Understanding the display screen 

 

 

Screen display 

 
The display is divided into four sections. 
Fixed  LCD  Status  icons  fill  the  top  of  the  screen  offering  instrument  status  at  a  glance.  The 
Icons  display  only  when  a  function  is  selected.    The  main  central  viewing  screen  will  display 
readings  in  large  numbers  only,  4  digits  and  decimal  place  will  display  0.001  ppm  to  19,999 
ppm. Two soft key areas have been set aside as soft key indicators. The area between the soft 
key indicators displays the measurement units. 
 

 

 

Status icons 

 
 
   

Health  &  Safety:

  The  icon  consists  of  a  single  part  and  will  flash  in  an  alarm 

condition and when health and safety readings are being collected.  
 
 

Peak Hold:

 When peak hold is switched on, the icon appears. 

 

 

 

Memory  status: 

This  icon  only  appears  if  the  instrument  has  the  data  logging 

functionality.  Four sections within the border fill as the data log memory is filled.   
Empty border = 100% memory available through to full, where all segments are 
present. 

 

 
 

USB:

 The icon will appear when connected to a host device. 

 

 

 

Battery  status:

  This  icon  consists  of  a  border  and  four  segments.    The 

segments  fill  or  empty  to  indicate  0-25,  26-50,  51-75  &  76-100%  full.    When 
discharging, the border will flash for 1 minute before the instrument shuts down.  
When charging, the segments will successively fill until 100% charge is reached. 

 

 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

Left is the default
