The Correction Factor (%) option is used to enter compensation factors for hydrocarbons
other than methane. The correction factor is only applicable to LEL and can only be applied
if the LEL sensor has been calibrated with methane. The detector is shipped with the factory
default set to 100%.
Enter a K-factor (industry standard decimal value) in the Correction Factor (%) field. Values
can range from 0.50 - 4.00.
