Fyrite Pro FAQ's

  1. When turned on does the Fyrite Pro read the actual ambient carbon monoxide levels?
  2. Can I use the instruments equipped with a pressure sensor to set up gas pressure? 
  3. Can I use the instruments equipped with a pressure sensor to measure air flow and external static pressure? 
  4. Can my Fyrite Pro be upgraded to provide additional capabilities?
  5. What is the difference between the Fyrite Pro series and the PCA series?

 

1.  When turned on, does the Fyrite Pro read the actual ambient carbon monoxide levels?

The Fyrite Pro series can be setup by the end user to do either an 'automatic' or 'manual' calibration during the 60 second warm up period.  

'Automatic' calibration means that the instrument will calibrate zero in the display until ambient carbon monoxide levels reach approximately 80 ppm's.  Should ambient CO levels exceed this level, a 'CO sensor error' will be displayed.

'Manual' calibration means that the instrument will calibrate to whatever levels of CO are detected in the ambient air.

Typically we recommend the manual setting.  This may help provide a warning to the contractor/inspector/etc., that they are working in a potentially dangerous environment.

2.  Can I use the Fyrite Pro equipped with a pressure sensor (draft) to set up gas pressure? 

If you have a Bacharach Fyrite Pro 125, you can set up gas pressure on most residential and commercial heating equipment (depending on the commercial gas pressure required).

3.  Can I use the Fyrite Pro equipped with a pressure sensor (draft) to measure air flow and external static pressure? 

If you have a Bacharach Fyrite Pro 125, you can test and measure for proper air flow and external static pressure on most residential and commercial heating equipment (depending on the commercial air flow required).

4.  Can my Fyrite Pro be upgraded to provide additional capabilities?

Absolutely, any Fyrite Pro can be upgraded up to a Fyrite Pro 125.

5.  What is the difference between the Fyrite Pro series and the PCA series?

The Fyrite Pro series of instruments is primarily designed for basic residential testing.  

The Fyrite Pro does not have a memory feature to save test results.  Saving test results allows the user to take multiple tests (light off, run and shut down, for example) and print off the test results once testing is complete.

The Fyrite Pro's sample pump is not as strong as the PCA's pump.  This limits the length of the hose and probe assembly which can be used.  The PCA can pull a sample through a 20' hose and probe assembly accessory.

The Fyrite Pro's display only shows 2 parameters at once while the PCA's display shows all test results simultaneously.

The Fyrite Pro can be set up by the end user to do either a manual or automatic calibration during the 60 second warm up period, the PCA does an automatic calibration (see #1).
