7 Maintenance and fault rectification

VEGATOR 121 •

46107-EN-131217

Cause

Rectification

Sensor current < 3.6 mA

– Check signal conditioning instrument

– Check the terminal voltage on the signal

conditioning instrument; if it is < 17 V, the

signal conditioning instrument is defective -> ex-

change signal conditioning instrument or return

it for repair

– In case the terminal voltage > 17 V, disconnect

the sensor cable on the signal conditioning

instrument and replace it with a 1 kΩ resistor.

If the fault signal does not disappear, the

signal conditioning instrument is defective -> ex-

change signal conditioning instrument or return

it for repair

– Check sensor or sensor cable

– Reconnect the sensor cable to the signal con-

ditiong instrument, disconnect the sensor and

replace it with a 1 kΩ resistor. If the fault signal

does not disappear, then the sensor cable is

broken -> replace the sensor cable

– If there is no longer a fault signal on the line,

the sensor is defective -> exchange sensor or

return it for repair

Sensor current > 21 mA

– Check signal conditioning instrument

– Disconnect sensor cable and replace it with

a 1 kΩ resistor. If the fault signal does not

disappear, the signal conditioning instrument

is defective -> exchange signal conditioning

instrument or return it for repair

– Check sensor or sensor cable

– Reconnect the sensor cable to the signal con-

ditiong instrument, disconnect the sensor and

replace it with a 1 kΩ resistor. If the fault signal

does not disappear, then the sensor cable is

short-circuited -> eliminate the short-circuit or

replace the sensor cable

– If there is no longer a fault signal on the line,

the sensor is defective -> exchange sensor or

return it for repair

7.3 How to proceed if a repair is needed

You can find a repair form as well as detailed information on how to

proceed under www.vega.com/downloads and "Forms and certifi-

cates".
By doing this you help us carry out the repair quickly and without hav-

ing to call back for needed information.
If a repair is necessary, please proceed as follows:

Print and fill out one form per instrument

Clean the instrument and pack it damage-proof

Attach the completed form and, if need be, also a safety data

sheet outside on the packaging
