• To verify that equipment is operating as the manufacture designed it to work. This includes installation
tests for CO, CO2, O2, Excess Air and stack temperature s
- A properly tuned combustion appliance will perform better, and reduce the likelihood of
call-backs for no-heat
• To verify that the maintenance work performed has corrected the pro b l e m
- A print-out documents the before-after improvement in perf o r m a n c e
• To detect any defects early – possibly at installation
- Higher efficiency equipment is running at peak only when properly adjusted. As the complexity
of a system increases, so does the importance of proper adjustment of the combustion process.
• Im p roperly adjusted equipment not only fails to meet expected performance but could lead to future failure s
- High CO readings throughout the burner operation could be from a burner that isn’t aligned or
a flame impingement pro b l e m
• To check that the equipment is supplied with enough combustion air, make-up air and has proper
venting to exhaust the combustion by - p ro d u c t s
• To determine if emissions are within acceptable levels. Governing organizations such as the AGA have
various re q u i rements such as a 400 ppm CO Air Free reading on gas range oven ve n t s
• To check heat exchangers for cracks.
- A breach in the heat exchange may result in CO, O2 and Excess Air values that change after the
b l o wer turns on. This is due to an introduction of additional fresh air into the stack gases from
the positive pre s s u r e pushing fresh air into the flue. The Eagle II and III have a test pro c e d u r e
p r ogrammed into the instrument that allow you to capture these values and printout a
comparison of the before and after levels. A change in these values warrants a further look
into the pro b l e m
• To monitor the operation during start-up and shutdow n .
- Many problems with burners may show an increase in CO at these points earlier than when the
equipment is at operating temperature. A slight rise in CO during these times may be typical,
but anything over 400 would indicate a pro b l e m .
• To establish a base-line of desired perf o r m a n c e
- By tracking the performance over time you are able to see changes before they lead to
equipment failure .

• Equipment that is not properly adjusted, or that has insufficient draft to vent combustion gases could
p r oduce carbon monoxide in deadly quantities. The UEi Eagle Series test both flue gas and ambient
l e v els of carbon monoxide. A specific test is programmed into the Eagle II and Eagle III to measure
CO levels over a 30-minute period, and provides a printout to document your test re s u l t s .
• When customers complain about fumes it is usually an indication of improper operation. CO is a
colorless, odorless gas so the fumes are not the CO, but an indication that a problem may exist.

• The UEi Eagle combustion analyzers give a quick, continuous readout of the combustion process.
Readings change in real-time as adjustments are made to help ze r o in on the proper setting. Compare
this to spot tests or other methods, and you will see your productivity rise.
• Proper testing with documented results will help you provide the proper service or equipment re p l a c e m e n t
recommendations, and have the data to support this. Sales will increase because you are no longer
guessing, and the work provided is proper for the needs of the customer.
• Customers on a service contract will be provided excellent service, and you will quickly diagnose failures
and help keep the equipment up for the season.
