Before using this meter, read all safety information carefully. In this manual the word “WARNING” is used 

to indicate conditions or actions that may pose physical hazards to the user. The word “CAUTION” is used 

to indicate conditions or actions that may damage this instrument.

  WARNING! 

This analyzer extracts combustion gases that may be toxic in relatively low concentrations. These gases are 

exhausted from the back of the instrument. This instrument must only be used in well-ventilated locations.It 

must only be used by trained and competent persons after due consideration of all the potential hazards.

WARNING!

Turning the pump off while the probe is in the flue will leave toxic 

gases inside the analyzer. Once data has been read, it is advisable to 

purge the unit with fresh air as soon as possible. To do this, with the 

probe removed from the flue, turn ON the pump. Always allow the 

readings to return to zero (00 for CO) prior to shutting the unit off. 

 WARNING!

 

The probe will be hot from flue gases. Remove the probe from the flue 

and allow it to cool naturally. Do not immerse the probe in water, as 

this will be drawn into the analyzer and damage the pump and sen-

sors. Once the probe is removed from the flue and the readings have 

returned to ambient levels rotate the selector to “OFF”and switch off 

the analyzer. The instrument will count down from 30 to switch off.

The C20 Combustion set-up meter is suitable for use with all common domestic fuels including natural gas, 

propane, butane and light oil.

NOTE: Always begin operation in an area with fresh air, free from any CO or CO2.

•  Power the C20 on by rotating the selector dial to any position

•  Allow the C20 to complete countdown

•  Rotate selector dial to desired parameter and begin testing

  When not measuring CO or CO2 rotate selector to “STANDBY” to extend battery life.

•  Measure and verify manufacture set-up values for CO2 and CO are within specified range.

•  Check for flue gas spillage around capture hoods.

•  Measure background and ambient CO levels.
