Remove the electronics module.

Check the resistance between the

marked plug connections. See the fol-

Exchange the instrument or send it in

for repair

Remove the electronics module. Check the resistance between the

two plug connections.
There must no longer be a connection (high impedance). If there is

still a connection - exchange the instrument or return it for repair

In Ex applications, the regulations for the wiring of intrinsically safe

circuits must be observed.

Depending on the reason for the fault and the measures taken, the

steps described in chapter "Set up" may have to be carried out again.

7.3 Exchanging the electronics module

If the electronics module is defective, it can be replaced by the user.
In Ex applications only one instrument and one electronics module

with respective Ex approval may be used.
If there is no electronics module available on site, one can be ordered

from the VEGA agency serving you.

The electronics modules are adapted to the respective sensor. You

can find a suitable electronics module in the following overview.
