Lamp 
Enables the selection of different lamp types you may have 

purchased to use with your instrument. 

 

 

 

 
 
 

Application 
Enables the selection and de-selection of Health & Safety mode and the selection of ppm, ppb or mg/m

3

. In 

Health & Safety mode STEL and TWA timings can be adjusted to reflect the changes in legislation between the 
US and Europe.  

The instrument can be set to security mode which enables the locking of the user interface so that the 
instrument functions can not be changed manually. To de-select security mode, switch the instrument Off then 

On, you then have 2 minutes from 'switch on' to connect your instrument to a PC and select Instrument / 
Menu set up. This will automatically place your instrument in PC mode ready for download or further 

adjustment. VOC smoothing relates to the PID reading and is used to have a dampening affect on the 
measurements for high gain factor gases. In effect increasing the T90 time to create a smoother graph. This 

affect can only be applied when in 'Survey' mode it does not apply in Heath & Safety.
