7 Maintenance and fault rectification
7.1 Maintenance
If the instrument is used properly, no special maintenance is required
in normal operation.
7.2 Rectify faults
A maximum of reliability is ensured. Nevertheless, faults can occur
during operation. These may be caused by the following, e.g.:
•
Measured value from sensor not correct
•
Voltage supply
•
Interference on the cables
The first measure to be taken is to check the input and output signals.
The procedure is described as follows. In many cases the causes can
be determined this way and faults can be easily rectified.
Should these measures not be successful, please call in urgent cases
the VEGA service hotline under the phone no.
