    What to do if Rae Measuring Instruments reading abnormally high?

      Roberto MorrisAug 2, 2025
      If your Rae Measuring Instruments readings are abnormally high, there might be several reasons. First, the filter could be dirty, in which case you should replace it. Second, the sensor module might be dirty, so try blow-drying it. Excessive moisture or water condensation, or incorrect calibration, can also cause this issue, so calibrate the unit.

      If the Rae Measuring Instruments readings are abnormally low, consider these potential causes. A dirty filter could be the problem, so replace it. Alternatively, the sensor module might be dirty; in this case, remove the Calibration Adapter. If the lamp is weak or dirty, or the unit is incorrectly calibrated, calibrate the unit. Also, check for air leakage.

    What to do if the inlet flow is too low in Rae Measuring Instruments?
    • B
      bacevedoAug 22, 2025
      If the inlet flow is too low in your Rae Measuring Instruments, it could be due to a damaged pump diaphragm or debris, or flow path leaks. Check the flow path for leaks, including the sensor module O-ring, tube connectors, and Teflon tube compression fitting.
