Course Learning Outcomes

After completing this training, you’ll confidently use measureQuick to:

• Calculate real-time efficiency and verify safety through simultaneous measurement of inlet gas pressure, manifold pressure, gas input, total external static pressure, and temperature rise
• Understand why gas meter clocking is non-negotiable (input must be within 2% of nameplate rating)
• Leverage manufacturer install manuals as your roadmap to successful commissioning
• Integrate direct combustion analyzer inputs into your workflow
• Generate and interpret the mQ Vitals Score and comprehensive reports
• Recognize how profile selection and probe placement directly impact high-efficiency system performance
• Utilize live streaming to share real-time measurements with office staff and field support
• Determine correct manifold gas pressure settings (typically 3.2-3.8″ w.c.) for optimal flame characteristics
• Adjust manifold pressure based on actual appliance input (not just default settings)
• Calculate actual furnace output and operating efficiency
• Identify CO sources and potential migration pathways
• Test natural draft appliances under worst-case conditions
• Perform electrical diagnostics including polarity, motor power factor, and amperage analysis
• Monitor ambient CO levels, understand action thresholds, and reduce liability exposure

Additional Topics Covered

• Evaluating Combustion Appliance Zone (CAZ) makeup air adequacy
• Recognizing the consequences of incomplete combustion
• Navigating high-altitude challenges: equipment derating, natural gas BTU variations, combustion air deficiencies, airflow restrictions, and heat exchanger failure risks that contribute to elevated CO poisoning incidents
• Understanding the connection between low airflow, vent system failures, and the critical importance of proper vent installation techniques
