What occurs if the P-Trak is not kept horizontal during operation?

When the P-Trak is not kept horizontal during operation, it may display a TILT error message. This is because the P-Trak is designed to operate optimally when it is level. The device relies on its internal sensors to accurately measure particle concentrations, and being tilted can lead to misalignment of these sensors with the airflow path, thus compromising the accuracy of the readings.

Ensuring that the P-Trak remains horizontal is essential for maintaining its calibration and ensuring the reliability of the data it provides. If the device detects that it is not level, it will alert the user with a TILT error message, prompting them to adjust the device to the correct position for accurate monitoring. This feedback is an integral part of its design to safeguard against invalid data collection.
