6 Fault Diagnosis
Simple tests are described in the following which you can carry out yourself in
the case of malfunction. In the case of more difficult faults in individual
functions, please contact our service personnel. The tests described here are
not meant to lead you to carry out maintenance work yourself but to provide
our service personnel with information which is as accurate as possible.
Testing the vibrometer is limited to such tests in which the housing does not
have to be opened. Opening the housing without authorization invalidates the
warranty.
If required, please contact our service department. Based on your fault
description, further procedure will be determined.
If the vibrometer has to be sent back for repair, always use the original
packaging and enclose an exact description of the fault.
Please use the corresponding checklist in
, when you consult
Polytec or your nearest representative.
6.1 General Tests
If the vibrometer does not function properly, please first check the following:
1. Is the controller connected to the mains ?
2. Is the mains switch in position I ?
3. Is the L
ED
POWER on the front of the controller lit up ?
If the L
ED
is not lit up, it can be assumed that there is a a fault with the
mains power supply. Disconnect the mains plug and check the fuses on
the back of the controller. Note that there are two active fuses which can
both lead to failure.
Warning !
Always disconnect from the mains before checking the fuses !
