7 Maintenance and fault rectification
7.1 Maintenance
If the device is used properly, no special maintenance is required in
normal operation.
7.2 Rectify faults
The operator of the system is responsible for taking suitable meas-
ures to rectify faults.
VEGAVIB 63 offers maximum reliability. Nevertheless, faults can oc-
cur during operation. These may be caused by the following, e.g.:
•
Sensor
•
Process
•
Voltage supply
•
Signal processing
The first measure to take is to check the output signal. In many cases,
the causes can be determined this way and the faults quickly rectified.
Should these measures not be successful, please call in urgent cases
the VEGA service hotline under the phone no.

.
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.

then does not change the mode, the electronics mod-
ule may be defective. Exchange the electronics module.
