Depending on the reason for the fault and the measures taken, the
steps described in chapter "Setup" must be carried out again or must
be checked for plausibility and completeness.
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 also available outside normal working hours, seven
days a week around the clock.
Since we offer this service worldwide, the support is provided in
English. The service itself is free of charge, the only costs involved are
the normal call charges.
9.5 Exchanging the electronics module
In case of a defect, the user can replace the electronics module with
another one of identical type.
In Ex applications, only instruments and electronics modules with ap-
propriate Ex approval may be used.
If there is no electronics module available on site, one can be ordered
from the agency serving you.
Ordering and exchange are possible with or without sensor serial
number. The electronics module with serial number includes order-
specific data such as factory setting, seal material etc. These are not
included in the electronics module without serial number.
The serial number is stated on the type label of VEGABAR 81 or on
the delivery note.
You can find detailed information on the electronics exchange in the
booklet "Operating instructions for electronics module VEGABAR
series 80".
