types.
4. Insert the barrel of the SOX3 into
ue.
5. Press MEASURE/HOLD to begin tak-
ing measurements.
6. Use the up arrow button to toggle
the upper display between %O
2
and
%CO
2
.
7. Use the down arrow button to
toggle the lower (right) display

condensing or non-condensing).
8. Make sure all holes in the ue are
sealed after testing is nished.
Description
The SOX3 is a portable hand
held automated combustion check
designed for the HVACR technician.
The SOX3 provides all the essential
measurements for checking and
tuning combustion equipment.
Measure ue temperature and %O
2
directly to view the calculated %CO
2
,
%Excess Air (%EA) and %Eciency (%)
for condensing or non-condensing
equipment.
The ergonomic handle and 8ft hose
make for easy ue gas measurements.
Use the magnetic strap and the barrel
lock to go entirely hands free.
With three common fuel types as
well as a custom fuel input the SOX3
allows you to check %O
2
, %CO
2
, %EA
and % (eciency) on any combustion
equipment you may encounter.
Keep your SOX3 up and running
longer with the field calibratable
thermocouple and replaceable
oxygen sensor.

How to Use
Pre-Testing
1. Power on the SOX3 and allow the
unit to warm up for 30 seconds.
2. Calibrate temperature if needed (see
Field Temp Calibration).
3. Check that SOX3 water and particle
lters are dry and properly sealed.
4. Thoroughly inspect combustion
equipment for damage.
5. Identify the fuel being combusted
and use the FUEL button on the
SOX3 to select that fuel. For fuel
other than Natural Gas, Oil #2, or
Propane see Custom Fuel setup.
6. Identify the ue and locate service
port for taking ue measurements
or, if necessary, drill a hole using a
1/2" bit (12.7mm) within 18" of the
breech.
7. Once your combustion equipment
has passed all of your preliminary
and visual inspections, turn on the
equipment to be tested.
Testing
1. Identify manufacturer's specica-
tions for % eciency, %EA (% Excess
Air), %CO
2
, or %O
2
in the ue. If
manufacturers specs are not avail-
able see Table 2 (on back).
2. Once combustion equipment has
stabilized, insert rie into ue gas
at service port or drilled hole.
Note: Combustion samples should
be taken before dilution air enters
the system, before components like
draft hoods and barometric damp-
ers. Testing at least 6" upstream of
the breach is the typical location for
most equipment. As a general rule,
the sample hole should be more
than twice the ue diameter away
from any elbows.
3. Press MEASURE/HOLD to start the
internal pump and begin taking fuel
measurements.
4. Toggle between %CO
2
and %O
2
with the up arrow button. Toggle
between %EA and eciency with
the down arrow button.
Note: Eciency calculations displayed
toggle through % efficiency of
condensing "cond" and non-
condensing "nonc" equipment. The
condensing % eciency uses the
high heating value (HHV) and the
non-condensing % eciency uses
the low heating value (LHV) of the
fuel type selected. Identify what
equipment you are working on to
decide which % eciency calcula-
tion to use.
Note: The correct fuel type must be
selected to properly display calcu-
lated values. Eeciency will not be
calculated when using the custom
fuel setting.
5. Wait for readings to stabilize, this
can take a couple minutes.
6. Press the MAX/MIN button to cycle
through maximum, minimum, and
real-time values. (Hold MAX/MIN to
clear saved values.)
7. Once stabilized, press MEASURE/
HOLD to hold measurements and
stop the pump.
8. Make necessary adjustments to
bring the equipment within manu-
facturer's specications.
9. Retest.
Post-Testing
1. Remove the rie from the ue and
allow time for the barrel to cool.
2. Plug any holes you may have put into
the ue, with heat resistant silicone
or comparable plug.
3. Power the meter o. The internal
pump will run for a short time to
purge the meter before completely
shutting o.
4. Open and empty water trap before
storing SOX3 in its case.
Custom Fuel Setup
The SOX3 can be setup to work with
various fuel types. In order to enter a
custom fuel, follow the steps below.
1. Hold the FUEL button, for one sec-
ond until “SET starts blinking in the
upper right corner of the display and

2. Use the Arrow buttons to select the

3. Once you have selected the appro-
priate CO

and return the Hold display.
4. The fuel indication arrow on the
display will automatically be moved

Field Temp Calibration
To calibrate the temperature
sensor, turn the Temp-Cal pot while
measuring a known temperature. Ice
water is very close to 32°F (0°C) and is
readily available.
1. Stabilize a large cup of ice water.
2. Dissconnect water trap in order to cut o suction to
the barrel. This will prevent sucking up water.
3. Plug in the k-type thermocouple and then immerse
the barrel tip of the SOX3 into the ice water.
4. Press the Measure/Hold button and read
temperature on the lower left display.
5. For optimum accuracy, adjust the calibration pot to
read 32°F or 0°C, depending on the scale selected.
