Preface
Dear Testo customer,
Your decision to buy the testo 300 XXL was an excellent choice.
The testo 300 XXL is designed for flue gas analysis and all measurements in
heating systems.
Thousands of customers buy our high-quality products every year. There are at
least 7 good reasons for this:
1) Our price/performance ratio is good. Reliable quality at a fair price.
2) Substantially extended warranty periods up to 2 years – depending on the model.
3) We provide an optimum solution to your measuring tasks with over 40 years of
professional experience.
4) Our high quality standards are confirmed by the ISO 9001 certificate.
5) Of course, our devices also bear the CE label required by the EU.
6) Calibration certificates for all relevant measurements. Seminars, consulting and
calibration on site.
7) We don’t leave you on your own after your purchase.
Use the device only in the operating and
measuring ranges specified in “Technical data”.
Use the device only under the conditions and for
the purpose for which it was designed. For this,
particularly observe the safety information and the
technical data.
To prevent damage to the instrumentation and
items under test, suitably trained persons should
only use the equipment.
Observe all local Health and Safety regulations
before operating the test equipment.
Do not make measurements on live components.
Observe the warnings on the control unit and
analyser box!
Magnets of the control unit
The magnets of the control unit can damage EC
cards, telephone cards etc.
Operation with mains adapter
Use only the original mains adapter to operate the
device. Replace damaged mains cable only with
an original mains cable of the manufacturer or
agent (i.e. by authorised service).
Check for leaks
The entire measuring system (probe, condensation
trap, filter, hoses and connections) must be
checked for leaks before each measurement, e.g.
by pushing on a collapsed rubber bladder.
Measuring errors can be caused if external air
infiltrates.
Expose the gas outlet
When measuring, ensure that the gas outlets are
exposed to allow the gas to escape unobstructed.
If this is not the case, the measurement results
can be falsified.
Empty the condensation trap
The condensation trap must only be emptied when
the pump is switched off (the measuring cells are
otherwise in danger of damage)!
Disposing of batteries
The end user is legally required to dispose of all
used batteries in accordance with their country’s
regulations.
Disposing of measuring cells
Storing the analyser in rooms containing solvents,
vapours or gases will damage the measurement
cells e.g. cleaning fluids, polishes, paints, cooking
operations. Protect the device from direct sunlight
and store at temperatures <45°C.
Storing the device
Storing the analyser in rooms containing solvents,
vapours or gases will damage the measurement
cells e.g. cleaning fluids, polishes, paints, cooking
operations. Protect the device from direct sunlight
and store at temperatures <45°C.
Charge the battery before use
Before making the first measurement or after
several days of disuse, fully charge the internal
battery (see menu Service
Operating values). Charge the battery at least
every 4 weeks during longer periods of disuse to
prevent damagingly low discharging.
Changing the configuration
Switch off the device to change the configuration
(e.g. probe change), as the device reads the
probe-specific values when it is switched on.
PC cable connected
When the PC cable is connected, it is impossible
to issue a print command.
Using probes with plug head
Ensure the good contact of probes with plug
heads. Fully tighten the union nut on the probe
handle.
Opening the device
If the device is opened, misused or subjected to
force, the warranty will be voided.
Because the pressure sensor heats up, it is
recommended to wait on the “Warm up” for 15
minutes to achieve the best possible accuracy.

System description
Device operation
The analyser measurement box is controlled, read
and programmed using the control unit.
The operation of the testo 300 XXL is designed so
that the key functions are visible at all times on
the display.
The keypad
The function keys allow rapid changes of the
functions of the device and the overall control of
the measurement. The significance of the function
keys is indicated in the function bar. Not all
function keys are used in every menu. Arrows in
the function bar indicate further accessible
functions in the menu. When the right or
left cursor key is pressed, these additional
functions are displayed and can be activated with
the function key.
With the up /down cursor keys, you
can browse between the reading windows (in the
measurement menu) or select a menu item in a
list. When you have reached the last
window/menu item, the device automatically loops
back to the first window or the first menu item.
With the Browse key, you can branch from
the measurement menu to the main menu or from
a submenu to the measurement menu.
The I/O button switches the device on and off.
With the Cancel key, you can terminate
selected procedures or a chosen selection and exit
submenus. When you exit a submenu, you will
always move one menu window backwards until
you reach the main menu.
With the Acknowledge key, the selection or
the execution of the selected function is accepted.
If the key is pressed in the measurement
menu, the menu “Device selection list” appears.
The menu provides information on which device is
in use. 001=Control unit active, 002=Analyser box
active etc. If an analyser box is connected, this is
indicated automatically in the window when the
device is started.
With the Lighting key , the display lighting
can be switched on and off or the automatic timer
can be started.
The display
The display constantly shows all important
information.
In the Reading/Menu display area, 6 readings
per window are indicated in the measurement
menu. Only three readings are indicated in larger
lettering when the zoom function is used (by
function key).
The function bar indicates the significance of the
individual function keys . Their effects can
change according to the menu. The description of
the function keys changes accordingly on the
display.
The function bar can be assigned as desired to
all functions of the function menu. When the key
is pressed together with a function key, the
function menu opens. The entries in the function
menu change according to the connected
components of the measuring system.
The Operation display provides a graphic de-
scription of the current mode of the device, e.g.
whether the pump of the device is running and if
the device is running in mains operation.
The Location box constantly shows whether and
which location hasn’t been selected and is active.
If no location has been selected, “NONAME”
appears on the display.
In the measurement menu, the Reading window
on the right indicates the measured value window
in which you are currently working, e.g. 2/5
indicates that you are working in the second of 5
possible pages.
Errors are indicated on the display as soon as they
occur. The “!” symbol in the status display often
indicates the occurrence of errors.
The touchscreen function (option) allows
direct access to the functions indicated on the
display using a special pen. A brief
touch is sufficient to activate the function.

Example measurement
Correct use of the flue gas probe
The measurement of the flue gas temperature is made by
the thermocouple at the tip of the flue gas probe. The probe
tube protects the thermocouple, but has openings in to
allow the stream of flue gas to envelop the thermocouple.
The
temperature
measurement is made during the zeroing phase. The flue
gas probe can be adjusted in the flue at this time (Note: the
AT probe must be connected). This makes it possible to
conduct a core current search during the zeroing phase. The
temperature measured by the flue gas probe is interpreted
by the testo 300 XXL as the combustion air temperature
unless a AT probe is connected (Note: the probe must be
removed from the flue). When the zeroing phase has been
completed, this value is saved as the combustion air
temperature value.
All dependent parameters are calculated by this value.

Flue gas

correct
The thermocouple must always be exposed to the stream
of flue gas to allow an exact measurement of the flue
gas temperature and thereby a precise determination of
the flue gas losses. It must not be screened by a web of
the probe pipe.
The tip of the thermocouple must not touch the guard. If
necessary, bend the tip of the thermocouple accordingly.
