Bacharach 0024-8518 – Fyrite Insight Plus Reporting Kit

Five Tools in ONE with Real-Time Analysis

The Fyrite INSIGHT Plus is Bacharach’s premium residential and light commercial combustion analyzer. This American-made analyzer uses advanced technology to accurately measure, analyze and report results that validate safe operation, efficiently tune older systems and save customers money. It is a five-in-one steady state combustion analyzer that is capable of measuring flue gas and room air CO, and can also function as a dual channel digital thermometer (up to 999 F) and a digital manometer (which measures draft, gas pressure, ESP, and up to +/- 40 INWC).

Powered by innovative Tune-Rite software, the industry’s first-ever on-demand HVAC “assistant” it helps both new and seasoned technicians save money by making more thorough and efficient service calls. It also features industry-exclusive B-Smart CO sensor technology, enabling technicians and HVAC/R service representatives to install pre-calibrated sensors right in the field to avoid costly downtime and inconvenience.

Steady-State and Tune-Rite – Why It Matters

As it evaluates the flue gas, Tune-Rite’s full-color graphic display shows you when the appliance has reached steady-state, which is critical for consistent, repeatable, and accurate combustion testing. Measured values of oxygen, stack temperature and carbon monoxide are compared to typical values for the equipment under optimum conditions.

Based on the appliance type, Tune-Rite helps you to determine if it’s operating safely and in the acceptable ranges. If not, you’ll get a list of possible causes related to the readings and an easy-to-navigate troubleshooting checklist.

Combustion analysis should be performed only after combustion parameters indicate that the appliance has reached “steady-state” operating conditions. Steady-state can be gauged by three things:

• The change in temperature of combustion products in the vent system
• The change in the percentage of oxygen in the flue gas mix, which assists in determining if there is excess air or excess fuel in the combustion process.
• The change in Carbon Monoxide (CO) over time – CO levels will spike during the initial fire which is normal, but they should normalize to a lower output as steady-state is reached.

The Benefits Of Tune-Rite Technology

Tune-Rite software eliminates the guesswork commonly involved in determining steady-state by showing you a live graphical representation of all combustion parameters as they settle into a steady-state condition. When the combustion equipment reaches steady-state, a red dot displayed on the LED readout changes to green and is ready for analysis. It’s that simple.
