RKI Instruments Gas Tracer 10,000 ppm - Manual (Page 37)

10,000 ppm Gas Tracer Operator’s Manual Leak Testing • 30
NOTE: If the gas concentration exceeds the display range value
without exceeding 9990 ppm, the full scale display range
value will be displayed but the actual gas reading at that time
will be recorded when you press and release POWER ENTER.
For example, if the display range is 1000 ppm but the gas level
is 2300 ppm, the display will read 1000 ppm but the
instrument will save a reading of 2300 ppm.
If the gas concentration exceeds 9990 ppm in the Base
Reading Screen, the instrument will go into an overscale
alarm and turn off the ppm sensor in order to protect it. The
full scale display range value will be displayed but OVER will
be recorded when you press POWER ENTER. The full scale
display range value will continue to be displayed in the Peak
Reading Screen and OVER will again be recorded when you
press POWER ENTER. The instrument will then enter a 30
second warm up period in order to turn the ppm sensor on
again.
4. The unit will display SAVED along the bottom of the screen before
continuing to the Peak Reading Screen.
5. Take the instrument to the monitoring area. The instrument will
retain and display the highest gas concentration encountered. To
save the peak reading, press and release the POWER ENTER
button. The reading on the screen (the highest concentration
encountered) will be saved.
