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.
Changing seals in devices with differential pressure measuring cells may only be carried out by personnel authorized by
•
Siemens.
Note
Using the wrong seals
Using the wrong seals with flush-mounted process connections can cause measuring errors and/or damage the diaphragm.
Always use seals which comply with the process connection standards or are recommended by Siemens.
•
1. Clean the enclosure and seals.
2. Check the enclosure and seals for cracks and damage.
3. Grease the seals if necessary.
- or -
4. Replace the seals.
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.
