tests.
Performing Tests Condensing furnaces/boilers can be tested through a hole drilled in the plastic vent pipe (when allowed by the manufacturer or ‘local authority of jurisdiction) or taken from the exhaust termination. In order to obtain an accurate Steady State Efficiency reading, an auxiliary thermocouple must be inserted in the combustion air intake so that a true net stack temperature is used in the calculation.
Performing Tests Pressure 1. 2 To measure draft, gas pressure, External Static Pressure, differential pressure, troubleshoot pressure sensors, etc, press the F2 button to go to the MAIN MENU. Press the scroll down button once to Highlight PRESSURE and press the center, green, ENTER button. Press the F2 button to ZERO the pressure channel and follow the prompts in the screen. Press the ESC button at any time to return to the previous screen. Temperature (Differential) 1. a.
Connecting the INSIGHT Computer to InSight Connection & USB Device Driver Configuration Connect the USB cable (P/N 104-4032) that was supplied with the InSight, and, if necessary, install the analyzer’s USB device driver as follows: 1. With both the Insight and computer turned ON, insert the appropriate ends of the USB cable into the USB connectors on the Insight and computer as seen below. 2.
Potential Error Messages 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 15 O2 SENSOR MISSING - The O 2 sensor is not installed. T-STK DISCONNECTED - The probe thermocouple is not connected to the analyzer’s T-Stack connector. Plug the probe thermocouple plug into the T-Stack connector at the bottom of the instrument. BAD SENSOR - O 2 sensor is too low and can not be calibrated in the instrument and needs replaced. LOW SENSORS - O 2 or CO sensor outputs were low but still usable.
