Fyrite® INSIGHT Fyrite® INSIGHT 4.0 OPERATION 4.2 Analyzer Power On & Warm Up 1. Connect the probe and make sure that the analyzer is properly set up per Section 3. 4.1 Operating Tips • 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.
Fyrite® INSIGHT Fyrite® INSIGHT 1. Press the RUN/HOLD button to start the test. You should hear the pump start running and see the word RUN appear at the top of the Combustion Test screen. 4. Press ENTER to save the selection and return to the Combustion Test HOLD screen or ESC to revert to the previous setting and return to the MAIN MENU. Sensor Indicators: The following indicators appear in the sensor's data field depending on certain conditions: 4.
Fyrite® INSIGHT Fyrite® INSIGHT 4.6 Making a Draft / Pressure Measurement Undiluted Flue Gas Sample Taken Under Draft Diverter in Top of Fire Tube The difference in pressure (ΔP) between two areas can be measured by using the analyzer's two pressure ports and the PRESSURE screen. By using the -ΔP port as the reference, the pressure applied to the +ΔP port will be displayed on the PRESSURE screen as the differential pressure between the two ports. Perform a draft / pressure measurement as follows: 1.
Fyrite® INSIGHT Fyrite® INSIGHT sured. The differential pressure between the two areas is now displayed on the PRESSURE screen. If the pressure at the +ΔP port is higher than the -ΔP port, the pressure reading will be positive. If it is lower, the reading will be negative. 4.7 Temperature Measurement The difference in temperature between two areas can be measured by using the analyzer's two temperature channels and the Temperature Screen.
Fyrite® INSIGHT Fyrite® INSIGHT 4.11 Powering OFF the Analyzer & Purging Power OFF the analyzer by pressing the PWR button for at least 2 seconds, or until two beeps are heard. The unit will count down 5 seconds before shutting down, giving the operator an opportunity to keep the analyzer powered ON by pressing the RUN/HOLD button.
