What does it mean if my TSI Instruments SidePak AM520 displays a NO DATA message?
A NO DATA message indicates that you are trying to review Test Statistics, but no Tests have been properly stored in memory. Record Tests using Manual or Program logging.
What to do if the TSI Instruments SidePak AM520 display shows nothing?
If nothing is visible on the display, make sure the unit is switched on by pressing the ESC key firmly for at least 2 seconds. Also, check the battery; it may be low or dead, requiring a replacement or connection to the AC adapter.
What does it mean if the green LED on the battery of my TSI Instruments Measuring Instruments is flashing on for 3 seconds and off for 1 second?
This flashing pattern indicates that the battery is either too hot or too cold to charge. Allow the battery to warm or cool to room temperature.
What to do if my TSI Instruments SidePak AM520 Measuring Instruments displays a LOG DATA READ or LOG DATA WRITE error message?
This message means logged data may have been corrupted. Download the logged data to TrakPro software to save it, then clear the corrupt data by performing a CLEAR MEMORY operation.
What does it mean if my TSI Instruments SidePak AM520 Measuring Instruments displays an INVALID START TIME message?
An INVALID START TIME message means you're trying to run a data logging program with a start time that has already passed. Set up the logging protocol for program logging using TrakPro software.
What does it mean when the green LED on the battery of my TSI Instruments SidePak AM520 Measuring Instruments flashes rapidly?
A rapidly flashing green LED on the battery indicates an internal battery pack fault. The battery cannot charge and needs to be replaced.
What to do if my TSI Instruments SidePak AM520 Measuring Instruments displays a ZERO DRIFT message?
A ZERO DRIFT message indicates that the zero baseline on the instrument has drifted, possibly due to zeroing with a dirty or leaking filter. Perform a zero calibration. See “Calibration, Zero Cal”, in Chapter 3, for more information.
How to unlock the keypad on my TSI Instruments Measuring Instruments?
If the display shows a red lock icon and the keypad is unresponsive, the keypad is locked. To unlock it, press and hold the ? key and press ?. See Data Logging in Chapter 3 for more information.
What does it mean if my TSI Instruments Measuring Instruments displays a BATTERY VOLTAGE DANGEROUSLY HIGH message?
This message indicates a problem with the charge circuit inside the battery, meaning it is not controlling the battery charge properly. Immediately unplug the AC adapter from the battery. Allow the instrument to run until the battery is discharged, then dispose of the battery according to regulations. Do not attempt to use the battery again.
What to do if the TSI Instruments SidePak AM520 battery icon is flashing red?
If the battery icon is flashing red, it means the battery charge is low. Recharge the battery or use the AC adapter.
