Maintenance and fault rectification
Relay
Set the function switch to position [ 1 ] (relay 1
l
on). For the given example, select the value
90.0 (90.0 %) with the [ +/- ] keys. The internal
relay 1 then switches on when this value is
reached. Save the value by pushing the two
keys simultaneously.
Set the function switch to position [ 2] (relay 1
l
off). Select the value 10.0 (10.0 %) with the [
+/-] keys. The internal relay 1 then switches off
when the value falls below this value. The
respective relay control lamp lights when the
relay is energized. If the switching points are
too close together (<0.1 %), the appropriate
LED flashes. The relay takes on the safe
condition. In mode "OPERATE " an error
message is outputted on the display.
If you want to control additional relays, proceed
l
in the same way, as with relay 1. The switch
positions for setting the respective relays are
stated in the list of the function switch under
"Setup procedure".
Note:
If you want to change the mode (i.e. the
switching function of the relays), you have
to exchange the On and Off values.
7 Maintenance and fault
rectification
7.1 Maintenance
When used as directed in normal operation,
VEGAMET 381 Ex is completely maintenance free.
7.2 Remove interferences
Causes of malfunction
VEGAMET 381 Ex offers maximum reliability.
Nevertheless, faults can occur during operation.
These may be caused by the following, e.g.:
Measured value of the sensor not correct
l
Voltage supply
l
Interference on the cables
l

Fault clearance
The first measures to be taken are to check the
input/output signals as well as to evaluate the error
messages via the display. The procedure is
described below. In many cases, the causes can
be determined in this way and faults can be
rectified.
