    Never heard of it. But there are so many tried and true, battle proven analyzers, I'd stick to one of those.

    There was an error rendering this rich post.

    I don't believe Lochinvar makes analyzers.
    Are you trying to tune a Lochinvar boiler? Any analyzer that measures CO and O2 will do that.

    I believe that is the new Blue Flame analyzer from a company in Florida. Not sure what country they are made in. In the high price range because it measure and calculates more than most need, Fairly new in the US market. Durability, serviceability and usability have yet to be determied.

    It looks to be about late 2000s ...and definately says lockinvar on it ...but I think the sensors are done....cause it's not reading but also no alarms I was gonna buy it off a guy his uncle bought it and passed soon after but without any info on it I'll have to pass

    It reads flue temp but lines across CO and O2

    The sensors likely don't last more than 3 years or so. Unless you can find a service center with fresh parts, you probably are looking at an interesting paper weight.

    @Randyhofer2021

    Chances are Lochinvar didn't make it. Chances are it's made by another mfg and rebranded. Do you have a picture

    If it’s combustion analyzer related, just nod your head at whatever Captain CO says

    Looks like an older E-Instruments analyzer
