The testo 310 (2nd Gen) Printer Kit is a compact, Bluetooth-enabled flue gas analyser for gas and oil-fired boiler testing, supplied with printing capability for instant on-site documentation. It combines quick sensor zeroing, a colour display and testo Smart App connectivity for efficient diagnostics. It is designed for boiler servicing, printed customer reports, combustion checks, CO safety testing and efficiency verification.
  • Fast flue gas checks with on-device combustion calculations.
  • Measures O₂, CO, temperature, draught and pressure.
  • Bluetooth connection to the testo Smart App for digital reporting.
  • Included printer for instant on-site documentation.
  • Rugged, engineer-friendly design for everyday heating work.

How to Test, Record, and Report Boiler Results on Site

When engineers need to measure combustion values and provide proof of results, the testo 310 2nd Gen Printer Kit simplifies the process. It combines accurate flue gas analysis with on-site printing, helping engineers complete boiler checks and hand over results during the same visit.
This is useful for domestic servicing, landlord maintenance, and light commercial heating work. Printed results reduce handwritten paperwork and provide a clear record for customers, service files, and internal job history.

Why Printed Combustion Results Improve Service Quality

Clear documentation helps demonstrate that boiler performance has been checked professionally. The printer kit allows engineers to produce a physical record of key flue gas readings after testing.

Printed reports are useful for:
  • Customer handovers after boiler servicing
  • Landlord and property maintenance records
  • Internal business documentation
  • Service history and repeat maintenance visits

For example, after servicing a combi boiler, an engineer can test combustion, adjust burner settings if needed, retest, and print the final results before leaving site.

How Accurate O₂ and CO Measurement Supports Safer Boilers

Poor combustion can lead to unsafe CO levels, low efficiency, and repeated appliance faults. The testo 310 2nd Gen helps engineers identify these issues by measuring O₂, CO, flue gas temperature, and ambient temperature.
Automatic calculated values such as CO₂, excess air, and efficiency help engineers assess boiler performance more clearly. This supports faster diagnostics, better burner adjustment, and more confident service decisions.

Key testing functions include:
  • O₂ measurement for air-to-fuel ratio checks
  • CO measurement for incomplete combustion risks
  • Flue gas temperature measurement
  • Ambient temperature measurement
  • Efficiency, CO₂, and excess air calculation

Why Ambient CO and Draught Checks Matter

Ambient CO testing helps engineers check surrounding areas for carbon monoxide risk during servicing and fault finding. Draught measurement helps confirm that the flue is drawing correctly and that combustion gases are leaving the building safely.
These checks support safer boiler maintenance and professional workflows linked to UK guidance such as BS 7967 for carbon monoxide and combustion performance testing.

How Smart Connectivity Supports Digital and Printed Reporting

Modern heating work often needs both digital records and printed proof. The testo 310 2nd Gen supports Bluetooth® connectivity with the testo Smart App, allowing engineers to view live readings, generate PDF reports, and manage measurement data from a smartphone or tablet.
The printer kit adds immediate hard-copy output for on-site documentation. For a wider toolkit, link this product to testo printer paper, replacement filters, calibration services, Smart Probes, gas leak detectors, differential pressure meters, and the testo 300 series for advanced diagnostics.

Draught measurement in the flue gas duct

Draught measurement is actually a differential pressure measurement. This differential pressure occurs between two sub-areas as a result of a difference in temperature. This is turn generates a flow to compensate. In the case of flue gas systems, the difference in pressure is an indicator of the “chimney flue draught”. This is measured between the flue gas and ambient air at the measurement orifice at the core of the flue gas flow.

To ensure the flue gases are safely transported through the chimney there must be a differential pressure (chimney flue draught) for boiler systems that work with low pressure.

If the draught is permanently too high, the average flue gas temperature increases and therefore flue gas loss. The level of efficiency drops.

If the draught is permanently too low, oxygen may be lacking during combustion, resulting in soot and carbon monoxide. This will also cause a drop in the level of efficiency.

Ambient CO measurement in the heated environment

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless, odourless and taste-free gas, but also poisonous. It is produced during the incomplete combustion of substances containing carbon (oil, gas, and solid fuels, etc.). If CO manages to get into the bloodstream through the lungs, it combines with haemoglobin thus preventing oxygen from being transported in the blood; this in turn will result in death through suffocation. This is why it is necessary to regularly check CO emissions at the combustion points of heating systems, and places often frequented by people (in our case, where the combustion systems for hot water generation are), and in the surrounding areas.

Measuring the flue gas parameters of the burner (CO, O2, and temperature, etc.)

The flue gas measurement for a heating system helps to establish the pollutants released with the flue gas (e.g. carbon monoxide CO) and the heating energy lost with the warm flue gas. In some countries, flue gas measurement is a legal requirement. It primarily has two objectives:

1. Ensuring the atmosphere is contaminated as little as possible by pollutants; and

2. energy is used as efficiently as possible.

Stipulated pollutant quantities per flue gas volume and energy losses must never be exceeded.

Measurement in terms of results required by law takes place during standard operation (every performance primarily using the appliance). Using a Lambda probe (single hole or multi-hole probe), the measurement is taken at the centre of flow in the connecting pipe (in the centre of the pipe cross-section, not at the edge) between the boiler and chimney/flue. The measured values are recorded by the flue gas analyzer and can be logged either for print out or transfer to a PC at a later stage.

Measurement is taken by the installer at commissioning, and if necessary four weeks later by the flue gas inspector/chimney sweep, and then at regular intervals by the authorised service engineer.

Measuring pressure on burners (nozzle pressure, gas flow pressure, etc.)

Standard readings taken during services of domestic heating systems include checking the gas pressure on the burners. This involves measuring the gas flow pressure and gas resting pressure. The flow pressure, also called supplied pressure, refers to the gas pressure of the flowing gas and resting pressure of the static gas. If the flow pressure for gas boilers is slightly outside the 18 to 25 mbar range, adjustments must not be made and the boiler must not be put into operation. If put into operation nonetheless, the burner will not be able to function properly, and explosions will occur when setting the flame and ultimately malfunctions; the burner will therefore fail and the heating system will shut down.
