Depending on the failure reason and measures taken, the steps

8.3 Exchanging the electronics module
In case of a defect, the electronics module can be exchanged by the
user against an identical type. If no electronics module is available on
side, the module can be ordered for the VEGA agency serving you.
Ordering and exchange are possible with or without sensor serial
number. The electronics module with serial number includes order-
specific data such as factory setting, seal material etc. These are not
included in the electronics module without serial number.
The serial number is stated on the type label of VEGABAR 61 or on the
delivery note.

Current sensor software as file
At "www.vega.com/downloads" go to "Software". Select under "plics
instruments and sensors" the suitable instrument series. Load the zip
file via the right mouse key with "Save target as" e.g. on the desktop of
your PC. Extract all files available in the zip file, e.g. to the desktop.
Connect the sensor to power supply and provide connection from PC
to the instrument via VEGACONNECT. Start PACTware and provide
connection to the sensor, e.g. via the VEGA project assistant. Close
the parameter window of the sensor, as far as open.
Go in the PACTware menu bar to "Instrument data", "Additional
functions" and "Update instrument software".
PACTware checks now the actual hardware and software version of
the sensor and displays the data. This procedure lasts approx. 60 s.
