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.
NOTE: If the gas concentration exceeds the display range without
exceeding 5000 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 500 ppm but the gas level is
2300 ppm, the display will read 500 ppm but the instrument
will save a reading of 2300 ppm.
If the gas concentration exceeds 5000 ppm in the Peak
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 and OVER
will 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.
