TSI makes a good one. I have a bacharach and have had no problems with, I use it daily for the last 2 years. I have never needed to calibrate or replace any sensors.

I do need to order a new in line filter, damn oil furnace caught me off guard!

 

TSI has about 20 models. Any recomendation on which one to get for general residential and light commercial gas and oil units?

 

Sounds like the exact same experience I had with my Monoxor II. I used to think Bacharach was good stuff...won't ever catch me buying another.

 

I would recommend the TSI 6130, they have a whole package from NCI.

Make sure you have a good draft gauge. I perfer the Dwyer 460 air meter

 

Thanks, it looks like the kit comes with a Dwyer. Got any idea of price? I couldn't find it anywhere.

 

Bought a Testo 325M a few months back......I used to be a bacharach guy, but the Testo was half the price.............seems to work just fine, lives in the van and haven't had a problem yet.

 

Good product, just a little slow.

 

We used to use the bachrach pca 25's and we have switched to the testo. The testo comes as a whole kit. we use the printer and print a copy of the test and staple it to the service ticket.

 

Check the solder connection on the board where the O2 sensor plugs in.

Had a similar problem with my fyrite pro 125 about four years ago and the captain took care of it.

Weber gave you some good advice I've been using the TSI CA-6130 for two years now and have been very pleased.

The 460 is a must, I carry two.

 

I spent 38,000.00 on 2 Infrared combustion analyzers and I have to verify calibration every day, I have a quintox KaneMay9600 and i had it calibrated 6 months ago and it is out 50 ppm CO at 200ppm CO. What I am saying is if you cannot be readjusted to a span gas the instrument is Crap.

 

Check your condensate trap, sounds like you might be getting condensate in the O2 sensor, it will kill em fast.
You might try turning the unit on and let it run for several hours in open air to dry the sensor out.

 

Twilli says 38,000.00 dollars?

 

No, doll hairs..they are worth almost nothing

 

I have a bacharach Fyrite Pro for 7 years it bounces around in my truck. Just sent it in for recalibration and they upgraded the pump 175.00. Great tool!!

 

down again

My NEW Fyrite Tech 60 is down now.Only 5 months old and now I need an O2 Sensor that cost $140.00.These Fyrite Comb.Analyzers are GARBAGE!!!!

 

I doubt its the analyzer.....

 

I t may be me,but this is my second one, and I was very careful to keep moisture out of the cup and take care of it,since it cost over $800. with the printer.It does sit in a cold van here in NY,and when I bring it inside I let it warm up,and clean out filter.

 

I take mine in at night so it doesn't freeze

 

Open the condensate trap / filter and run the unit a minimum 5 min's. Never not run the unit and just put it away, this is guaranteed future failure.
Store unit with trap filter apart before turning the unit off. Use a tiny amount of vasoline on your finger and lube the seals. I have found that a tiny piece of seal shrapnel will clog and murder the sensors.

 

Do you leave the hose assembly attached?


That may be my problem Davidr.Ill order the o2 sensor but $140 seems like alot.

 

if its only 5 months old, send it back to the manufacture.

The will replace the sensor and recalibrate it for no charge.
