Situations may occur, for instance where the sampled hot gases have just passed through electrostatic
precipitators, where a high static charge would build up on the instrument probe if ungrounded. Fur-
ther contact by any grounded object, i.e. a person touching the keyboard and forming a discharge
path, may then result in damage to the instrument.
HAZARDOUS GASES: All recognized safety procedures should be used when operating
with hazardous gases. Fireye accepts no responsibility for damage to the instrument, or
injury to the person while following procedures, nor will the company accept liability for
failure to comply with safety precautions.

DESCRIPTION OF INSTRUMENT
The Firetron 1000 Portable Gas Analyzer has been designed to give maximum choice to the cus-
tomer within a single instrument.
The Firetron Series 1000 is a portable 2 or 3 gas flue gas combustion analyzer with draft measure-
ment standard. CO
2
, Excess Air, Loss and Efficiency are all calculated from appropriate cells via
computed calculation. Flue gas and ambient temperature measurement are standard. The Firetron
1000 is
not intended
to be used as a continuous gas monitor.
The carrying case holds any accessories and the 12" Duo probe and sample hose. The water catchpot
is contained in the side of the instrument case and is easily accessible for emptying.
The sealed lead acid battery will maintain the operation of the instrument for a full working day
when fully charged. The instrument accepts is a wide range of power supplies (90 to 265V, 50/60Hz).
Operational procedure is carried out by following the user friendly menu on the liquid crystal display
and using the keyboard on the same front panel. Simultaneous display of all measured and calculated
values gives a complete overview of the combustion situation. Every menu incorporates a “HELP”
facility for use if any difficulty is found during operation.
A printer (not supplied) can be connected through the RS232 serial interface.
A facility for automatic air purging of the sensors occurs every time the instrument is switched off.
This ensures accuracy of readings and conserves the sensor life.
