9.3 Rectify faults
The operator of the system is responsible for taking suitable meas-
ures to rectify faults.
The first measures are:
•
Evaluation of fault messages via the indicating and adjustment
module
•
Checking the output signal
•
Treatment of measurement errors
Further comprehensive diagnosis possibilities are offered by a PC
with the software PACTware and suitable DTM.
In many case, the failure reasons can thus be determined and faults
rectified.
The following table describes possible errors with the output signal
and helps to remove them:

Rectification
Output signal not stable
Level fluctuations
Set damping according to the instrument via
the display and adjustment module or PACT-
ware/DTM
Output signal missing
Electrical connection faulty
Check connection according to chapter
"Connection steps" and if necessary, correct ac-
cording to chapter "Wiring plan"
Voltage supply missing
Check cables for breaks; repair if necessary
Operating voltage too low
Check, adapt if necessary
