• "CLR" displays.
• STEL is automatically reset to zero when the instrument is
turned ON.
• STEL value is calculated over a 15-minute exposure.
• The following formula is used to calculate the STEL value:
(Minute #1 PPM value) + (Minute #2 PPM value) +....
(minute #15 PPM value) / (15 minutes) = PPM STEL value
• If the instrument is ON for less than 15 minutes:
• the balance of the minute PPM values is set to zero and
• the total is divided by 15 minutes.
