Self-Test Pass
When the detector has passed all startup self-tests, it enters normal
operation. The LCD displays the ambient gas readings.
The detector automatically begins

• calculating the short-term exposure level (STEL), and
• calculating the time-weighted average (TWA) exposures.
Self-Test Fail
If the following error message displays after entering normal operation,
refer to Startup Troubleshooting
.
