- R
  russellwilliamAug 28, 2025
  If your TSI Incorporated Measuring Instruments shows a 'Flow Error' on the screen, and you're sampling from a duct, the instrument might be struggling with pressure differences. Attach both the input and exhaust ports to the duct. If there's a flow obstruction, remove it. Press any key to bypass. Note that factory service may be required if the problem persists. Also, check if the filter cassette is clogged or has mass loading and replace it if necessary. For Model 8533EP, ensure the external pump module is correctly connected, the tubing isn't kinked, the exhaust adapter is connected, and the external pump module filters are clean.

  If the analog output of your TSI Incorporated Measuring Instruments isn't proportional to the display, the analog output range in the DustTrak monitor may be set incorrectly. Check the analog output setting in the Setup->Analog screen, ensuring the correct channel is selected and the appropriate output (0 to 5V, 4 to 20 mA) is chosen. Also, review the scaling factor set in the Setup-Analog screen, as the data logger scaling factor may be set incorrectly.
