After years of research and development, KANE has created KANE LINK, a wireless interface that connects your KANE LINK-enabled 458S, 958, or 988 Flue Gas Analyser to KANE LINK probes, adapters, and monitors, allowing you to carry out measurements wirelessly and remotely. With KANE Link you don’t have to carry multiple pieces of test equipment or navigate dangerous trailing wires; results are wirelessly transmitted to your flue gas analyser, and you can send data to print or to a smartphone/tablet with the KANE LIVE app installed, enabling you to work faster, easier, and more accurately.

KANE is rapidly expanding their catalogue of LINK-enabled meters. Below are just a few examples of the applications that are made simpler, speedier, and safer using KANE LINK testers.[1]

Quick Links

Test Heat Pumps

KANE LINK WPCP2 Wireless Clamp Probes can be used with your KANE LINK-Enabled 458S, 958, or 988 Flue Gas Analyser to measure the delta temperature of outside heat pumps remotely while you're inside at the control panel. Readings are displayed on your flue gas analyser and can be stored on the FGA or sent to print or the KANE LIVE app installed on your smartphone/tablet. These clamps can also be used to take normal flow and return temperatures around a property without you having to move your flue gas analyser around the building.

The Kane LINK logo is in the top left of the image. Next to it in the main body of the image are two KANE WPCP2 Wireless Clamp Probes on copper pipes. A Kane 458S FGA is on the right. The background is blue gas burners.

Test Gas Boilers Using Hydrogen

Soon gas boilers will be using gas blended with 20% carbon-free hydrogen (H2). KANE guarantees that KANE LINK Flue Gas Analysers like the 458S, 958, and 988 will continue to be as accurate as ever, even if the UK switches to 100% carbon-free hydrogen. This is becuase the necessary changes will be automatically made to your FGA at your annual KANE CARE service and recertification (please see KANE CARE below for more information about this service).

Test Oil Boilers Using HVO

If the UK’s oil boilers switch to using HVO, a 100% carbon-free oil substitute, KANE will automatically update your KANE LINK-enabled FGA as part of your annual KANE CARE service and re-certification. This will stop your analyser from becoming redundant, ensuring it is able to analyse the different emissions that may result from this change in fuel.

Test for Carbon Monoxide

With LINK-enabled KANE 79 Wireless Carbon Monoxide (CO) Monitors you can determine the carbon monoxide levels of multiple rooms simultaneously while you remain outside and, therefore, out of harm’s way. Real-time results are wirelessly transmitted to your KANE 458S, 958, or 988 Flue Gas Analyser; they are recorded according to BS7967 and may be sent to your KANE Printer or the KANE LIVE App. Using KANE LINK to monitor four rooms simultaneously could save you up to two hours of testing time.

Test IAQ & Commercial Building Ventilation

When KANE’s DTHA2 Wireless Airflow, Temperature & Humidity Adapter is wirelessly connected to your KANE 458S, 958, and 988 via KANE LINK you can quickly measure the airflow, temperature, and humidity in various rooms within homes, commercial offices, and kitchens. Real-time measurements are wirelessly transferred to your flue gas analyser. This means you can leave it in one room while you gather readings from around the building. Again, results may be sent to your KANE Printer or KANE LIVE App.
