Maintenance 

The Model TA465 and probe accessories require very little 
maintenance to keep it performing well. 

Recalibration 

To maintain a high degree of accuracy in your measurements, we 
recommend that you return your Model TA465, 960 series 
thermoanemometer probes, IAQ and VOC probes to TSI for annual 
recalibration. Please contact one of 

TSI’s offices or your local 

distributor to make service arrangements and to receive a Return 
Material Authorization (RMA) number. To fill out an online RMA form, 
visit TSI’s website at

The Model TA465 and accessory probes can also be recalibrated in 
the field using the CALIBRATION menu. These field adjustments are 
intended to make minor changes in calibration to match a user's 
calibration standards. The field adjustment is 

NOT

 intended as a 

complete calibration capability. For complete, multiple-point 
calibration and certification, the instrument must be returned to the 
factory. 

Cases 

If the instrument case or storage case needs cleaning, wipe it off with 
a soft cloth and isopropyl alcohol or a mild detergent. Never immerse 
the Model TA465. If the enclosure of the Model TA465 or the AC 
adapter becomes broken, it must be replaced immediately to prevent 
access to hazardous voltage. 

Storage 

Remove the batteries when storing the unit for more than one month 
to prevent damage due to battery leakage.
