Before a measurement task can commence, there are a variety of
parameters that must be defined first. This is called “Setting up the
Monitor”.
This chapter instructs you on how to set up the monitoring system
before starting to measure. As mentioned previously in this manual,
the parameters can be defined using the PC Use instructions, i.e.
when using a PC, or the stand-alone Use instructions, i.e. when using
the front panel push-keys on the monitor.
Before leaving the factory, each of the parameters found in the set-
up “tree” (see the Quick Set-up Guide) are given factory values
(default values).
When setting-up the Monitor as a stand-alone instrument, those
values with a cursor underneath them are the active values. It is
the active values, which determine how the Monitor will operate.
Warning! Failure to define any parameter may result in the default
parameters being used. This can result in the monitor measuring
incorrectly or being unable to start the measurement task.
7.1 The Parameters’ Units
The Monitor works internally with measurement parameters in SI
units. These units can be converted and displayed as a variety of
other measurement units. Defining the units here has two uses. It
enables you to set-up the measurement parameters using familiar
units and displays the measurement results with the desired
concentration units.
These parameters are listed below.
Table 7.1 The possible parameter units and the default settings
Parameters Units Default Unit
Humidity mg/m 3 , ppm, Tdew, kPa mg/m 3
Pressure mbar, mmHg, kPa kPa
Temperature °C, °F, K °C
Gas Concentrations mg/m 3 , ppm mg/m 3
Length m, ft m
The units for existing measurement results can also be changed
using these instructions.
