VEGA VEGAWAVE 61 - transistor (NPN-PNP) - Manual (Page 22)

7 Maintenance and fault rectification
7 .1 Maintenance
If the instrument is used properly, no special maintenance is required
in normal operation.
7 .2 Remove interferences
The operator of the system is responsible for taking suitable measures
to rectify faults.
VEGAWAVE 61 offers maximum reliability. Nevertheless, faults can
occur during operation. These may be caused by the following, e.g.:
l Sensor
l Process
l Voltage supply
l Signal processing
The first measure to be taken is to check the output signal. In many
cases, the causes can be determined this way and the faults rectified.
Should these measures not be successful, please call in urgent cases
the VEGA service hotline under the phone no. +49 1805 858550.
The hotline is available to you 7 days a week round-the-clock. Since
we offer this service world-wide, the support is only available in the
English language. The service is free of charge, only the standard
telephone costs will be charged.

Operating voltage too low Check operating voltage
Electronics defective Press the mode switch. If the instrument 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. If the instrument then does not
change the mode, the electronics module may be
defective. Exchange the electronics module.
Unfavourable installation
location Mount the instrument at a location in the vessel where
no dead zones or mounds can form.
Buildup on the vibrating
element Check the vibrating element and the sensor if there is
buildup and remove it.
