The following table shows the codes and text messages of the status
message "Failure" and provides information on causes as well as
corrective measures.
Sensor does not detect an echo
during operation

tive
Adjustment not within specifica-
tion
Index markers are not continu-
ously rising, for example illogical
value pairs
Failed or interrupted software
update
Hardware defect
General software error
The instrument is still in the
start phase, the measured value
could not yet be determined
Error in the internal instrument
communication
Temperature of the electronics
in the non-specified range
Error in the calibration carried
out in the factory
