7 Maintenance and fault rectification
7.1 Maintenance
If the instrument is used properly, no special maintenance is required
in normal operation.
7.2 Rectify faults
The operator of the system is responsible for taking suitable measures
to rectify faults.
LEVEL SWITCH 8110 offers maximum reliability. Nevertheless, faults
can occur during operation. These may be caused by the following, e.
g.:
Sensor
l
Process
l
Voltage supply
l
Signal processing
l
The first measure to be taken is to check the output signal. In many
cases, the causes can be determined this way and the faults rectified.

Electronics de-
fective
Red signal lamp
Error with the
lights (switching

output high-impe-
tion

Shortcircuit or
overload
Red signal lamp
Virbating fre-
flashes (switching
quency out of
output high-impe-
specification
dance)
Buildup on the vi-
brating element
Vibrating element
damaged
Depending on the reason for the fault and the measures taken, the
steps described in chapter "Set up" may have to be carried out again.

Rectification
Check the voltage supply and the
cable connection
Exchange the instrument or send it in
for repair
Connect the instrument according to
the wiring plan
Check the electrical connection
Check the vibrating element on build-
up and remove it
Check the vibrating element and the
sensor if there is buildup and remove it
Check if the vibrating element is
damage or extremely corroded
