[james the plumb]

Hey guys.
Jus bought a new kane 455 cracking bit of kit but i cant turn it off, tried purging out side but still no joy!

Usually takes 30 seconds to turn off. Is it telling you high co?

Mine played up the other week. I called Kane, and then it sorted itself out while I was on the phone.

Check something. Mine had been in for calibration, and they'd put non rechargeable batteries in it. (Normally they put rechargable).

So I had been charging normal batteries. Think that may have accounted for the weird behaviour.

 

[Dannypipe]

Or could be a dodgy cell in it?

 

[james the plumb]

It has chargable batteries danny

Don't leave it in your van overnight when it's cold, condensation gets in it

press on/off hopefully switch off after 30 secs, if readings dont drop back to zero after purging a couple of times you might have overcooked it but it will normally purge down and turn off, if not back to kane!

 

[Dannypipe]

How easy is it to over cook em?

 

[lame plumber]

havent managed to destroy mine to date, and its popped off the scale a couple of times

Mines now three years old. Another few years and its a new cell. $$$

Ive only used it twice and they were on commissioning

dont have the analyser in the flue while the boiler fire up or shuts down, if the co reading is above 30ppm i think it will not shut down straight away. Read the instructions again, best pull out the probe and wait untill the readings go down then turn off.
