  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 to do if there is no touch-screen response on my TSI Incorporated Measuring Instruments?
- T
  Teresa ValdezSep 9, 2025
  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.

What to do if I get an error completing Zero Cal on my TSI Incorporated Measuring Instruments?
- K
  Keith GreenSep 14, 2025
  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.
