10.4 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.
