Cause
Rectification
F013
no measured value
available
No measured value in the switch-on
phase or during operation
Check or correct installation and/or pa-
rameter settings
Clean the antenna system
F017
Adjustment span too
small
Adjustment not within specification
Change adjustment according to the limit
values (difference between min. and max.
≥ 10 mm)
F025
Error in the lineariza-
tion table
Index markers are not continuously rising,
for example illogical value pairs
Check linearisation table
Delete table/Create new
F036
No operable software
Checksum error if software update failed
or aborted
Repeat software update
Send instrument for repair
F040
Error in the electronics
Limit value exceeded in signal processing
Hardware error
Restart instrument
Send instrument for repair
F080
General software error
General software error
Restart instrument
F105
Determine measured
value
The instrument is still in the start phase,
the measured value could not yet be de-
termined
Wait for the end of the switch-on phase
Duration up to 3 minutes depending on
the measurement environment and pa-
rameter settings
F260
Error in the calibration
Checksum error in the calibration values
Error in the EEPROM
Send instrument for repair
