Combustion Flue Analyser

[IK1]

Hi all,

Can anyone recommend a good flue analyser to purchase and also where I can get it at the best price?

I've been looking at the Anton Sprint V2, which ive used before but its quite pricey..

Any help would be appreciated..

Thanks in advance,

I've had the anton v2 and a tpi. The Anton is much better and would recommend it to anyone. It is expensive, but if you are going to use it alot then it is worth the money. I cant remember where I bought mine from, but I just had a search on google until I found the cheapest place.

Dozens of posts here if you do a search.
Used Anton, TPI and Kane.
Kane wins for me!

Testo, different world.

I've got a Kane 455. Used an Anton Sprint as well, but I prefer the Kane. Cost me £500 + VAT for the full CPA kit - analyser, printer, the full set of probes, etc.

I agree with Mickyplumb, I have a Testo 325-2 Great Piece of kit.........Well worth the extra cost...... but used a Kane in college
much prefer the Testo.

I always use Kane - a quality product.

Testo are a joke. Sorry, but ANY product of testo's are crap......and a joke.

Anton are far too expensive and are just poor!!

As a newbie to the industry, What are the reasons you call Testo are a joke,
Have you had many problems with them,
I would like to know......Have I purchased a load of problems.....Buying a Testo,
Are their any other gas engineers out there who have had problems with Testo.
As I have used mine doing my work portfolio and find it a great piece of kit,
But like I said I'am a newbie &
I'am interested to know.... The thoughts of the more experience Gas engineer

I like the Testo better than Anton. But they all do the same job, so just get the one you think is the best value.

Hi all,

I decided to buy the Anton V2 Sprint as Ive used it before and like its simplicty. However I also got the printer with it. The analyser works fine but when I go to print a log, its prints out random characters rather than the actual log.

would anyone be able to advise why this is happening. The printer is charged up and the printer is lined up with the Infra red port on the analyser.

Also would anyone know where I can get a copy of the CD that usually comes with the analyser? Because the one provided with mine doesnt seem to be working?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I use the qmi which is the Same as the Kane I believe really easy to use

Used one in collage and this happened there, Then I put the printer touching the end of the top of analyzer and it worked fine,
it does not work correctly if the printer is to far away from analyzer,
Hope this info helps

Thanks Topdog.

Problem is now sorted. I got the company to send me another one which is now working fine. But apparantly the problem was due to the printer settings as it should be in IR mode rather than HP.

love my testo 327 works really well. but it always costs when ever recalibrated which the anton so im told is alot more reasonable when it comes to cells etc. we have two on the firm which need sending away days upart clever us. but found out recently while one was away the other was a couple of days over due, so it shuts its self down! clever testo its all about the money!!!
