Why does the display read PROB?
Check the sensor pod and KTC probe(s). Make sure it is properly plugged into the unit.
Is the unit locked up? This can be confirmed by pressing any of the buttons on the
keypad, if the unit is locked up there will be no response to button presses and the unit
may appear to be working, but the readings won't change, also the chart will not rotate.
Remove power and battery, and then re-power.
Why does calibration seem to be off?
What is the tolerance of the unit it's being compared to?
It's ok if the unit is within the sum of the two tolerances.
Has an outside calibration house attempted calibration? It may not have been adjusted
properly.
Walk through calibration adjustment, found in the manual
Why won't the battery back-up work?
Are there good batteries in the Chart Recorder?
Keep in mind that battery backup varies significantly depending on temperature, pen
movement and chart rotation speed.
If there was a momentary power outage (Brown out), the unit may not have had enough
time to recognize this and switch to battery mode. (The Chart Recorder may lock up or
shut off in this situation) This situation may also occur if the unit is plugged into an outlet
that shares the circuit with other machinery that has phase motors or compressors that
cycle periodically. As these other machines cycle, they momentarily have a high current
draw, therefore drawing from the unit.
Why won't the chart recorder respond to changes?
Is the unit locked up? This can be confirmed by pressing any of the buttons on the
keypad, if the unit is locked up there will be no response to button presses and the unit

Why won't the unit power up?
Remove the batteries and power adapter for a minute or two, this will reset the unit. The
unit should respond when the adapter is plugged in.
