8 Maintenance and fault rectification
8.1 Maintenance
W hen used in the correct way, no special maintenance is required in
normal operation.
8.2 Remove interferences
T he operator of the system is responsible for taken suitable measures
to remove interferences.
A maximum of reliability is ensured. Nevertheless, faults can occur
during operation. These may be caused by the following, e.g.:
l S ensor
l P rocess
l P
ower supply
l S ignal processing
T he first measures to be taken are to check the output signals as well
as to evaluate the error messages via the indicating and adjustment
module. The procedure is described below. Further comprehensive
diagnostics can be carried out on a PC with the software PACTware
and the suitable DTM. In many cases, the causes can be determined
in this way and faults can be rectified.
H owever, should these measures not be successful, call the VEGA
service hotline in urgent cases under the phone no. +49 1805 858550.

we offer this service world-wide, the support is only available in the
E
nglish language. The service is free of charge, only the standard
telephone costs will be charged.
