8 Maintenance and fault rectification
8 .1 Maintenance
W hen used as directed in normal operation, VEGAFLEX 63 is
completely maintenance free.
8 .2 Rectify malfunctions
T he operator of the system is responsible for taking suitable measures
to remove interferences.
VEGAFLEX 63 offers maximum reliability. Nevertheless, faults can
occur during operation. These may be caused by the following, e.g.:
l S ensor
l P rocess
l V oltage supply
l S ignal processing
T he first measures to be taken are to check the output signals as well
as to evaluate the error messages via the indicating and adjustment
module. The procedure is described below. Further comprehensive
diagnostics can be carried out on a PC with the software PACTware
and the suitable DTM. In many cases, the causes can be determined
this way and faults rectified.
