9.4 Rectify faults
The operator of the system is responsible for taking suitable meas-
ures to rectify faults.
The first measures are:
•
Evaluation of fault messages, for example via the display and
adjustment module
•
Checking the output signal
•
Treatment of measurement errors
Further comprehensive diagnostics options offer a PC with the soft-
ware PACTware and the suitable DTM. In many cases, the reasons
can be determined in this way and faults can be rectified.
The below tables show typical examples for application-relevant
measurement errors. There are two measurement errors:
•
Constant level
•
Filling
•
Emptying
The images in column "Error pattern" show the real level with a bro-
ken line and the level displayed by the sensor as a continuous line.
