– Short-circuit due to bridging by con-
ductive buildup between process
fitting and electrode
– Remove buildup - if necessary,
mount a protective tube
Shortcircuit in the
probe, e.g. be-
cause of moisture
in the housing
– Remove the electronics module out
of the probe and check the resistor
between the two marked plug con-
nections according to the figure in
paragraph "Check the resistance in
the probe".
– There should be no contact
between any of the connections
(high resistance)
– If there is still a connection -
exchange the instrument or return
it for repair

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 new electronics module must be loaded with the order data of the
sensor. These are the options:
•
At the factory by VEGA

fication
