Issues with Kane 458s

Bought unit back end of April 2022.

1st. Problem sent back to Kane on 7th July. After flue sampling it would take 2 minutes to slowly drop coppm. Then hang at 4 coppm for next to 3 to 4 minute's before zeroing in fresh air. Also ratio would jump around.

Kane fitted a new CO sensor.

2nd. Problem sent back to kane on 6/12/2022. On older pre-condensing boilers I'm getting unbelievable clean ratios of.
Example given:

Ideal Mexico rs 80
Co2 7.9%
Coppm 10
Ratio 0.00001

Baxi solo 2 60pf
Co2 6.7%
Coppm 5
Ratio 0.0000

These are both fixed rate burners which I would expect ratios of between 0.0006 to 0.0030. Both are pre-condensing boilers.

I'm beginning to lose confidence with this analyser. My previous 455 I had no issues with.

Kane has had the analyser back for service now for 6 days. I phoned kane today and somebody was supposed to ring back but know one has.

Has anybody had the same issues

I am having exactly the same problems. I upgraded from a 455 to a 458s directly with Kane. Mine has been back twice in the past 2 years and has gone again. It starts by getting extremely low CO readings until the point where it regesters nothing. It was only serviced and calibrated 4 weeks ago.
I find that I can't trust it to give me accurate results. Really frustrating.
