7 Maintenance and fault rectification
7.1

Maintenance

If the instrument is used properly, no special maintenance is required
in normal operation.
7.2

Rectify faults

The operator of the system is responsible for taking suitable meas-
ures to rectify faults.
VEGAVIB 63 offers maximum reliability. Nevertheless, faults can oc-
cur during operation. These may be caused by the following, e.g.:
•
Sensor
•
Process
•
Voltage supply
•
Signal processing
The first measure to take is to check the output signal. In many cases,
the causes can be determined this way and the faults quickly rectified.
Should these measures not be successful, please call in urgent cases
the VEGA service hotline under the phone no. +49 1805 858550.
The hotline is manned 7 days a week round-the-clock. Since we offer
this service worldwide, the support is only available in the English
language. The service is free, only standard call charges are incurred.

ement
Wrong mode selected
Rectification
Check operating voltage
Press the mode switch. If the instrument then changes
the mode, the vibrating element may be covered with
buildup or mechanically damaged. Should the switch-
ing function in the correct mode still be faulty, return the
instrument for repair.
Press the mode switch. If the instrument then does not
change the mode, the electronics module may be de-
fective. Exchange the electronics module.
Mount the instrument at a location in the vessel where
no dead zones or mounds can form.
Check the vibrating element and the sensor for buildup
and remove the buildup if there is any.
Set the correct mode with the mode switch (overflow
protection, dry run protection). Wiring should be carried
out according to the closed-circuit principle.
