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:

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
