Peak Hold Mode allows the user to view the peak methane reading
for the operating session while viewing the current methane reading.
To enter Peak Hold Mode:
1. Turn the GX-2012 on as described in “Turning On the GX-2012,
Leak Check Mode” on page 83. Select the desired display range. In
the example below, 500 ppm has been selected.
2. Press and hold the RESET SILENCE button until the Peak Hold
Mode screen displays.
The current methane reading is displayed on the first line. The

third line. The full scale value is displayed on the fourth line.
3. The peak reading displayed while in Leak Check Mode will appear
in the Peak Hold Mode screen.

the full scale value will be displayed. If the full scale value is
changed to something higher, the real value for the peak will be
displayed.
