Press and hold C. TWA, STEL, and peak exposures are
displayed in ppm or %.
TWA = accumulated exposure to toxic gases averaged
over a work day based on the OSHA or ACGIH method
(Not applicable to O2 and LEL)
STEL = short-term exposure to gas based on a 5-15 min.
user selectable period (Not applicable to O2 and LEL)
PEAK (MAX) = maximum concentration encountered*
*For Oxygen, it is the highest or the lowest concentration
encountered.
