1.1 Information about this manual This manual describes the operation and the characteristics and the maintenance of the Combustion Analyzer model E4500. Read this operation and maintenance manual before using the device. The operator must be familiar with the manual and follow the instructions carefully.
2.2 Improper use of the product The use of E4500 in application areas other than those specified in Section 2.1 "Intended use of the product" is to be considered at the operator’s risk and the manufacturer assumes no responsibility for the loss damage or costs that may result.
WORKING PRINCIPLE 3.1 Working principle The gas sample is taken in through the gas probe, by a diaphragm suction pump inside the instrument. The measuring probe has a sliding cone that allows the probe to be inserted in any stack with the gas probe tip roughly centered in the flue.
Its internal memory is able to store 2000 complete tests and using the dedicated SW and mini-USB serial communication cable it is possible to download the data to a PC. It is also interesting to know that "E4500" is equipped with a single "Li-Ion" rechargeable battery pack used both to power the unit and for the printer: it also has a bright and wide (55 x 95 mm) TFT color display that has an excellent readability also thanks to the zoom function and the backlight.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 6.1 Technical Specifications Autozero: Automatic autozero cycle. Dilution (where provided): Expansion system of the CO sensor measuring range up to 100,000ppm (10.00%) programmable as a simple protection of the CO sensor with triggering threshold programmable by the user. Preset triggering threshold at 1500 ppm.
Remove the instrument from its packing and check it for damage. Make sure that the content corresponds to the items ordered. If signs of tampering or damage are noticed, notify the E INSTRUMENTS service center or distributor immediately and keep the original packing. A label on the back of the analyzer bears the serial number.
7.3.2 Use with external power pack The instrument can work with the batteries fully discharged by connecting the external power pack provided. THE POWER SUPPLY/BATTERY CHARGER IS A SWITCHING TYPE ONE. THE APPLICABLE INPUT VOLTAGE RANGES BETWEEN 90Vac AND 264Vac. INPUT FREQUENCY: 50-60Hz.
7.4.1 Gas sampling probe The gas sampling probe is made up of an INOX steel tube with a plastic hand grip and an internal K-type thermocouple (Ni-NiCr) for measuring the gas temperature up to 1470°F (800°C). Flue gas temperature is measured by means of a thermocouple inserted in the tip of the probe.
7.4.5 Combustion air temperature probe (for Condensing Boilers/Furnaces) The probe to measure the temperature of the combustion air (necessary for an exact calculation of the efficiency of the appliance) features a stainless steel tube with an adapter for wells of the diameter of 7.5 / 17 mm and K- type internal thermocouple (Ni-NiCr) to measure the temperature between -4°F and 212°F (-20°C and +100°C.) The probe comes complete with an 80”...

If you use volume calculation, for each section of piping it is necessary to set the material, the nominal diameter and the length of the same. The E4500 calculates the volume of the section ("partial volume") and it adds it up, activating the context key ' ' (sum piping), to the calculation of the volume of the system.

13.0 FLUE GAS ANALYSIS 13.1 FLUE GAS ANALYSIS To perform complete flue gas analysis, follow the instructions below. SOME IMPORTANT WARNINGS TO CONSIDER DURING THE COMBUSTION ANALYSIS ARE LISTED BELOW: FOR A CORRECT ANALYSIS NO AIR MUST FLOW INTO THE PIPE FROM OUTSIDE DUE TO A BAD TIGHTENING OF THE POSITIONING CONE OR A LEAK IN THE PIPELINE.
When auto-calibration is complete the instrument will instruct the user to insert the sample probe that has been previously connected to the relative input on the instrument, and the analysis screen will appear automatically. In order for the probe to be inserted at the right point within the stack, its distance from the boiler has to be twice the diameter of the stack pipe itself or, if this is not possible, must comply with the boiler manufacturer’s instructions.

Sensor characteristics diminish as the reagents are consumed and when these have been used up completely the sensor must be replaced. The sensors must be recalibrated on a regular basis to assure measuring accuracy: recalibration can only be performed by a qualified E INSTRUMENTS service center. Chart 14.4 illustrates the characteristics inherent to each sensor.
14.5 Expandability to 4 sensors In the E4500 instruments range, two are the versions which can be expanded: E4500-2 E4500-3 2 sensors, expandable to 3 or 4 sensors. 3 sensors, expandable to 4 sensors. POSITION POSITION POSITION POSITION POSITION POSITION...
14.6 CxHy sensor for measurement of the Unburned hydrocarbons The Unburned hydrocarbons are chemicals produced by an incomplete combustion of molecules (hydrocarbons) made of Carbon and Hydrogen. These are usually named as HC or (better) CxHy: when this is filled with the actual values for the number of C and H atoms, the actual type of fuel is exactly defined.
When the CO (position S3/S4) is mounted in the E4500, it is mandatory to configure the autozero by setting it at 60 seconds, in order to allow for a proper pre-heating of the sensor itself. Configuration→Analysis→Autozero (SEE SECTION 9.2.6) →...
Do not exceed sensor overload thresholds. • When the analysis is over disconnect the sample probe and let the E4500 draw fresh air for a few minutes, or • at least until the displayed parameters return to their original values. Do NOT bypass Post purge of the unit.
15.4 Maintaining the water trap / filter unit To remove the water trap, just rotate the cover and unhook the filter holder body; remove the internal cup and then replace the filter (see figure on the side). Clean all the filter parts using water only, dry the components and reassemble the filter. 15.5 Replacing the particulate filter If the particulate filter appears black, especially on the inner surface (see adjacent example), it has to be replaced immediately.

Rotate the sensor clockwise until hearing a click (See point 4). While rotating the sensor, take care not to exert any pressure onto the printed circuit above: exert pressure onto the plastic body only. Reconnect the sensor (See point 3). Close the back door of the sensor compartment again, and tighten screws again (See point 1).
