MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Maintenance

Hoods

The hoods will last longer if hand washed periodically in cool water
with a mild detergent. When handling do not allow the cloth to come
in contact with sharp corners or other objects which can tear or
puncture the material.

Static Electricity

Occasionally static electrical charges may be encountered, especially
in conditions of low humidity. If the Velometer Jr. will not hold a
zero setting, or gives erratic readings, it is suggested that you obtain
anti-static solution for use with the Balometer Jr. The solution may
be obtained from TSI as an accessory (see parts list on inside front
cover). To use, apply with a soft, lint-free cloth slightly moistened
with anti-static solution, rubbing gently over the outside surface of
the Velometer Jr. window.

Manifold

The manifold should be checked before using to be certain that the
sensing holes have not become clogged with dirt or dust particles.
Inspect for cracks which may cause air leaks. Also verify that a good
connection is made between the manifold and the range elector. The
manifold can be cleaned using mild detergent and warm water. Do
NOT immerse the entire manifold in water. It is recommended that
cleaning be done with the manifold in place, and with extreme care.

Zero Adjustment

Periodically check that the Velometer Jr. pointer is at zero when the
range selector is off. If not, use the zero adjustment screw to bring
the pointer to zero in the position the instrument is used.

Calibration

Your Balometer Jr. may be returned to the factory for calibration, or
if proper facilities are available, may be calibrated using the
procedures outlined in the Calibration section of this manual.
When shipping the Balometer Jr. for factory recalibration, pack it
carefully, and follow the Instructions for Return in this manual.
