6.1 Maintenance
If the instrument is used properly, no special maintenance is required
in normal operation.
In some applications, product buildup on the diaphragm can influence
the measuring result. Depending on the sensor and application, take
precautions to ensure that heavy buildup, and especially a hardening
thereof, is avoided.
If necessary, clean the diaphragm. Make sure that the materials are
resistant to the cleaning process, see resistance list under "Services"
on "www.vega.com". The wide variety of applications of isolating
diaphragms makes special cleaning instructions necessary for each
application. Please ask the VEGA agency serving you.
6.2 Remove interferences
The operator of the system is responsible for taking suitable measures
to rectify faults.
VEGAWELL 52 offers maximum reliability. Nevertheless, faults can
occur during operation. These may be caused by the following, e.g.:
Sensor
l
Process

Voltage supply
l
Signal processing

The first measure to be taken is to check the output signal. In many
cases, the causes can be determined this way and the faults rectified.
Should these measures not be successful, please call in urgent cases
the VEGA service hotline under the phone no. +49 1805 858550.
