      If the temperature reading is inaccurate on your TPS Measuring Instruments and cannot be calibrated, it could be due to a faulty connector, sensor, or instrument. Check the connector and replace it if necessary. If the problem persists, fit a new sensor (part number 121247). If the issue still continues, return the instrument to the factory for repair.

    Why are the readings unstable on my TPS Measuring Instruments?
    • D
      David WillisNov 24, 2025
      Unstable readings on your TPS Measuring Instruments can be due to several reasons: * A blocked reference junction. * A dirty glass bulb. * A bubble in the glass bulb. * A faulty connection to the meter. * The reference junction not being immersed properly. * KCl crystals around the reference junction inside the electrolyte chamber. To resolve this: * Clean the reference junction as per instructions supplied with the sensor. * Clean the glass bulb as per instructions supplied with the sensor. * Flick the sensor to remove any bubble. * Check the connectors and replace if necessary. * Ensure both the bulb and the reference junction are fully immersed. * Rinse the electrolyte chamber with warm distilled water until the crystals are dissolved, then replace the electr...
