KANE101 OVERVIEW

The KANE101 tests for ambient CO and ambient CO2concentrations.

Optionally it will also measure ozone and with an external wand

temperature, humidity and airflow

The large display shows 6 lines of data which can be printed via an

optional infrared printer. The printed data can be 'live' data or 'stored

data'. Data can also be transferred wireless to an Android Printer App or

KANE LIVE software.

The KANE101 is controlled using 4 buttons and a rotary dial.

The four buttons (from left to right)

switch the instrument on and off, or temporarily hold or ‘freeze’

the current reading.

print actual or saved data, switch the backlight on and off,

switch the pump on and off

The buttons with , and also change settings such as date, time,

when in menu mode.

The KANE101 can store up to 142 store locations –40 AUX, 40 Ambient

CO2/CO, 40 IAQ, 2 Timed Logs up to 240 tests and 20 Room test.

The KANE101 is powered by internal re-chargeable NiMH batteries. The

internal battery will power the analyser for about 6Hr, from full charge.

The KANE101 has a protective rubber sleeve with a magnet for “hands–

free” operation.

NOTE: Fresh air is referred to in this manual. Sometimes it may be

convenient to use thin flexible tubing (min ID. 3mm.) to supply

fresh outside air, if a tube is used ensure that the inlet is at least

1 meter away from any possible source of CO2such as an open

window.

Fuel combustion of any sort may cause high and fluctuating

levels of CO2over surprisingly large areas. Exhaled breath can

easily reach 20,000ppm.

The air in a sealed room is not really fresh so it is really

important to use outside fresh air away from flues, car

exhausts etc

2. BATTERIES

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.

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

3. BEFORE USING THE ANALYSER FOR THE FIRST

TIME:

Set the correct time, date etc, after it is switched on and calibrated –See

USING THE ROTARY DIAL below. These are stored when the analyser

is switched off.

4. BEFORE USING THE ANALYSER EVERY TIME:

Check the water trap is empty and the particle filter is not dirty:

- To empty the water trap, unscrew its red stopper and re-screw

once it is empty.

- To change the filter, remove protective rubber sleeve, pull out the

water trap , remove the water trap’s particle filter from the spigot

and replace. Reconnect the water trap and rubber protective

sleeve.

Remember to always switch on in outside fresh air.

After switch on check that date and time are correct and battery power is

sufficient.

Avoid exposing the instrument to sudden large temperature changes,

and ensure that the unit reads zero for CO and approx. 400 ppm CO2in

fresh outside air before use. If necessary re-zero.

SAFETY WARNING

This analyser can be used to extract 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.

It is recommended that the analyser is switched on in outside fresh

air so that the levels of CO when entering a premise can be

measured and any potential danger can be spotted.

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).

5. USING THE ANALYSER AND ITS FOUR BUTTONS:

Switching

ON the

analyser

Or HOLD

the

readings

Press the button to switch the unit ON outside in

fresh air. This allows the analyser’s sensors to be

calibrated. This will set CO to zero and CO2to around 400

ppm .

At switch on, the analyser beeps four times and displays

the model number. The bottom line counts down from

typically 90 seconds.

When the analyser is running in measurement mode a

quick press of this key will HOLD the reading. Another

quick press will release the readings.

Switching

OFF the

analyser

Press the button to switch the analyser OFF. The

display counts down from 30 with the pump on to allow time

for the sensors to be cleaned or purged with fresh air. If the

probe is connected, make sure both analyser and probe are

in fresh air.

Press / if you want to stop the count-down to off

and return to making measurements.

Using 

/ /

Buttons

Once the “on” countdown has been completed:

Use the / / keys to change settings (such as

time and date ) when the rotary dial is turned to MENU.

Use the



key

Press to save readings if memory locations are available.

The display will flash LOG xxx (or FULL) to give the store

location of the saved data.
