Cleaning; Defining The Maintenance Interval; Checking The Gaskets; Display In Case Of A Fault - Siemens SITRANS P310 with HART Compact Operating Instructions

6.2 Maintenance and repair work
6.2.1

Defining the maintenance interval

WARNING
No maintenance interval has been defined
Device failure, device damage, and risk of injury.
Define a maintenance interval for regular tests in line with device use and empirical values.
•
The maintenance interval will vary from site to site depending on corrosion resistance.

6.2.2

Checking the gaskets

Inspect the seals at regular intervals
Note
Incorrect seal changes
Incorrect measured values will be displayed. Changing the seals in a process flange of a differential pressure measuring cell
can alter the start-of-scale value.
The seals in devices with differential pressure measuring cells are not designed to be changed.
•
1. Clean the enclosure and seals.
2. Check the enclosure and seals for cracks and damage.
3. Grease the seals if necessary.
6.2.3

Display in case of a fault

Check the start of scale value of the device from time to time.
Differentiate between the following in case of a fault:
● The internal self test has detected a fault, e.g. sensor break, hardware fault/Firmware fault.
Displays:
– Display: "ERROR" display and ticker with an error text
– Analog output: Factory setting: Failure current 3.6 or 22.8 mA
Or depending on the parameterization
– HART: detailed error breakdown for display in the HART communicator or SIMATIC PDM
● Grave hardware faults, the processor is not functioning.
Displays:
– Display: no defined display
– Analog output: failure current < 3.6 mA
In the event of a defect, you can replace the application electronics by following the warning notes and the provided
operating instructions.

Cleaning

WARNING
Dust layers above 5 mm
Danger of explosion in hazardous areas. Device may overheat du to dust build up.
Remove any dust layers in excess of 5 mm.
