5 First steps

If testo easyEmission software is connected via a control


unit to measuring boxes, the number of measuring boxes
must not be changed. To add new measuring boxes, end
the testo easyEmission software, connect the new
measuring box and restart the testo easyEmission
software.
or

or

The individual components (e.g. Control Unit with meas. box or


meas. box with meas. box) can be connected to a bus system
using the Testo Data bus cable.
Prior to commissioning a bus system, the bus address,
bus rate, application and measuring location must be
configured separately in each analyzer box and
measurement programs which are running or active must
be deactivated in each individual analyzer box.
For this, before the components are connected to a bus system,
each component must be configured separately either with the
control unit or the notebook/PC.
Calling up the function:
[ ] → Device settings → [OK] → Data bus → [OK].

36
5 First steps

The bus address of each component connected to the Testo data
bus must be unambiguous. The bus address of the connected
component can be changed, if necessary.
1. Bus Address → [Edit].
2. Setting a new bus address: [ ], [ ], [◄], [►].
3. Confirm the entry: [OK].

Bus rate
The relevant data rate must be selected depending on the number
of connected components in a system.
• Control unit with one measuring box: 500 kbit/s
• All other systems: 50 kbit/s
> Select bus rate 500 kbit/s or 50 kbit/s: [ ], [ ], → [Edit] →
[ ] or [ESC].
If several meas. boxes are connected with the Control Unit,
only the measurement data from one meas. box can be
displayed at a time, or only one meas. box can be activated
respectively. This is accomplished by selecting the meas.
box, see Search for meas. boxes, page 42.
If several meas. boxes are connected to a notebook/PC,
the meas. boxers can be activated and opened parallel to
each other, e.g. to display measuring channels of different
meas. boxes parallel to one another.
If a notebook/PC or data bus controller (0554 0588) has
several connected and enabled measuring boxes, the
minimum measuring rate changes, depending on the
number of measuring boxes, as follows:

Measuring Minimum
boxes measuring rate
1 to 2 1s
3 to 4 2s
5 to 8 3s
9 to 16 5s

> Connect the Data bus cable to the Data bus interfaces.

via Data bus cable:
• Use only Testo databis cables
37
5 First steps

• Do not route Data bus cables in the vicinity of electric power


cables.
• Ensure sufficient power supply by supplying each meas. box
with mains voltage.
• The cables should ideally be plugged in before the system is
switched on. Connecting during operation (hot plugging) is
possible, however, depending on the combination the system
may need to be switched off and on again.
• The connection cannot be separated under load.
• Data bus subscribers: max. 16 meas. boxes in one Data bus
system.

5 First steps

Parameter Description
Pitot Tube The parameter "Pitot tube factor" influences the
Factor measurement of flow speed, volume flow rate
and mass flow. The Pitot factor depends on the
type of Pitot tube used:
Straight Pitot tubes: Factor = 0.67
Prandt’l Pitor tubes (bent): Factor = 1
Humidity The parameter "Humidity" (combustion air
humidity) influences the calculation of qA (flue
gas loss) and flue gas dew point. The factory
setting is 80.0% humidity. To achieve a higher
accuracy, the values can be adjusted to the
actual ambient conditions.
Pressure The absolute pressure influences the calculation
absolute of flow speed, volume flow, mass flow and flue
gas dew point. The factory setting is 980mbar. To
achieve a higher accuracy, the values can be
adjusted to the actual ambient conditions.
If a CO2-(IR) module is installed, the
absolute pressure value measured there
will automatically be used.
Barometric The input of the barometric pressure and
pressure the height above sea level is only
required when no absolute pressure is
available (no CO2 IR module present).
The barometric pressure influences the
calculation of flow speed, volume flow, mass flow
and flue gas dew point. To achieve a higher
accuracy, the values can be adjusted to the
actual ambient conditions.
This is 1013mbar as an annual average,
regardless of the altitude. Depending on the
current weather, this pressure can fluctuate by
±20mbar around the annual average.
Altitude The height above sea level influences the
calculation of flow speed, volume flow, mass flow
and flue gas dew point. To achieve a higher
accuracy, the value can be adjusted to the actual
ambient conditions.

6.1.2.1. Dilution
(only available via tab Meas. Box and with the measurement range
extension option)

Option dilution (for single slot with selectable dilution factors


With active dilution the measuring gas for the sensor in slot 6 is
diluted with ambient air (other possibility: nitrogen gas) in a
controlled manner. For this purpose, the diluting gas is drawn
through a separate gas inlet by a pump and a valve operating on
the principle of pulse width modulation. A filter is installed to protect
the gas path against dust.
If the measurement range extension is active this is indicated by a
clearly noticeable clicking of the valve. In addition the symbol 1/x
appears at the right hand top of the display (in the header) and the
selected dilution factor appears at the corresponding parameter
(the complete line of the diluted parameter appears against a blue
background).
The following dilution factors can be manually set:

x 40 39 : 1
Auto dilution 4:1

If the dilution stage auto-dilution is selected, dilution (5x) is


activated automatically when the set switch-off threshold of the
sensor in slot 6 is reached.
• If the surrounding air contains interfering gases, push
the hose onto the dilution inlet and place in a clean
atmosphere.
• If gas from a gas cylinder is used, observe a max.
pressure of 30hPa

