Depending on the failure reason and measures taken, the steps
described in chapter "Set up" must be carried out again, if necessary.

8.3 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 settings of the sensor must be downloaded into the new
electronics module. This can be done:

l

At the factory by VEGA

l

Or on site by the user

In both cases, the sensor serial number is needed. The serial numbers
are stated on the type label of the instrument, inside the housing or on
the delivery note.

Information:
When loading on site, first of all the order data must be downloaded
from the Internet (see operating instructions manual "Oscillator").

The electronics modules are adapted to the respective sensor and
distinguish also in the signal output or power supply.

8.4 Software update

The following components are required to update the sensor software:

l

Sensor

l

Power supply

l

VEGACONNECT

l

PC with PACTware

l

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.
