Insufficient pressure

Ensure the pressure (an

 

 

differential pressure) is high

 

 

enough o operate the unit.

 

 

 

 

Varying pressure

Check the stability of the

 

 

pressure regulation and

 

 

improve if necessary.

 

 

 

 

Ambient temperature too high

Place the unit in a suitable

Ensure the voltmeter or

 

 

data acquisition system or

 

 

display has an impedance of

 

 

greater than of 2.5kohm
