Electronics de-
fective
Press the mode switch on the signal
conditioning instrument. If the instru-
ment then changes the mode, the
vibrating element may be covered with
buildup or mechanically damaged.
Should the switching function in the
correct mode still be faulty, return the
instrument for repair.
Press the mode switch on the signal
conditioning instrument. If the instru-
ment then does not change the mode,
the electronics module is defective.
Exchange the electronics module.
Unfavourable in-
stallation location
Mount the instrument at a location in
the vessel where no dead zones or air
bubbles can form.
Buildup on the vi-
brating element
Check the vibrating element and
the sensor if there is buildup and re-
move it.
Wrong mode se-
lected
Set the correct mode on the signal
conditioning instrument (overflow pro-
tection, dry run protection). Wiring
should be carried out according to the
quiescent current principle.

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
If the electronics module is defective, it can be replaced by the user.
In Ex applications only an electronics module with respective Ex ap-
proval may be used.
You find all information to the electronics exchange in the operating
instructions of the new electronics module.
In general, all electronics modules of series SW60 can be inter-
changed. If you want to use an electronics module with a different
signal output, you carry out the complete setup. You find the neces-
sary, suitable operating instruction on our homepage.
