Check operating voltage

Electronics de-

fective

Press the characteristic reversal

switch. If the instrument then changes

the mode, the vibrating element may

be covered with buildup or mechani-

cally damaged. Should the switching

function in the correct mode still be

faulty, return the instrument for repair.
Push the characteristic reversal

switch. If the instrument then does

not change the mode, the electronics

module may be defective. Exchange

the electronics module.

Unfavourable in-

stallation location

Mount the instrument at a location in

the vessel where no dead zones or air

bubbles can form.

Buildup on the vi-

brating element

Check the vibrating element and

the sensor if there is buildup and re-

move it.

Wrong character-

istic selected

Set the correct characteristics on the

characteristics reversal switch (over-

flow protection, dry run protection).

Wiring should be carried out accord-

ing to the quiescent current principle.

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.

7.3 Exchanging the electronics

If the electronics module is defective, it can be replaced by the user.
In Ex applications only an electronics module with respective Ex ap-

proval may be used.
You find all information to the electronics exchange in the operating

instructions of the new electronics module.
In general, all electronics modules of series SW60 can be inter-

changed. If you want to use an electronics module with a different

signal output, you carry out the complete setup. You find the neces-

sary, suitable operating instruction on our homepage.
