3.

If spanning on air, verify that the air source is free of water vapor (humid air will contain about .3% less oxygen than
expected, depending on temperature), and that bottle air does actually contain 20.9% oxygen.  Manufactured air
often does not!

4.

The flow rate is off.  Adjust it to be the same as when the unit was spanned.

Still no correct operation