6.1.4.2. CxHy-Sensor
The CxHy-Sensor can be activated / deactivated.
The CxHy-Sensor menu under Sensor settings is only
displayed if an CxHy sensor is connected.
This sensor is a Pellistor which always requires a certain amount of
O2 to operate (approx. 2% O2). This sensor would be destroyed at
lower values. The sensor therefore switches off at inadequate O2
values. If it is known from the beginning that values below 2% do
exist, the sensor can also be switched off manually. CxHy-Sensor
On starts the flue gas analyser with a zeroing phase (30s).
For proper functioning the sensor is heated up to approx.
500°C, duration: approx. 10min. This means that the
sensor needs to be zeroed again 10min after the device
has been switched on, in order to prevent drifting (into the
"minus" range).

6.1.4.4. Calibration / adjustment


CO, SO2, NO2, NO, O2, H2S, CxHy and CO2 (IR) sensors can be
tested (calibrated) and adjusted using test gas.
Calibration/adjustment of the O2 sensor (O2 reference) is basically
carried out in the same way as the calibration/adjustment of toxic
sensors. The O2 nominal value entered is only temporary, i.e. the
nominal value will be overwritten with the ambient oxygen content
(21 Vol.%) the next time the instrument is switched off/on or when
another zeroing process is carried out. The same applies when a
measuring program passes through a zeroing phase. The O2 test
gas must also be applied to the measurement gas inlet (as with the
toxic sensors).
If obviously unrealistic readings are displayed, the sensors
should be checked (calibrated) and, if required, adjusted.
The calibration/adjustment can be carried out by the user or
by a qualified service centre approved by Testo.
To ensure that specific accuracies are retained, Testo
recommends testing every six months and recalibration
when required.

Adjustments made with low gas concentrations can lead to


accuracy deviations in the upper measuring ranges.
The sensor protection (shut-down function) is not
deactivated. The test gas concentration should therefore be
lower than the set thresholds for the sensor protection.
The function of to dilute all (x5) is automatically
deactivated.
If the instrument is fitted with an CxHy sensor, it should be
switched off before test gas is applied.

60
6 Using the product

If a CxHy-Sensor is fitted, switch this off before measuring


test gases with O2 contents <2%. If you forget to do this,
the sensor will switch off automatically during the
measuring process, but will still be strained unnecessarily.
The following boundary conditions must be met when calibrating /
adjusting:
• Use absorption-free hose material.
• Select Testgas as fuel
• Switch on the flue gas analyser at least 20 minutes before
calibration / adjustment (to warm up)
• Use clean air for gas zeroing
• Maximum overpressure of the test gas 30hPa (recommended:
pressureless via bypass)
• Apply the test gas for at least 3 minutes
Recommended test gas concentrations and compositions can be
found in the Test Gas Manual (Order-No. 0981 2313) or in the
Download Centre.

6.2. Measuring
6.2.1. Preparing for measurement
If no combustion air temperature (AT) probe is connected,
the temperature measured by the thermocouple of the flue
gas probe, or the external thermocouple connected to the
probe socket during the zeroing phase, is used as the
combustion air temperature.
Note
Neither the flue gas probe nor the external
thermocouple must be inserted into the flue gas
duct during the zeroing phase.

67
6 Using the product

All dependent parameters are calculated using this value.


This method of measuring combustion air temperature is
sufficient for systems dependent on ambient air. However,
ensure that the flue gas probe is near the intake duct of
the burner during the zeroing phase! If a combustion air
temperature probe is connected, the combustion air
temperature is measured continuously via this probe.
Following the zeroing phase, the currently measured
temperature is displayed as the flue gas temperature (FT).
The combustion air temperature (VT) is continuously
measured by the temperature sensor installed in the meas.
box. The fresh air required for the zeroing phase is drawn in
through the exhaust if no fresh air valve (option) is installed
and through the valve inlet if a fresh air valve is installed.
The flue gas probe can thus already be inside the flue gas
channel before or during the zeroing phase.
Exception: when using an analyzer unit with no fresh air
valve and overpressure in the flue gas duct, the flue gas
probe must be removed from the flue gas duct for zeroing.
The testo 350 can be operated as follows:
• lying down
• hanging horizontally down by its handle
• plugged vertically to the wall bracket by the handle
To prevent measuring errors the position of the testo 350
must not be changed during a measurement.
Under ambient temperatures of <10°C the CO2-(IR) sensor
requires a shorter heat-up time to reach full measuring
accuracy. At -5°C this typically is 15min.

Before switching on
> Check whether:
• All system components are properly connected.
• All required probes / sensors are connected.
• The power supply of all system components is guaranteed.

