Exchanging the electronics module

In general, all electronics modules of series WE60 can be inter-
changed. If you want to use an electronics module with a differ-
ent signal output, you can download the corresponding operating
instructions manual from our homepage under Downloads.
With Ex-d instruments, the housing cover may only be opened if there
is no explosive atmosphere present.
Proceed as follows:
1. Switch off voltage supply
2. Unscrew the housing lid
3. Lift the opening levers of the terminals with a screwdriver
4. Pull the connection cables out of the terminals
5. Loosen the two screws with a screw driver (Torx size T10 or slot
4)
7 Maintenance and fault rectification
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 mode switch on VEGAWAVE 62 to "max". Set
the correct mode on the signal conditioning instrument
(A: overfill protection; B: dry run protection).
Check if the vibrating element is damaged or extreme-
ly corroded.
