The hotline is also available outside normal working hours, seven

days a week around the clock.

English. The service itself is free of charge, the only costs involved are

the normal call charges.

9.5 Exchanging the electronics module

In case of a defect, the user can replace the electronics module with

another one of identical type.
In Ex applications, only instruments and electronics modules with ap-

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

from the agency serving you.
Ordering and exchange are possible with or without sensor serial

number. The electronics module with serial number includes order-

specific data such as factory setting, seal material etc. These are not

included in the electronics module without serial number.
The serial number is stated on the type label of VEGABAR 81 or on

the delivery note.
You can find detailed information on the electronics exchange in the

booklet "Operating instructions for electronics module VEGABAR

series 80".
