8 Maintenance and fault rectification

PLICSMOBILE T81/B81/S81 • External GSM/GPRS/UMTS radio unit

55234-EN-170206

8  Maintenance and fault rectification

8.1 Maintenance

If the device is used properly, no special maintenance is required in 

normal operation.

8.2  Rectify faults

The operator of the system is responsible for taking suitable meas-

ures to rectify faults.

Maximum 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 in the cables

The first measures to be taken are to check the input/output signal as 

well as to evaluate the error messages via the DTM. The procedure is 

described below. In many cases, the causes can be determined and 

the faults rectified in this way.

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 manned 7 days a week round-the-clock. Since we offer 

this service worldwide, the support is only available in the English 

language. The service is free, only standard call charges are incurred.
