Rectification
– Check or correct installation
and/or parameter adjust-
ment
– Clean or exchange process
component or antenna
– Change adjustment accord-
ing to the limit values (dif-
ference between min. and
max. ≥ 10 mm)
– Check linearization table
– Delete table/Create new
– Repeat software update
– Check electronics version
– Exchanging the electronics
– Send instrument for repair
– Exchanging the electronics
– Send instrument for repair
– Separate operating voltage
briefly
– Wait for the warm-up phase
– Duration depending on
the version and parameter
adjustment up to approxi-
mately 3 min.
– Remove EMC influences
– Exchange 4-wire power
supply unit or electronics
– Check ambient temperature
– Isolate electronics
– Use instrument with higher
temperature range
– Exchanging the electronics
– Send instrument for repair
– Repeat setup
– Repeat reset
