General Description
The 706 is an advanced state-of-the-art carbon monoxide (CO) gas
analyzer designed to provide part per million readings from 0-
10,000 ppm. The 706 is capable of performing ambient as well as
flue gas checks with its hot air probe and internal pump.
The 706 is utilizes an advanced long life electrochemical sensor that
can be field calibrated and has a low replacement cost.
Features include IR printer port to print hard copy of data, 10 stor-
age locations, Flow block indication, peak reading for test period as
well as date and time.
CAUTION: The 706 is not designed as a personal
monitor. The display must be in view to
determine gas concentration.

A. Powering up the 706
1. Turn the unit on in an uncontaminated environment (clean air
away from the system in question) by holding down the red
ON/OFF switch for 2 seconds.
2. The 706 will power up and go through a 30 second self test to
ensure the unit is operating properly.
3. When the display shows 0 ppm, you are ready to measure CO.
B. Attaching Mini Pump Protection Filter
1. Obtain the pump filter assembly and push the open end of the
tube onto the inlet at the top of the 706 (refer to figure below).
C. Measuring CO in Ambient Air
1. Complete steps A and B above.
2. Place the 706 in any area to measure CO.
3. The 706 has an alarm that will sound at 500 ppm (factory set)
for your safety.
NOTE: The instrument has an auto shut off after 10 minutes should
no keys have been pressed for this period and as mentioned above
that the CO is below 15ppm. Should the CO be above 15ppm then
the 10 minute auto shut off countdown will not begin till the CO
has gone below 15ppm.

the readings you want to display.
4. Press the Scroll/Enter key once. The 706 will display the date
and time screen showing when that reading was stored.
5. Use the up and down arrows to scroll through the CO and Peak
readings that were saved.
6. Press the Scroll/Enter button and “End” will be displayed and
“Yes” will flash. Press the Scroll/Enter button if you are finished
recalling data or use the Arrow buttons to select No to recall
data from other locations.
CAL - Selecting “CAL” allows you to display the last date of cali-
bration.

J. PRINTING DATA (Optional A740 Printer Required)
WARNING: - To operate correctly there must be a clear line of sight between
the Infrared Window on the instrument (see 3.3) and the Infrared Window on
the IR Printer (see Printer instructions). Place the printer so it is no closer
than approximately 6 inches from the analyzer.
1. Press the Print Key once
'rEAL', “Stor’, and “Cal” will be displayed and ‘rEAL’ will be flashing.
Selecting ‘rEAL’ will cause the 706 to print the test data currently on the
display (real time data). Selecting ‘Stor’ will cause the 706 to print data
stored in memory. Selecting “Cal” will cause the 706 to print the last date
of calibration. Use the Up and Down Arrow Keys to select the desired
print mode and press the Scroll/Enter Key.
REAL Print Mode - If rEAL print mode is selected, the analyzer will dis-
play ‘Wait’ ‘out’ and bars will change position on the LCD until printing is
complete.
STOR Print Mode - If Stor mode is selected, 'Addr' will be displayed on
the top line along with 'SA ' and a location number from 0 to 9 will be
flashing on the screen. Select the required address location that you wish
to print data from by pressing the Up and Down Arrow Keys and press
the ‘Scroll/Enter’ Key. The analyzer will display ‘Wait’, ‘out’ and bars will
change position on the LCD until printing is complete.
CAL Print Mode - If Cal print mode is selected, the analyzer will display
‘Wait’ ‘out’ and bars will change position on the LCD until printing is com-
plete.
After printing is complete, ‘End’ will be displayed and ‘YES’ (or ‘no’) will
blink. Selecting ‘YES’ will return the 706 to normal operation, selecting
‘no’ will return the 706 to the print selection screen so you can print
again. Use the Up and Down Arrow Keys to make the selection and press
the Scroll/Enter Key.
K. Setting the Date and Time
1. Follow the power on procedure outlined earlier.
2. Press the Func button once. The current time, date and year
are displayed. Please note that the time is on a 24 hour clock
and the date is shown as DD/MM.
3. To change a value, press the Scroll/Enter button once. The
minutes for the time will begin to flash.
4. Using the up or down arrow, set the display to the correct
value.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for hours, month, day and year until all
items are set and there is nothing flashing on the LCD.
6. Press the Func button to return to CO measurement.

handle by sliding the door away from the front side of the instru-
ment.
2. Remove the batteries and replace by sliding the negative (-) end of
the batteries in first.
