Dealer Design Awards Program
The Dealer Design Awards Program, sponsored by ACHR the News magazine, recognizes product design excellence annually.
An independent panel of contractors acted as judges in the contest and awarded Fieldpiece’s CAT85 Combustion Analyzer HC the gold winner in the testing and monitoring products category.
CAT85 Combustion Analyzer HC
A standout design innovation includes patent pending SensorVault™ technology that seals O2 and CO sensors
The CAT85 Combustion Analyzer HC with wireless printer ensures combustion safety and efficiency of furnaces and simplifies the process for HVACR techs by measuring O2, CO, CO2, flue temperature, air temperature, and draft/gas pressure.
A standout design innovation includes patent pending SensorVault™ technology that seals oxygen and carbon monoxide sensors from the air when the tool is off, resulting in prolonged sensor life.
Sensors
Sensors are warranted for four years and are replaceable in the field directing to maximum uptime on the job site for techs.
Replacement sensors have built-in calibration data, so after a simple swap, the analyzer is ready to go.
HydroCycle™ Pump technology
The CAT85 also has a built-in manometer for one less tool to carry and connects wirelessly
An additional CAT85 innovation includes its HydroCycle™ Pump technology. The pump condenses water vapor pulled through the combustion analyzer probe and returns it to the flue, eliminating the need for a water trap that must be repeatedly emptied.
The CAT85 also has a built-in manometer for one less tool to carry and connects wirelessly to the Fieldpiece Job Link® System App, allowing techs to view trends, draft pressure, and customer details seamlessly and conveniently.

It’s great to see our team’s hard work being recognized for the combustion analyzer design that increases techs’ uptime and effectiveness during furnace installation, maintenance, and repairs,” said Cameron Rouns, chief executive officer at Fieldpiece Instruments.
“Our culture drives everything we do and helps define who we are at Fieldpiece, so we are also very honored to be named on this year’s Best Places to Work SoCal list,” he added.
