48  Electronic Balancing Tool EBT720/EBT721 and ProHood PH720/PH721 
Calibration 
TSI recommends an annual calibration for the instrument. For a nominal fee, we will calibrate the unit 
and return it to you with a certificate of calibration and NIST traceability. This “annual checkup” assures 
you of consistently accurate readings. To calibrate the instrument, please ship the complete package that 
includes the meter, the base, the manifold and any fabrics used. Everything should be packed carefully 
within the carrying case and then inside a shipping box. The original shipping box is preferred. Before 
sending your instrument for calibration or repair, obtain a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number 
by visiting our website at http://rma.tsi.com
 or contacting customer service. When obtaining an RMA 
number, you will also learn the cost of service or calibration and receive shipping instructions. 
 
Tables 5 and 6 list the symptoms, possible causes, and recommended solutions for common problems
