Setup preparations

If the electronics module is defective, it can be replaced quickly and
safely by the user.
In general two types of information are necessary for an electronics
exchange
1. Sensor data
These are the data the instrument gets by default during produc-
tion. They include e.g. the sensor type, the probe length, the
language, etc.
2. Parameter data
These are the application-specific data which you have entered
or modified during the sensor setup. These are for example the
displayed unit, the measuring point name, the adjustment date,
the damping, etc.
In Ex applications, only instruments and electronics modules with ap-
propriate Ex approval may be used.
With SIL qualified instrument, only a respective electronics module
with SIL qualification must be used.
The electronics modules are adapted to the respective sensor. Hence
the new electronics module must be loaded with the default settings
of the sensor.
The following options are available for restoring the sensor data:
Order the replacement electronics module from the agency serving
you.
When ordering the replacement electronics module, please state the
serial number of the sensor.
The serial numbers are stated on the type label of the instrument,
inside the housing as well as on the delivery note.
Note:
This procedure is only recommended if you have just a few sensors
and, in case of an instrument failure, you have enough time for an
ordering process that can last several days.
By default, the electronics module is loaded with the sensor data (fac-
tory settings) of the affected sensor. Remember that this electronics
module can only be used for the corresponding sensor.
The replacement electronics module is provided with the serial
number of the affected sensor. Before mounting, check if the serial
number on the replacement electronics module and the serial number
of the sensor correspond.
If you ordered the electronics module "ex works", it is ready for pa-
rameterization immediately after installation and connection to power
supply.
