Diagnostics
5 Diagnostics
5.1 Maintenance
VEGABAR process pressure transmitters are
maintenance-free.
5.2 Failure rectification
Fault signals
VEGABAR provides maximum reliability with
its self-test and continuous self-monitoring.
VEGABAR diagnostics distinguishes between
atypical process conditions and faults in the
VEGABAR.
Atypical process conditions
Exceeding or falling short of measuring
range limits (fault signal extinguishes when
the measured value is again in the measuring
range).
Failure in VEGABAR
Failure in the electronics, interference or
damage of the measuring cell.
The following table assists in analysis of fault
signals.

item"Diagnostics no.“.
Diagnostics no. Meaning
1 Connection to CID converter inter-
rupted
2 Frequency signal of the capacitor not
within the limit values
3 Frequency signal of the reference
capacitor not within the limit values
4 Frequency signal temperature not
within the limit values
7 Communication error to EEPROM
9 Error in EEPROM CRC-checksum
11 Process fitting or electronics unit has
been exchanged (appears for approx.
20 s after switching on for the first
time after the exchange)
Troubleshooting
If the displayed value does not correspond
to the level in the vessel or to the process
pressure, the following measures must be
taken:
- check the pressure compensation (only
with gauge pressure measuring ranges)
- check the electrical connection.
