Testo Mini Ambient Air Probe

This mini ambient air probe is designed to plug directly into your Testo flue gas analyser, giving you accurate room air temperature readings needed for efficiency calculations. Getting a reliable ambient temp is crucial for precise combustion analysis, especially when tuning boilers or engines in varying Australian conditions.

It's a straightforward tool built tough enough for daily use on site, helping you get the right data every time for optimal system performance.

Best For

• HVAC techs and service teams performing combustion analysis
• Boiler and burner specialists tuning commercial or industrial systems
• Refrigeration apprentices learning flue gas analysis fundamentals
• Competent owners maintaining their own Testo 340 analysers

Compatibility

This probe is built for direct plug-in use with the Testo 340 series of flue gas analysers, including models like the Testo 340 - Combustion Analyser, Boiler and Burner Kit, Engine Kit, and Mining Tuner Kit. It uses a standard 8-pin connector for a solid, reliable connection.

If you're running a different model, check fittings and specs before ordering.

Features

• Direct Analyser Connection: Plugs straight into compatible Testo flue gas analysers for quick setup.
• Accurate Ambient Temp: Provides precise room air temperature readings essential for correct combustion efficiency calculations.
• Robust Construction: Features a plastic basket for increased shock resistance, handling the knocks of daily site work.
• Wide Measuring Range: Capable of measuring temperatures from 0 to +80 °C (32° to 176 °F).
• Standard 8-pin Connector: Ensures a secure and consistent data link to your analyser.

What's in the Box

• 1x Testo Mini Ambient Air Probe (0600 3692)

Using It on the Job

1. Power up your Testo flue gas analyser and allow it sufficient time to warm up and stabilise as per the manufacturer's instructions.
2. Carefully plug the 8-pin connector of the mini ambient air probe directly into the designated port on your Testo analyser.
3. Position the probe in the ambient air of the room or area you are testing, ensuring it is away from direct drafts, heat sources (like hot flue pipes), or cold spots to obtain a true representative temperature.
4. Allow a few moments for the probe's reading to stabilise on the analyser display before recording the ambient temperature for your combustion efficiency calculations.
5. Once testing is complete, carefully unplug the probe and store it in your analyser's case or a suitable tool bag to protect the sensor from damage.

Limitations & Safety Notes

• This probe is specifically designed for use with compatible Testo 340 series flue gas analysers only.
• Do not expose the probe to temperatures outside its specified measuring range of 0 to +80 °C.
• While featuring a shock-resistant design, avoid unnecessary drops or impacts to protect the delicate sensor.
• Always consult your Testo flue gas analyser's operating manual for correct connection procedures and safety guidelines.
• Not intended for immersion in liquids or direct contact with corrosive gases.

Tradie Pro Tip: When doing combustion analysis, ambient air temperature is often overlooked but critical for accurate efficiency calculations. Don't eyeball it or guess; use a dedicated probe like this to ensure your readings are spot-on, especially on older, less insulated sites where ambient conditions can vary wildly.
