KANE457 OVERVIEW
The KANE457 Combustion and Ambient Analyser measures carbon dioxide (CO2),
carbon monoxide (CO), differential temperature and differential pressure. The direct
measurement of CO2 is achieved using a Kane designed infra-red sensing system.
CO2 is measured at both flue gas concentrations and at ambient concentrations using
two separate sensing systems. These sensing systems are automatically
compensated for changes in ambient temperature and in atmospheric pressure.
Flue CO2 in % is set to zero in fresh air automatically after the initial countdown. For
extra accuracy ambient CO2 in ppm is set to a true zero using a Kane 'ZeroCal
Capsule'.
If “RESET GAS ZERO” is indicated ensure that the unit is in fresh air before pressing
the button with an “Enter” symbol.
It calculates oxygen (O2), CO/CO2 ratio, losses, combustion efficiency (Nett, Gross or
Condensing) & excess air.
The KANE457 Combustion Analyser can also measure CO levels in ambient air -
useful when a CO Alarm is triggered. It can also perform a Room CO + CO2 Test for
up to 30 minutes duration.
The analyser has a protective rubber cover with a magnet for “hands–free” operation
and is supplied with a flue probe with integral temperature sensor.
The large display shows 4 readings at a time and all data can be printed via an
optional infrared printer. The printed data can be 'live' data or ‘stored’ data.
The memory can store up to:
99 combustion tests
20 pressure tests
20 let-by/tightness tests
20 temperature tests
20 room tests
20 ambient tests
240 timed tests
Two lines of 20 characters can be added to the header of printouts.
The analyser is controlled using 4 function buttons and a rotary dial.
The four buttons (from left to right) switch on and off the analyser, switch on and off
the backlight and task light, switch on and off the pump and send data to a printer or to
the memory. The buttons with UP, DOWN and ENTER arrows also change settings
such as date, time, fuel, etc. when in MENU mode.

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 sleeve 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 sleeve.
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:
Switch the KANE457 on.
The charger must then be connected and switched on.
When charging, the red Battery Charging Indicator will illuminate.
Now switch the KANE457 off. The display will show “BATTERY CHARGING”
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
KANE457 manual Page 6
BEFORE USING THE ANALYSER EVERY TIME:
Check the water trap is empty and the particle filter is not dirty:
- To empty water trap, unscrew its stopper and re-tighten stopper once the trap is
empty.
- To change the particle filter, remove protective rubber sleeve, slide the water
trap unit from the analyser, remove the particle filter from its’ spigot and replace.
Reconnect the water trap unit and rubber protective sleeve.
Connect the flue probe hose to the analyser’s flue gas inlet and connect the flue
probe’s temperature plug to the T1 socket – check the plug’s orientation is correct -
see Page 6.
FRESH AIR PURGE
Position the flue probe in fresh air, then press / . The analyser’s pump
starts and the analyser auto-calibrates for approximately 90 seconds. When complete:
Select “Ratio” on the dial. In fresh air the CO reading should be zero.
Select “O2/Eff” on the dial. In fresh air the O2 reading should be 20.9% ± 0.2%.
RESET
GAS ZERO
IN FRESH
AIR
This message indicates that the analyser needs to be reset in fresh air. To do so,
ensure that the analyser is in fresh air and press / .
To perform a manual ‘Gas Zero’, select ‘Ratio’ on the dial, hold down the
key and you will see the message above.

due.
NOTE: The typical BAT status symbol for fully charged batteries is 3
bars
SAFETY WARNING
This analyser extracts 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.
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).
KANE457 manual Page 8
USING THE FOUR FUNCTION BUTTONS:
Switching ON the Analyser:
Press / button to switch the unit ON. This must be done in fresh air to
ensure that the analyser auto calibrates its’ sensors properly.
When switched on, the analyser beeps and briefly displays battery %, fuel and
pressure units. Its’ bottom line counts down from 90 until the sensors are ready to
use. If the analyser will not auto calibrate, its’ sensors need to be replaced or
recalibrated by a Kane authorised repair centre.
If an inlet temperature probe (optional) is connected into the T2 socket during its’
countdown, the measured temperature from the inlet probe will be used as the inlet
temperature.
If an inlet temperature probe is not connected to the analyser during countdown the
measured temperature from the flue probe will be used as the inlet temperature.
If neither probe is connected during countdown the analyser’s internal ambient
temperature will be used as the inlet temperature.
Switching OFF the Analyser
Press / button to switch the analyser OFF. The display counts down
from 30 with the pump on to clear the sensors with fresh air – If the probe is still
connected, make sure analyser and probe are in fresh air.
Press / if you want to stop the countdown and return to making
measurements.
Note: The analyser will not switch off unless the CO reading is below 20ppm.
Backlight & Tasklight
Press / to switch the display's backlight and tasklight on and off.
NOTE: Use of the backlight/tasklight significantly increases the current drain on
the batteries.
Switching PUMP on / off
The analyser normally operates with the pump on.
Press / to switch the pump off and on.
KANE457 manual Page 9
When the pump is switched off “-PO-" is displayed instead of the O2, CO & CO2
readings. The analyser also displays "PUMP OFF" on the top line approx every 40
seconds.
NOTES:
1) The pump will not switch off if the CO reading is above 20ppm . This helps
to protect the CO sensor from damage.
2) The pump will automatically switch itself off when the rotary switch is set to
Menu, Status, Pressure, Tightness or Differential Temperature.
Zeroing the pressure sensor
To re-zero the pressure sensor when “Prs” is selected on the dial, press and hold
/ until the top line display shows CAL ZERO.
Printing Data
Press and quickly release / to start the analyser printing. The analyser
displays a series of bars until this is completed. Press and release the key again to
abort printing.
Make sure the printer is switched on, ready to accept data and its’ infrared receiver is
in line with the analyser’s emitter (on top of the analyser).
Storing a set of readings
Press and hold / for approx. 2 seconds.
The top line briefly displays the log number.
Note: This STORE function is inhibited in normal operation if the pump is
switched off.
