What does 'Run Mode Error: The selected log mode will exceed the allowed number of samples' mean on TSI Incorporated Measuring Instruments?
If your TSI Incorporated Measuring Instruments displays 'Run Mode Error: The selected log mode will exceed the allowed number of samples', it means the selected Run Mode program is programmed to save more samples than there is room in memory. Reduce the number of samples by reducing the test length or increasing the logging interval.
What does 'Run Mode Error: The start time has passed' mean on TSI Incorporated Measuring Instruments?
If your TSI Incorporated Measuring Instruments displays 'Run Mode Error: The start time has passed', it means the selected Run Mode program has “Use Start Date” selected, but the start date is prior to the current date. Correct or change the run mode program.
What to do if I get an error completing Zero Cal on my TSI Incorporated Measuring Instruments?
If you receive an error completing Zero Cal on your TSI Incorporated Measuring Instruments, it may be caused by too much light scatter in the optics chamber due to dust deposits. Clean the inlet nozzle. Attach the zero filter and sample for about 2 minutes. During sampling, pulse the flow going into the DustTrak monitor by intermittently plugging the zero filter. Any dust in the optics chamber will break loose during flow pulsations and will be cleared out by the pump. Perform Zero Cal again. If the Zero Cal still cannot be performed, factory service may be required.
Why doesn't my TSI Incorporated Measuring Instruments store new data in survey mode?
If your TSI Incorporated Measuring Instruments does not store new data, it might be because the instrument is in Survey mode. The instrument does not store data in survey mode. Change to manual or program log mode.
Why is the analog output not working on my TSI Incorporated Measuring Instruments?
If the analog output of your TSI Incorporated Measuring Instruments isn't working, ensure the cable connector is fully seated. Also, verify that the output is wired with the correct polarity, making sure the analog out (+) and analog ground (-) are correctly wired to the data-logger.
What to do if there is no touch-screen response on my TSI Incorporated Measuring Instruments?
If the touch screen on your TSI Incorporated Measuring Instruments isn't responding, it could be because the instrument is currently busy. The instrument requires time to open large data files and save configuration information, and it won't respond to additional touches during this time. Another possibility is that the touchscreen is locked. If the lock in the title bar is red, unlock the instrument following the instructions in Chapter 3, Operation: Title Bar section of this manual.
How to troubleshoot erratic zero reading on TSI Incorporated Measuring Instruments?
To address an erratic zero reading on your TSI Incorporated Measuring Instruments, start by checking the connections for any leaks. Inspect the inlet port and sample tube for dirt. If internal filters are not installed properly, replace the zero filter and clean the inlet port and tubing. Ensure the filters and o-rings are seated correctly in the internal filter wells, replacing the internal filters if needed.
What does 'System Error has Occurred!' mean on TSI Incorporated Measuring Instruments?
If you encounter a 'System Error' on your TSI Incorporated Measuring Instruments, the processor might not be receiving the expected input. Reboot the instrument. If the error persists, factory service may be required.
Why doesn't the alarm output work on my TSI Incorporated Measuring Instruments?
If the alarm output of your TSI Incorporated Measuring Instruments isn't functioning correctly, ensure the alarm function is enabled in the Settings->Alarm screen. Also, verify that the alarm settings are correct within the same screen. Lastly, confirm that the alarm output is wired with the correct polarity, ensuring the voltage input is connected to the alarm input (+).
