Rectify faults

Reaction when malfunction occurs
The operator of the system is responsible for
taking suitable measures to rectify faults.
Causes of malfunction
The device offers maximum reliability. Never-
theless, faults can occur during operation.
These may be caused by the following, e.g.:
•
Sensor
•
Process
•
Voltage supply
•
Signal processing
Fault rectification
The first measure to take is to check the output
signal. In many cases, the causes can be de-
termined this way and the faults quickly rectified.
Reaction after fault rectification
Depending on the reason for the fault and the
measures taken, the steps described in chapter
"Setup" must be carried out again or must be
checked for plausibility and completeness.

Diagnosis, fault messages

Checking the switching signal
The LED illuminated ring on the device indica-
tes the operating status of the device. At the
same time it indicates the switching state of the
output. This enables simple on-site diagnosis
without the need for tools.
Error Cause
Green signal Voltage
lamp off supply inter-
rupted.
Electronics
defective
Green signal Maintenance
lamp flashes requirement

Rectification
Check the voltage
supply and the cable
connection
Exchange the instru-
ment or send it in for
repair
