Gas Units The Gas Units screen defines how the CO concentration readings is
expressed. Gas units of parts per million (ppm) and milligrams per cubic
meter (mg/m
3
) are available. The mg/m
3
gas concentration mode is
calculated using a standard pressure of 760 mmHg and a standard
temperature of 20 °C.
When switching from ppm to mg/m
3
, the analog ranges all default to the
highest range in that mode. For example, when switching from mg/m
3
to
ppm, all the ranges default to 10,000 ppm. Therefore, whenever you change
units, you should also check the range settings.
• In the Main Menu, choose Range > Gas Units.
•Use and for a list of choices.
• Press to save the new units.
• Press to return to the Range menu or to return to the
Run screen.
Note If the units change from ppm to mg/m
3
or vice versa, a display
warning will appear that ranges will be defaulted and calibration parameters
reset.
