is it normal for this dector to read 16 parts per million when i push the peak level button?

Yes, 16 ppm is not an unusual reading. That is the peak reading, not the current reading. Many activities in a home can cause a short spike in CO levels, and 16 ppm for a short period is nothing to worry about. However, with this detector, you don't actually know how long you've been exposed to 16 ppm, and if it is a constant exposure, it exceeds EPA and WHO exposure limits for 24 hours.

Yes. I think it is normal. Mine does the same thing. Unfortunately the manual doesn't bother to mention it.

Yes. I had the same problem at first. Enter CPLX mode (mode 3). Mode 0 defaults to fractional answers. At least that's the way it is on my EL-W516.

I have had mine up to 480 with no issues. I don't remember what the book said tho. Hope that helps!

Default setting is High... Therefor im sure people looking to increase output don't need to know this.

ours came set to 100 maybe that is what they are all set to. so try dialing it to 100 and see if that opens it .

It might be defective programming that it was given. If you want to keep it, just adjust the timing.

It easily and quickly reaches 400+...I have only used it twice and seems like it hit 500/600 when just getting it started, wide open.

Mine appears to do the same thing (in hundredths & thousandths digits) especially when I shake the unit or leads. Goes to steady zero when I touch leads. I don't think this is defect.

Use the Min/Max function. When it's blinking, activate the circuit and then cycle the Min/Max button to read values. Keep in mind, if you have the clamp probe turned the wrong way a negative value may show as "Max." Hope this answers your question

As soon as you turn the device on, it has a live continuous readout. There is another button on the right side that determines the highest peak and the lowest. Hope that helps :)

I noticed the same thing, but read something about it being "standardized" to 65%... not really sure what that means. You might want to contact the company to see if they can clarify for you.

Mine always automatically turns of after a couple of minutes of idle time. But all you have to do is push the power button and it will again take three readings and give you the average.

It depends on how much data you are wanting to save to the internal logger. If you are logging every NMEA sentence it's going to be slower. I can't see 15 seconds though. Look in the new driver if I remember right there is a way to speed it up using interrupts.

The max record I don't know, bu tthe mics are automatic disable when you put line in

I noticed the same thing, it reads higher than the bayer one I have also by 20 points. This meter is a piece of junk in my opinion, wastes lots of strips.

Mine changes by single numbers, so I get odd and even. (88.2, 88.3, 88.4 and so on) I'm wondering if yours is defective, that doesn't sound right!
