TADM out of tolerance despite TADM being off

It sounds like you have TADM set to recording mode on one install, and monitoring mode on the other. That error can only be triggered when using a TADM enabled liquid class with TADM mode set to monitoring (which is a global setting defined in system configuration editor).

This error occurs when the live pressure value reported by the pipette heads internal pressure sensor exceeds or undershoots defined upper and lower pressure guard bands for the aspiration or dispense. This also occurs if guard bands are not defined in the liquid class, at the volume being used for aspiration and/or dispense. Again, these errors only occur when TADM mode is set to ‘monitoring’.

More detail regarding this topic is discussed in the following post:

Is the intent to have TADM set to monitoring? If this was set by mistake, simply change to ‘recording’ mode.

Thanks.
