Setup Basics
Supplying Power
Connect the USB cable from the USB-C port on the meter to the USB-A port of: 1) the 5000 Series power supply, 2) a computer, or 3) other USB sources that can provide 5 VDC.
USB Hub Cable
Some computer USB ports are not capable of sufficiently powering up the Meter. If you are unable to power your Meter from the computer, connect the USBC-A power cable to the provided USB hub cable and plug the hub cable into the computer.
Turning Meter ON/OFF
The Meter may power itself on when connected to a power source. If not, press the power button to turn the Meter on. To turn the meter off, press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Connect Inlet Filter
TSI® recommends an inlet filter be used at all times while operating the Flow Multi-Meter.
Changing Tube Ends
- Unscrew collars and remove tube ends.
- Insert replacement tube ends into the meter while aligning the anti-rotation locking notch on the tube end with the tab on the meter.
- Screw collars back onto the meter.

Volume and Triggers
(Models 5210, 5220, and 5230 only)
Volume is a calculated measurement that integrates flow over time and is controlled through triggers. You can set begin and end triggers for volume measurements using flow rate, absolute pressure, or low differential pressure values.
Setting Triggers
The meter must be stopped to edit trigger settings. On the Volume tab, confirm that the Meter is stopped (shown below left) and press on the field you would like to edit.
If a volume measurement is active (shown below right), then press the Stop button to cancel the measurement and allow edits to be made to trigger settings.
In the Select Mode screen, you can choose:
Trigger Parameter | Flow, Absolute Pressure, or Low Pressure |
Test Mode | Single or Continuous |
Use the arrows to scroll through the selection options and click Save to complete.
In the Select Trigger screens, you can choose:
Begin / End Trigger Values | Select from available values |
Begin / End Trigger Slopes | Positive or Negative |
Note trigger options for the volume begin and end triggers. These are set as the default options and cannot be changed by the user.
Trigger | Units | Trigger Values |
Flow | Std L/min | +/– 0.1, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7.5, 10, 20 |
Absolute Pressure | kPa | 90, 95, 98, 100, 102, 104, 107, 110 |
Low Differential Pressure | cmH2O | +/– 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10 |
Making Volume Measurements
Once all settings have been saved, press the Play button to lock editing and begin making volume measurements.
The Multi-Meter will notify you on screen when the begin trigger, and then end trigger, is reached. Once the end trigger has been reached, the Meter will deliver the volume measurement.
