circuits must be observed.

Error code Cause

Rectification

E013

no measured value

available

– Sensor in boot phase

– Sensor does not find an echo, e.g.

due to faulty installation or wrong

parameter adjustment

E017

Adjustment span too

small

– Carry out a fresh adjustment and

increase the distance between min.

and max. adjustment

E036

no operable sensor

software

– Carry out a software update or send

instrument for repair

E041

Hardware error, elec-

tronics defective

– Exchange the instrument or send it

in for repair

Depending on the reason for the fault and the measures taken, the

steps described in chapter "Set up" may have to be carried out again.

8.3 Exchanging the electronics module

If the electronics module is defective, it can be replaced by the user.
In Ex applications only one instrument and one electronics module

with respective Ex approval may be used.
If there is no electronics module available on site, one can be ordered

from the VEGA agency serving you.

The new electronics module must be loaded with the settings of the

sensor. These are the options:

At the factory by VEGA

Or on site by the user

In both cases, the sensor serial number is necessary. The serial num-

bers are stated on the type label of the instrument, inside the housing

or on the delivery note.
Information:

When loading on site, first of all the order data must be downloaded

from the Internet (see operating instructions manual "Electronics

module").

The electronics modules are adapted to the respective sensor and

distinguish also in the signal output or power supply.

8.4 Software update

The software version of VEGASON 61 can be determined as follows:
