The 

KANE200

 Efficiency Meter tests heating appliances for O

2

, CO

2

temperature and combustion efficiency.  
 
The 

KANE250

 Combustion Meter measures O

2, 

temperature and CO and 

then calculates efficiency (Nett, Gross or Condensing), the CO/CO

2

 ratio 

and Poison Index 
 
In addition the KANE250 Combustion Meter’s CO sensor checks CO 
levels in ambient air - useful when a CO Alarm is triggered .. and tests 
the safety of appliances.  It also calculates CO air free in ppm only. 
 
The CO reading can be referenced to the oxygen reading in ppm or 
mg/m

All meters have a protective rubber sleeve with a magnet for “hands–
free” operation and their flue probes work on all combustion appliances 
and take ambient air measurements.   
 
The large display shows 2 readings at a time and all data can be printed 
via an optional infrared printer. The printed data can be 'live' data, 'frozen 
data' or stored data.  16 sets of tests can be stored.  Note: stored data is 
lost if the batteries are removed or are exhausted. Two lines of 16 
characters can be added to the header of printouts. 
 
The meters are controlled using 4 buttons and a rotary dial.  
 
The four buttons (from left to right) switch on and off the meter, print 
actual or frozen data, switch on and off the backlight, switch on and off 
the pump and “freeze” or hold data.  If the HOLD button is pressed for 
more than 2 seconds the current data is stored in memory and the test 
number is briefly displayed. The buttons with UP, DOWN and ENTER 
arrows also change settings such as date, time, fuel source, and the 
display’s top line. 
 
The rotary dial changes the display’s 2

nd

 line and selects access to the 

menu to make changes to the date, time, fuel, etc.