During then zeroing phase


During the zeroing phase the sensors of the flue gas analyser are
zeroed. Zero point and drift of the sensors are checked. The
O2 value is set to 21% O2.
> Make sure that the ambient air is free of interfering gases (e.g.
CO, NO) during the zeroing phase!

6 Using the product

Before the measurement


> Set the fuel for the furnace system to be measured.
> Assign the required measurement parameters and units to a
display field in the measurement view.
> Activate the location to which the readings are to be assigned.
> Make sure that the gas outlets are free, so that the gas can
escape without obstruction. Otherwise the measurement results
may be corrupted.

Measurements with the CxHy sensor

WARNING
Dangerous mixture of gases
Danger of explosions.
> Perform measurements only in flue gas ducts.
> Only measure gases which do not form a combustible mixture
in the ambient air.

There must always be sufficient oxygen in the flue gas to


prevent the CxHy sensor from being destroyed. With an
O2 content of less than 2% the CxHy sensor switches off
automatically (protective function). Higher concentrations of
silicones, H2S and sulphurous hydrocarbons can also lead
to the destruction of the CxHy sensor.
Zeroing takes place automatically when the CxHy sensor is
activated. To ensure that accurate CxHy readings are obtained,
you should then wait about 10min (with the instrument switched on)
before starting another zeroing process manually.
To prevent the CxHy sensor from drifting during lengthy
measurement operations, zeroing should be carried out from time
to time.

6.2.2. Using the flue gas probe


Removing plastic cap
> Before starting a measurement, remove the plastic cap fitted on
the flue gas probe and set it aside. The plastic cap is required for
the gas path check (see Section 5.5.2).

Checking the thermocouple


> Make sure that the thermocouple of the flue gas probe does not
touch the probe basket. Bend the thermocouple back if
necessary.

69
6 Using the product

Aligning the flue gas probe


> Turn the probe to align the thermocouple so that it is freely
exposed to the flue gas flow.
> Align the flue gas probe in the flue gas duct so that the tip is in
the hot spot (area of the highest flue gas temperature).

6.2.3.1. Flue Gas, Flue Gas + m/s, Flue Gas + Δp, Program for all
meas. boxes, Flue Gas before + after catalyst
The flue gas menus (Measurement Type) are the central
measuring menus, which – in addition to the readings measured
with this function – contain the readings of all measurements
performed (if selected in the menu Measurement view). All
readings can also be saved in or printed out from these menus.
The flue gas menus can always be selected, irrespective of the
plugged in sensors.
Measuring functions of the flue gas menu:
• The measurement type Flue Gas can be used to perform a flue
gas measurement.
• The measurement type Program for all analyzer boxes can
be used for e.g. a bus system, in which several flue gas
analysers are interconnected. A measuring program can
thereby be defined and transferred to all meas. boxes.
• The measurement type Flue Gas before + after cat enables
synchronous measuring of flue gas concentration before and
after the catalyst. For this flue gas menu two measuring boxes
71
6 Using the product

are required, which are linked via the Test Data bus. The
readings of both meas. boxes are displayed parallel in the
display of the Control Unit to provide a quick overview over the
condition of the catalyst.
• With measurement type Flue Gas + m/s a flue gas
measurement can be performed in parallel to a flow
measurement (+ volume / mass flow calculation) via a Pitot tube
(the connecting cable for the thermocouple of the straight Pitot
tube must thereby not be connected to the sensor socket of the
instrument).
• The measurement type Flue Gas + ΔP can be used to perform
a flue gas measurement with parallel differential pressure
measurement.
After measurements with high concentrations and after
longer measurements the instrument should be rinsed with
fresh air, so that the sensors can be regenerated again.
Flow measurement: Before the measurement make the
location settings (Pitot tube factor and correction factor),
see Folders / Locations, page 43.
Do not measure for longer than 5min, as the drift of the
pressure sensor could have the effect that the readings are
outside the tolerance limits.

8.3. Updating the instrument software


Under www.testo.com/download-center you can download the
current instrument software (Firmware) for testo 350 (registration
required).
Control Unit and meas. box must be separated for updating
the instrument software.

Before the firmware update is started, the control unit's


rechargeable battery must be fully charged. If the battery is
not fully charged, this will affect the firmware update. The
flue gas analyser must then be sent in to Testo Service.
Once the instrument software has been updated, the
descriptions in the operating instructions will no longer
match the instrument functions. For the latest version of
the operating instructions, visit www.testo.com\download-
center.

Control unit

3. Release [▲] .
4. Plug the connecting cable (Art.-No. 0449 0073) into the USB-
port on the Control Unit, then connect it to the PC.
- Your PC recognises the Control Unit as a removable medium.
5. Copy the new file (appcurel.bin) to the detected removable
medium.
- In the display the status bar progresses from left to right. This
process may take a few minutes.
6. Disconnect the connecting cable from the device.

If the testo 350 is not used for measurements over an


extended period, but rather, for example, for random
measurements during start-up, servicing and adjustment of
industrial combustion systems, process systems, power
plants, gas turbines or stationary industrial motors, an
annual check of the testo 350 by Testo Service is
recommended.
