Default scale of 01.00 will be seen. Enter the SCALE factor required by using

How to Calculate the SCALE Factor:
The TWA result obtained from the filter used during a monitoring exercise
is compared against the TWA displayed by the SM-4000 LCD in the
REVIEW DATA option.
From the two results a simple calculation is used to obtain the SCALE
factor for that sample and atmosphere type.
Filter TWA result
SM-4000 TWA result = SCALE
EXAMPLE:
Filter TWA was 5 mg/m
3
HD-1004 TWA was 2.5 mg/m

2.5
= 2
Scale factor to be entered for the next
sample in the same atmosphere is 02.00
