Kane 3200 Operation & User’s Manual

Stock No. 18950 November 2011 © Kane International Ltd

8 user selectable scales Temperature compensated One button zeroing Long battery life Robust case with integrally moulded protective boot Integral magnets for hands-free operation GENERAL OPERATION The meter is controlled using 2 buttons. The two buttons have dual functions as follows: ON / OFF To switch ON press and hold for 2 seconds until 3200 appears on the display. (During this 2 seconds all the segments of the display will be actuated.) The display will then show the following sequence 1.0 the firmware version HPA the units currently set ZERO the zeroing sequence 04 03 02 01 00 00.0 the measured value the meter is now ready for use. To switch OFF press and hold until OFF appears on the display. (During this period the meter will display the units currently set). ZERO Press and hold until ZERO appears on the display. The meter will then do a zero countdown for a count of 4.

. The display will show the units currently set eg HPA. Now press to scroll through the selection of units available. When the units of choice are displayed, press to select.

Remove the cover and fit a new battery in the battery compartment. Take great care to ensure that the battery is fitted with the correct battery polarity. Then replace the battery cover. Always check that the meter is working correctly after replacing the battery. 2. BEFORE USING THE METER EVERY TIME: After switch on, check that the battery power is sufficient and the displayed units are the ones required. SAFETY WARNING Never connect to a pressure source where you are not sure what the maximum pressure might be. Always ensuer that the meter you are using is correctly rated for the pressure that you intend to measure. Excessive pressure (>5 times nominal range) can permanently damage the meter’s pressure sensor. NOTE: Use the + input for all single input measurement soft pressure or vacuum Only use the – input when taking a differential measurement. 3. UNIT OPTIONS PS UNITS User selectable units are mBAR, inH20, hPa, mmHg, PSI, kPa, Pa, mmH2O These are displayed as follows: kPa PSI mmHg hPa inH2O mBar mmH2O Pa

Do not exceed the meter’s internal temperature operating range Do not put the meter on a hot surface When taking critical draft measurements always re-zero the meter in the position you are taking the readings and hold the meter still during the test. Differential Port Port 1 IR Printer Output Always use the top right hand port (Port 1) for taking single channel measurements (pressure or vacuum). Only use the left hand port for differential measurements. If the pressure being measured exceeds the meter’s design range the display will show ---- for “over-range”. When taking draft readings at very low pressure or draft levels, for maximum accuracy, re-zero the meter in the orientation that it is being used. This eliminated gravity effects on the very sensitive pressure transducer. It is also recommended that the meter is switched on for at least five minutes and then re-zeroed before taking such sensitive measurements.

The meter should be re-calibrated and serviced annually by a Kane approved service centre. Local regulations may require more frequent re-calibration. Calibration is performed in firmware and there are no user accessible adjustments or user serviceable parts. 6. SPECIFICATION Scale Range Highest Resolution Mbar + 200 0.01 Pa + 9999 1 hPa + 200 0.01 kPa + 20 0.001 PSI + 3.0 0.001 mm Hg + 150 0.01 mm Wg + 2100 0.01 In Wg + 80 0.01 NOTE: The nominal range is plus and minus 200 mbar. The meter does not auto- range and so when Pa units are selected the full operating range cannot be displayed and the user must select an alternative range for measurements above 999 Pa. ACCURACY: + 0.5 mbar or + 0.5% of reading whichever is greater. Maximum over- range without damaging the sensor is 1000 mbar. BATTERY LIFE: Greater than 250 hours continuous operation with a 9 V PP3 alkaline battery. AMBIENT TEMPERATURE RANGE: 0oC to +50oC AMBIENT HUMIDITY: 10% RH to 90% RH non-condensing DIMENSIONS: Weight: 295 grams with battery Handset: 160mm x 80mm x 40mm (180mm including spigots) Ambient Operating Range: +0oC to +45oC 10% to 90% RH non-condensing Power Supply: 9 Volt PP3 alkaline battery

generate electromagnetic disturbances exceeding defined levels and have adequate immunity levels for normal operation. Specific standards applicable to this meter are stated below. As there are electrical products in use pre-dating this Directive, they may emit excess electromagnetic radiation levels and, occasionally, it may be appropriate to check the meter before use by: Use the normal start up sequence in the location where the meter will be used. Switch on all localized electrical equipment capable of causing interference. Check all reading are as expected. A level of disturbance is acceptable. If not acceptable, adjust the meter’s position to minimize interference or switch off, if possible, the offending equipment during your test. At the time of writing this manual (November 2011) Kane International Ltd are not aware of any field based situation where such interference has occurred and this advice is only given to satisfy the requirements of the Directive. This product has been tested for compliance with the following generic standards: EN 61000-6-3 : 2001 EN 61000-6-1 : 2001 and is certified to be compliant Specification EC/EMC/KI/K455 details the specific test configuration, performance and conditions of use. Please Note: Batteries used in this instrument should be disposed of in accordance with current legislation and local guidelines. At the end of its life the meter should be sent to the appropriate recycling centre in accordance with current legislation and local guidelines.
