High Co on gas fire

[Danv44444]

Hi Guys, I went to service an LPG gas stove today. I carried out the service to the manufacturers instruction and everything was fine. I put my FGA in the flue outside and the ratio was fine. When i tried to turn off the FGA it wouldnt and kept saying "High Co" the co% was 7.6. The flame picture on the fire was fine? Does anyone know why this might happen? What would cause hi co?

you should not really be using your fga on a gas fire,they have modified very coarse flames so i would expect your fga to have a wobbly

co is read as parts per million, so what was the figure?
the % figure would most likely be co2

I think it was about 150ppm. I did test in the room where the fire was and it was 0.

if you did a co room test 15/20 mins with a peak level less than 10 ppm its a pass on room test well on the regs in ireland is813 any way not sure uk
LPG poc will have a higher coult than ng anyway

Firstly, you should never turn off a FGA until you have left it in clean/fresh air until it has chance to purge itself after taking combustion readings.
Secondly, as mentioned, unless the manufacturer states FGA must be used on fire, (not aware of any with exception of fluless)I would not use my FGA on a fire. There is no need to.

kane analyser?

mine does this sometimes, i will not turn off untill the ppm is below a certain level. You need to remove your probe and allow the analyser to purge for 20 seconds or so to get the levels down. Its a safety feature to protect the cells.
