Measures
No measures required
Discolouration is harmless
Check the continuity, and if necessary
exchange the cable
Correct the power supply
Rectify the wiring
Replace instrument; if it fails repeatedly,
contact the manufacturer
Replace instrument; if it fails repeatedly,

Clean the sealing/sealing face, replace sealing
if applicable
Shield instrument; cable shield;
Remove source of interference
Lower/increase the temperature
Ground the instrument
Damping; consulting by the manufacturer
Lower/increase the temperature
Adjust the zero point
Reduce the pressure
